Today's market shift back to taller vehicles is reminder that not everyone back in '57 may have wanted a super low car. Here's a work-up that keeps Packard's taller height and instead works on proportions, with five inches added to rear overhang and front axle-to-dash. Reverse doors only if front-hinged could not have been made to work. Most of the body dies would have been carried over, several modified and only the hood and front fenders made new. Like the 1937 Seniors, these cars would have won not with the latest styling trends but with styling refinement and advanced engineering. Together with a Studebaker-based Clipper would have made for a fairly fresh showroom.
