Hi

What an apt title "Fading From View: Packard's Senior Eights of 1937-1942"......fading from public view is exactly what happened. By 1941, all Senior models acounted for just 6% of the total production.

Perception is reality, and a prestige reputation is a fragile thing. When the public sees over 90% of the cars you produce as generally equal to other medium priced cars, well, there goes your luxury car prestige reputation, drowning in a sea of medium price cars.
