Re: Your Opinion Whether the New '57 Packard Vertical Grille Would Have Been a Marketing Hit?

I think it would have sold well. It did not look like the Edsel which faired poorly partly because of its name. What the H__L is an Edsel? You might as well have named it Ollie or Sven - it would have been ridiculed as much as Edsel. A Packard would still have been a Packard. And the Clipper name was good also. Some who liked the look of Chrysler products in 57 and forward, may not have appreciated it. I for one laughed at the fins stuck on that product. Different tastes for different folk. It is purely a matter of taste.
