Dwight - good luck with your book, sounds like it will be a fascinating read!

A fellow Packard enthusiast and I have been kicking around survival strategies directly related to those 57/58 proposals. I recently posted a few what-if photo alterations that play with the idea of shared platforms with other OEMs, some working in the Predictor theme. Given Packard's greatly weakened state by then, sharing sans merger might have been the only option. If you unearth any related info such as discussions that Nance et al may have had with other OEMs, beyond what James Ward has already documented, would be a fabulous addition to the lore.

Recently completed yet another what-if, this time based on the '57 Turnpike Cruiser. Will post in a separate thread.
