You're probably right. Developing automatics and PS et al would sell more cars than AC but still since they had already developed a unit that would bolt right in -- even though it was somewhat crude, it worked -- I think just offering it would have differentiated them more from the competition.

I guess after the war crush was over they couldn't sell that many expensive models as it was so maybe AC would not have sold either. At least Packard mgt must have thought it wasn't worth spending much on. They proved that in the way they treated AC even after it was brought back. The same 53 unit Cadillac and Packard bought from Frigidaire was much more refined in the Cadillac version than in the Packard version. In 54 Cadillac refined theirs farther but Packards version stayed the same.
