RE: IML: Lurkers and Imperials

["Dick Benjamin" <dickb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Many of us Imperial nuts have some history with Packards - myself included.
The dedication to quality of fit and finish, and the luxury that was bred
into the Packard engineering and manufacturing process carried over into the
Imperial crew at Chrysler - as many of the folks who left Packard during its
painful downfall in the 50s wound up at Chrysler, and since they were
familiar with  the luxury car market, were put to work on the higher priced
cars.  Dick Teague is the most notable of those, but there were many others
from the Packard ranks involved in the design of our favorite cars.

Dick Benjamin (with 5 Imperials, but even more Packards!)
