What a comedown for a once-noble marque like Packard... a mudpout-faced Stude with a blower tacked on.

While the exterior of this car rates STELLAR; again, compare its uninspired interior (though done up better than its original counterpart) along aside any late 50s early 60s Thunderbird or the certain of the Chryslers) to those its inspired peers: it loses.

What destroys Studebakers across the board -- diminishing their stellar exteriors -- is that of their utterly CHEAP, TACKY and MINDLESS interior designs, structural finishes (err ... hexhead botls and screws ... would be preferred to jarring flathead or Phillips head: for that matter concealed fasteners of any sort would prove optimal; crude welds) poor suspension engineering ... rendering total ridership experience abysmal unless SERIOUS MODIFICATIONS aka IMPROVEMENTS are made by an owner

Beautiful car. Actually, this car was produced in South Bend by the Studebaker-Packard Corp. These two companies merged in 1954, and the '57 and '58 Packards were based on Studebaker designs. It was a complicated business deal, but never helped either company as hoped. Last Packard produced was in '58, while the last Studey was made in So.Bend in '63, and in Canada in 1965.
