I realize that a lot of you have more knowledge than I about this subject and that nothing we say or do is going to change
the fact that Packard is gone, however the subject is always
ripe for honest debate, much like the debate in the
Richard III society. With that I would like to propose something. Maybe you sports fans can relate to this. There a program on TV called "5 reasons why You can't blame.........".
So here goes.

'5 reasons why you can't blame Jim Nance for the fall of Packard'

The death of George Mason:
George Mason and Jim Nance got together and decided to each combine their respective car lines and then merge it all together. Mason with Rambler, Nash and Hudson, Nance with Packard and Studebaker. Each accomplished their goals. However before the final merger George Mason died and the new CEO George Romney would not go with the deal. The reasons for his reluctance I don't think has ever been made clear,but the bottom line is the final merger did not take place.
