[Chrysler300] guess who nearly owned Mercedes in US who now own Chrysler?

["christopher beilby" <thelastbestgenius@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Me again, sorry to be here again, but maybe this time this might interest 
some who did not know this already?

The other day I mentioned how the late 50s Studebaker Packard merger failed 
- this following latest comment that GM might be looking at acquiring 
Chrysler. I made comment that the merger did not really help the two now 
more cash strapped once outstanding companies, this subsequent to website 
comment that GM today were not too flush, and how could they consider buying 
Chrysler?

Well tonight as I go to pay for an ebay Packard advertisement a friend I 
will be seeing this weekend has been chasing, before paying, I search if any 
possible other Packard ads he still chasing might be combined in already 
paying for shipping - and up comes a 1958 Studebaker Packard advertisement.

To those of you saying this is a Chrysler 300 website, what this about, here 
is the connection - the 1958 Stude Packard ad is for a 1958 Mercedes 
sedan!!! - because they (Stude Pack) had the US Distribution rights for USA 
- in the ad they say Exclusive rights - that was what this ad is about.

So I leave working out all the possible ironies/scenarios if Stude Pack had 
NOT gone broke - like maybe they would/might now co-own Chrysler ??!! - but 
it seems even though they were in trouble, Stude Pack still had some clear 
thinking car people even then - what would US rights for Merc sales in US be 
worth today?

Anyone in the US add anything more re what happened re MB in US after 
StudePack failed? Whatever it was, it did not put MB off buying Chrysler 
years later.

Christopher.
