... Packards of that era, equipped with the absurdly fragile 1st Generation Ultramatics....

I'll agree with the sluggish, but certainly not the fragile. Those '50-'54 Ultramatics behind the in-line 8 engines were robust and had very good longevity, often equal to the lifespan of the engine and in any case a far longer service life than the next generation, the Twin Ultramatic.
