New Packard Line For '55 Presented Packard and Clipper models for 1955. completely restyled and new in every major mechanical fea ture, were shown over the U.S. today.' Representing the culmination of two-car program to recapture Packard's former prominence in the fine car field, the cars are being produced in new Detroit area facilities representing the greatest move in the company's history, James J. Nance, presi dent of Studebaker-Packard Cor poration told a national press group at a meeting which included a tour of Packard a new engine and body plants. A new suspension with a torsion bar principle is the outstanding new feature of the new cars. The Packard official said that with this development of torsion suspension, a type being tised for the first time on a production automobile, Packard was moving in advance of a new trend toward riding com fort. Nance observed that the em phasis in engineering and develop ment during recent f years had been centered on mechanical improvement, with V-8 engines of increased horsepower, power brakes, power steering, to meet new traffic conditions of the post war period. This emphasis, he further com mented, was currently being sup plemented by a strong element in styling by offering wide and varied choices of color and trim schemes to meet the growing desire on the part of the consumer to express individuality in his car. Nance predicted the next major move in automobile merchandising would be directed toward provid ing the customer with greater rid ing comfort. He said that it was because of this strong belief that new standards or riding comfort would be the next major cycle in engineering development: that in planning the 1955 Packard the de cision was made to introduce the new torsion-level method of sus pension.
