I vaguely remember it. But I don't think the one you posted was a hardtop convertible.

In any case, here's a '57 Skyliner hardtop convertible...

No, the Packard was a rag top.

We had a family friend who was semi-wealthy and bought a new Dodge every year. In 1956 they bought a Dodge Texan, which I am surprised to learn, only 289 regional models built for and sold to Texans only.

Anyway, it had an under-dash 45 rpm record player that slid out to put a record on. You’d think a player in a car would have a hard time keeping the stylus in its track. What they did was to put so much pressure onto the arm, that after a half-dozen times playing the same record, the record’s grooves were worn out. LOL
