<i>I wonder if Packard got out of that lease when they folded? (Pic on pg 574 of the Kimes book.)</i>

heh...Chrysler said it was a 5 year lease, and they wanted to be paid for all 5 years, even though Packard vacated after only 2. iirc the Ward book goes into the details of how much S-P had to pay to get out of that lease.

Manufacturing Manager Neil Brown, who later bemoaned the quality of the cars coming out of the Conner "crackerbox".

I don't recall if it was Brown, but I have seen a Packard production manager's reply when the honchos were screaming for more production, that he could hit the production rate the suits wanted, but "none of them will pass inspection"

<i>He used a Magic 8 Ball. I'm quite sure of it.</i>
