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

The '57 Packard isn't very appealing to me personally, but there were other '57 models that did have vertical grilles that were successful. I also happen to like the '59 Edsel front Grille very much. I think if the '59 Edsel bodystyle had been introduced as the 1958, the Edsel would have been very popular.

The Packard Grille for '57 could have been done a little better, (I like the '55 Packard Request grille more) but could have been kept in the Senior body styles and kept the Clippers with a more conventional horizontal grille. That way the market could have gone with both styles.
