Re: Which Packard could be termed "minimal design"?

I think it is a legit design question.
Minimal design might be a late '40s Packard 2-door fastback. I'd consider models without all the chrome that are beautiful in shape alone. Some of the export Packards with their black tires and lack of options have that quality. But in that category I put the '53 Studebaker Starliner coupe, the '56 Continental. They tend to be elegant without being flashy. Of course, Shiny suggested, elegance is a matter of taste. I kind of cringe when I see a classic with double spotlights. Less gingerbread is good, IMHO. Minimal.

Of course the Duchess must have her bangles.
