The final conclusion can only be that Nance was a self centered jerk. That coincides with his being fired by Henry Ford II after a brief stint at Lincoln (or Mercury).


I'm not sure that I would come to that conclusion based on the comments from a competitor. There's usually more than a bit of self-interest expressed in these types of interviews.


That said, Governor Romney certainly did foresee many of the economic difficulties that are currently plaguing our nation. Oddly, we seem to still be making the same mistakes that he identified in 1981.

Lastly, I'm always amused whenever I see one of these "what-if" scenarios. Can anyone honestly say that had Packard merged into AMC the result would have perpetuated the marque's sterling luxury image? Really, would any of us wanted to see an grassy green 1978 Packard with 5mph bumpers, a white vinyl top, and plastic rub strips parked in a showroom in between a yellow Pacer and a brown Matador?
