Fareastdriver,
Caught me "bang to rights" again. Of course you're right.
Always thought Packard to be an upmarket division of General Motors Inc, not quite a Cadillac, but a long way up from the humble Chevvie.
How many long-held and cherished notions has Google/Wiki destroyed ! Ah, well.
Scrap of jingle from long ago:
♫..."Oh, you cain't git to Heaven in a Ford V-8 -
'Cos the Devil he drives - a Chev-ro-let"...♫
Danny.
