The Deuce should have bought Packard in mid-'56, am more convinced than ever.
Well, the Mark II's frame would allow the lower roofline that fashion required.
Move Packard production into the Continental plant, drop the Clipper, use the MkII frame and powertrain. One problem is, they would be fighting years of Packard being downmarket. One look at the Caddies of the early 50s shows how far behind Packard was. The second problem is the Deuce lost his shirt on the Continental and probably would not have wanted a chance of a repeat.
