I agree that the educated criticism shouldn't get you banned from the Packard clan.

The first version seems to try to look like a car with a three position top, or a coupe towncar, and to me does come off kitsch-y. The front of versions 2 and 3 reflects what was going on in the industry and particularly at Chrysler, with wide wrap-around grilles. All three versions suffer from seeming to be pieced together from different designs (which in fact they were).

I don't agree on the 48 Cadillac's modernity - I think it is in fact less evolved. The fuselage bodies from Hudson, Packard, K-F, Lincoln after the war are to me a bolder direction than GM's "2 fenders instead of 4".
