DidierF ◊ 2015-09-29 23:11	How long was it a brand?
Lateef ◊ 2015-09-29 23:14	For 1960 and 1961.
DidierF ◊ 2015-09-29 23:24	Quite short-lived. Do we have other exemples of so short-lived or maybe shorter lived brands of a big makes?

Commander 57 ◊ 2015-09-30 00:26	I guess you could argue the record was set by Clipper. A separate make for only the first part of 1956, then became a model of Packard for the balance of the model year. We have debated the "Packard Clipper"/"Clipper" issue at some length before. -- Last edit: 2015-09-30 00:26:34
