I used to have a VHS copy of an old Packard company film where they compare the performance of the new 1940 Super Eight with the 356 CI against an older model 1939 Super Eight. The '40 absolutely blew the doors off of the '39 in a straight line acceleration test. Those cars had very impressive performance.

They also had to « sell » that the 356 was a fitting replacement for the 12
The big Buick engine was similar in power. The 356 was about 20% more horses than the Cadillac V8.
