Pre-Prototype Body Construction, Studebaker-Packard Corporation 57th Series Product Program, 1951-1956
01
Artifact Overview
Studebaker and Packard merged in 1954, hoping to solve financial problems at both companies. The new corporation marketed its cars as two distinct brands until 1958, though by 1957 Packard cars were essentially rebadged Studebakers. This photo shows work on the 57th series -- continuing Packard's tradition of series designations rather than model years.
