18:35 The Packard hawk did not have fastback styling, but a conventional notchback. It replaced the Studebaker Golden Hawk's square profile rear deck with a sloping surface and a stamped wheel impression predictive of the Valiant toilet seat, and the Hawk's classic grille with the front of a hagfish. By 1958, the Packard name had been applied to a series of highly trimmed Studebakers, but they were not Packards.
13:23 That is neither a '57 model nor a Golden Hawk. It is a '56 model. apparently a modified Power Hawk. It was powered by a normally aspirated 259 cubic inch Studebaker V8. The next step up, the Sky Hawk came with a Studebaker 289. The '56 Golden Hawk came with the Packard 352 rated at 275 horsepower. The '57 Golden hawk used a supercharged version of the Studebaker 289. Superchargers were available on American production cars in the 1920s, so it is inaccurate to claim that the Golden Hawk was among the first supercharged American cars. 14:34 The fade-out/fade-in transitioned from the modded '56 Power Hawk to a '57-'58 Silver Hawk, again, not a Golden Hawk.
I had one of those bullet nosed Studebakers. You could measure it's 0 - 50 time in decades, rather than seconds! On the other hand, very little would ever slow it down once up to speed. One cold winter day, after a pretty heavy snowfall, I took an NON-plowed road. After cresting the hill, eventually, I "gunned it" on the down slope. There was a quite a snowdrift across the dirt road. Snow was hitting the ground for 10 minutes after I buried that Stude up to the roofline. Several hours later a local snowplow came by. One of those big ones used to clear mountain passes. He did make ME crawl through the snow to hook up a chain to the frame. 2 hours later it was back out. Needless to say, I never took that road again in the winter.
7:45That's not a Commander. It's a Champion. Look at he instrument cluster. The Commander had three round pods whereas the Champion used a trapezoid cluster shape.
I sure would have liked to see the front of the '55 Packard Caribbean but you didn't show it. Lots of errors in this video. Another start-up video site that doesn't check any of it's information for truth.
Which of these cars have you driven?😊😊

10:37 That is not a convertible, let alone a Caribbean. It's a Four Hundred hardtop, and it does not have the push-button Twin Ultramatic.
WOW. Looking at the comments, it would seem this video has a few errors. 😮
Wrong year 1957-1958 for the Cadillac Eldorado Brougham, NEW $13,000 to $15,000!
Hudson's problem was not having the funds to develop a V8, it was eclipsed by the Olds Rocket V-8!!!
24:24 Okay, so where is the Fiesta convertible?
