Interesting. Something never mentioned in articles lamenting the end of Packard, and/or blaming Studebaker, is that Studebaker made its greatest one-year profit in its over-100-year history, the very first year after there wasn't a Packard in the lineup. That, and the loss in '57 was 1/4 what it was in '56, with a mostly-unchanged Studebaker lineup.
All that said, I could still enjoy a white and Scottish Heather '56 Four-Hundred!Bill Pressler

Good story but, although Peerless stopped producing automobiles,
They had purchased the American brewing rights to Carling. Converted the factory and became a brewer of Carling Red Cap and Black Lable.
