That bottle jack arrangment would be a real asset in the 41-42 180's.

Packard and Dietrich supposedly didn't get along all too well. Dietrich was rather extroverted and a fun loving party animal. He did a fantastic job modernizing the Packard line for the 6th series. However, in the background was a much quieter talent named Werner Gubritz who took the Dietrich forms and carried them right into 1942. Dietrich had real problems at Chrysler too. He was somebody easily made into a corporate target. Which just goes to show that corporate bullies are in fact cowards whose staying power is manifest in running talent out of town on a rail to the detriment of the stockholders.
