John_S_in_Penna Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 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. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesR Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Eaton Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 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?

Joe Cocuzza Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 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 ?????!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
