I remember reading in either Hemmings Classic Car mag or Collectible Automobile but I think it was the former, that the Packard V8 lived on in the Rolls-Royce & Bentley 412 V8. The claim was Rolls bought up the plans/rights in 1958 or so. I've only read it there so wouldn't bet my car on it but....


Don't go for pinks. Definitely an auto urban legend utterly without basis. The RR and the Packard engine share nothing in common, other than being V8s.

Lots of good reading here -http://www.rroc.org.au/wiki/index.php?title=History:RR-V8_Designer
