Packard in Detroit closed on 26 June, 1956. It was a bitter end to a proud marque. Had Packard been able to launch the '57s they had planned, those cars would have been the most advanced production cars of their day. Features that didn't become common until the mid-'60s and even into the '70s would have been standard on these Packards - fuel injection being one.

For 1957 and 1958, there were "Packards" built on the Studebaker President chassis and body shell at the Studebaker plant in South Bend, Indiana.

I've been trying to upload a photo of the "Packard" truck, but I'm having trouble doing it.
