Re: Would it have been easier to salvage Packard than Studebaker?

I had a Packard in 1960. One reason I got it at a very attractive price was that Packards were notorious rust bombs. When I wen looking, I also looked at straight eights; it was impossible to find solid rocker panels.

I post this because, as we get involved in predictions and what ifs, I think we forget the dynamics that were at work in the day. Obviously rust was far from the only factor, but it was far more important then than now.......
