I think you nailed it when they started to "match" the Cadillac and lost the luxury market. That's not leading, and not leading has it's consequences, aka following.
It took them a decade post war to change to the v-8 engine, way too late. Competition left them in the dust on that one.
The clipper front end is warmed over late 30s LaSalle.
