Looking at the pics of both sides of the 4-dr clay it appears that one side was a hardtop with a Predictor C-pillar while the other was a sedan with a fixed B-pillar (very thin) and slender reverse slanted C-pillar.

Was this the strategy? Use one roof stamping, trimmed differently between hardtop and sedan? Was the 2-dr hardtop to use the same roof as the 4-dr hardtop or was it to have a shorter roof (in length, possibly in height) similar to Cadillac?

Always got confused over the photos and renderings in Kimes et al books as to what Packard's '57 greenhouse strategy was. Now it's starting to become more clear. Maybe...
