Somewhere I have an article (can't vouch for its accuracy) that Studebaker's plan was to give the Excellence some Packard styling cues and market it as a Packard. I'll try to find the article and post it.

The Facel II is very high on my list of esteemed cars, as are most of the 50s-70s Euro- designed cars powered by bulletproof American V8s.
Bizzarrini, Iso, Monteverdi, Jensen Interceptor, Apollo, Facel-Vega, DeTomaso...[
