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?
Yes, I quite agree. As nice as it may have looked, the Facel Vega-based car wouldn't really be a Packard . . . any more than the scheme to use the 1956 Lincoln as a basis for a "new" Packard would have been. Sure, it looked great . . . but was it a Packard? No.
