JD, good point about the price of the Mk IIs. These Continentals, as you know, had a lot of hand work in the assembly, specially built and tested engines and transmissions, and expensive trim items and interior materials. Packard could have cut the cost considerably with mass production methods and less expensive materials. Another point is modifying the body to make it a 4-door sedan. This would have been expensive. I too would like to see how a Packard style grille treatment would have worked on this body. Still, to me, it is the most attractive of the options discussed so far.
