Hi (Again)

On the issue of whether the influx of Packard people into Lincoln in time to greatly influence the '58 models: I doubt if they had any great affect on the results.

Consider the timing, leaving Packard in mid-'56 to arrive at Lincoln development program two years along for a car whose prototypes were in existance and pre-production cars would be underway by Spring '57.

Anyone have insight on the timing of that '58 development program? (I know this isn't the Lincoln Forum, just the same there is such a wellspring of knowledge out there I have to ask)
