Floyd Clymer's reports are always an entertaining read, thanks for posting it. He seemed to be fairly objective in his approach, though he did come across as a bit of a Kaiser-Frazer cheerleader.

Including the survey comments added some personal color beyond the technical. The one that gave me a laugh is on page 264:

"The payoff, however, came in response to the question "Why did you buy a Packard?" A Texas man replied "Inherited money-- -wife with big ideas!"

Evidently Packard still had enough prestige value for that woman to insist on one.
