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

Packard was just in the way of opportunism and was small and fragile enough at the time that no one would make much noise. No one was questioning GM at that point, and they had already rolled over light rail transit by then.

But, consider the potential Congressional hearings and blogs today if it happened now...

By the way. GM sued the government over damage done by the Air Force to the Opel plants that Hitler had seized. Don't know if they got the money, but it contrasts with Packard's attitude..
