Packard in the media again

I've heard Packard mentioned 4 or 5 times on 3 different news outlets this morning. The conversations were about the big 3 automakers struggling now and how some analysts are saying they might have to merge. Then they mention the 1950's mergers and how Packard-Studebaker merged and it only bought them time.

One of the reporters angered me a bit because he was trying to equate the Packard part of the merger as being the "Edsel" side of the merger.
