Very interesting, Dave. Didn't know Lingbergh had anything to do with Cord.
Attempted rough graft of Auburn front onto Packard Six shown on right side of previous images. Simply slapping an Auburn grill onto the Packard Six might not have been enough. Auburn had completely different fenders and a shorter rear overhang, all of which gave it a distinctive look. Perhaps Packard could have bought Auburn's tooling in 1936 and made the cars alongside the One Twenty. Here too, easier said than done!
