Would a Packard that was really a rebadged Studebaker be considered an orphan car?
The following would be a fun car in 1/48 scale for a transition era layout -- or, just as a conversation piece on the layout - Sort of makes the 1958 Edsel look attractive by comparison! 
1957
1957 Studebaker-Packard Clipper
Packard’s were known on the street as Packardbaker’s
what they were was a re-designed Studebaker with a combination of components
only two models are offered now, the Clipper and a Country Sedan station wagon
plans to produce a new “true” Packard never materialized and the revered name lost it’s luster
Cost: $3,212.00
