Interesting you bring up the Mercedes Benz subject. I have mentioned before that maybe a better way to go for Packard would be to have their post 1958 cars base on senior Mercedes. Acknowledge that the Mercedes design was dated, but they continued to sell to a limited high end market. A reworked Mercedes body shell with Packard influences, to me, may have been the route to go. Better than the foot ball stadium sized Lincoln bodies. The Mercedes based Packards could have had the classic, but modern styling and high quality interiors. The Mercedes body would have lent itself to a classic vertical Packard grille treatment. Nice to dream, isn't it?
