To update the car from '57 to '58:

Fins on top of fins!

Quad headlights where duals would have fit!

 

It's an interesting car--and the hardtop styling

looks good--but the styling certainly is unusual.

Today, it's a part of history, showing how Studebaker-

Packard tried to update their cars on a modest budget.

Wow, I don't see many of these! Very interesting. I'll be honest with you: I love it! I've seen that kind of front end on the Hawk cars, but not on the larger models. Anyone know production numbers? I'm guessing very low.

JamesR: 

The published production numbers for 1958 Packards are as follows:

58L-Y8 4dr Sedan: 1,200

58L-J8 2dr Hardtop: 675

58L-P8 4dr Station Wagon: 159

The 1958 Packard Hawk:

58LS-K9: 2dr Sport Hardtop: 588

The styling development is a story in itself.

A car you will not see at a car show.........

Must be mostly Studebaker.... a Packard would not have fuzzy dice 

Why does it have an antenna on the front fender and an antenna on the trunk?

I hope I don't get into hot water but I just couldn't resist.

 

This car is kinda like Pete Davidson - so ugly it is attractive.

 

AND YES I AM JEALOUS - my ugliness (or $$$$$ or whatever) is not attractive like his ?????!!!!!!:(:(:(:(
