Re: Packard V8 in 57-58 Packards?

This is an interesting link. It seams that Studebaker used no less than three different headlamp layouts (plus the Hawk) for 1958:

low-line Scotsmans feature a design that looks very "57", then, there is a 2-door Champion (5th picture) with single headlamps in the "bulged" housing (probably the legal variant for states that didn't allow quads), and the usual dual headlamps on a stock Champion Sedan (6th picture).

NB: As far as I know the '56 Golden Hawk was quite heavy up front, so even more power possibly would have been dangerous. The 289, of course, was lighter.
