**Pedant Alert**

The Packard 200 write-up is a bit inaccurate...

That 200 body was not retained by Packard until 1956 - it went out of production in 1954 and was superceded by a new heavily revised body until 1956. 

The Packard 200 was made until 1956 - it's name went in 1952 but afterwards it continued  and was instead named Clipper until 1956 - using the revised body after 1954.

Packard production did not then cease finally until 1958 - although by then they were just badge-engineered Studebaker's.

Packard had ceased being an independent company by  October 1954 when it had merged with Studebaker.

After 1958 the joint company only made Studebakers because Packard sales were so poor.

Great cars. Sad story. Killed off by Cadillac's success and the 1950's price-war between GM, Ford and Chrysler.

But thanks for posting the really great pictures and write-up - it looks a super place to visit.
