I also tend to agree with O_D, but carrying this one step farther, "Clipper" would have been a great name. I think calling the 1941-47 newly styled cars by this name was a mistake along with continuing a 6-cylinder model. The '30s junior cars as Clippers, and the newly styled cars still bearing the Packard name. The junior "Clippers" could have still had a strong family appearance, without infringing as much as they did on the senior Packard's styling. Further, I never understood why the PMCC started the Clipper model line. Maybe because they were continuing with a few models of the old-style cars. I do not know.
