Re: How long did Packard build trucks?

There were also a number of Studebaker Transtar-based pickups built in 1957 or 58 for export to Argentina. Something about the South American dealer having a license to import Packards, but not Studebakers. They were basically stock Transtars with a big Packard decal across the front of the hood, and also on the tailgate. Certainly not true Packard trucks by any means, but an interesting historical sidelight. Photos can be pretty easily found on the web.
