Yes, it is accurate. I believe the author of the article [[AJB) said the two floor plans [[one pre-war and the other during the war) came from a report to the stockholders. So the floor plans do show that there were two directions to the line.
In our second posting [[1/31/2011) you thought that one line is probably for cars being sent back to the paint shop for touch ups. That could be the case, but I would suggest to you a more likely alternative. Packard had two lines of cars; the senior line - bigger engines and more custom options and the junior line - 6 cylinder or small 8 cylinder engines and less frills. Kind of like Chevrolet and Cadillac. It may be the 2 lines are for the 2 models - senior line and junior line. but I will look into this more.
