Hello Troy:
Yes, I started a thread about an Art Exhibit here in Detroit (Southfield, MI) showcasing those designs and designers just last week. You can see it here;https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=160566&topic_id=15978&#forumpost160566
I was there for opening night and several of the designers are current members of Motor City Packards - they introduced me around. There is a loose group of designers that hang out for coffee at COSI in Birmingham, MI each Tuesday where they shoot the breeze.
In the video you linked you may have noticed MaryEllen (Green) Dohrs - the designer of the 1955 Caribbean and 400 seats. We had her as a speaker at the 2013 PAC National Meet. She started her career at GM as an interior designer and later worked at Sundberg-Ferar in the middle 1950s when Dick Teague hired her as a contract employee.
Lovely woman. I've interviewed her several times and she tells great stories of what it was like to work in the male dominated auto world in Detroit.
