You can't run a business by setting your production level and then wondering if you can sell them, at least not for very long, so I don't see Packard increasing capacity beyond demand as a good idea.
The 46 was quite competitive, but as discussed in a time of sold out production it didn't make sense to sell less profitable cars. The 6 should not have survived the war. The 22nd series came out in 47, and is again quite contemporary. I think things start unravelling in 50 - 51. As another poster said, there was a big push for "new". The 51, while I think lacking distinction, is also contemporary, but should have been the 50. Then the V8 in 53.
