The last cars to roll off the line for a car company that's about to go about of business are usually pretty sad. The 1954 Hudson, the 1966 Studebaker, the 1987 AMC Eagle - these were all models that were long out of date because the companies that built them were out of money.
Packard Motors of Detroit, Michigan built its last car in 1956. A car of superb quality that was better looking than rival Cadillac, the final Packards built 1955-6 featured a new V-8 engine, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, and power windows.
