I'm reminded once again why I like this site so much...I learn new history every time I visit!... 
...
The reasoning behind a Facel Vega-based Packard makes some sense - I'd never HEARD of it until right now.
Without a Packard V-8 drive train, and torsion-bar suspension,though, why bother to label the beast as a Packard?
I'm happy to see the Marmon V-16 mentioned in the above posts. It's always been underrated in comparison to the other classic automobiles of the era, in my opinion.
