You don't say what type of paint you want, but if it's acrylic lacquer you can get exact match from Bill Hirsch.

And also how much had the chip faded or color shifted. The small paper square isn't much to get a good reference from and they can age quite badly if storage conditions are not good. Even if you have a perfect match to the chip, the car could have faded or shifted and if the new paint based off a chip is used for touchup next to existing paint a mismatch could be very noticeable. Some of the red based colors are very prone to color shifting as they age.

I would prefer so polyurethane paint since my other car a 1965 Olds was painted this way 20 years ago and still looks great.

Are the 55 paint codes available for paint stores to mix?

I have had good success with TCP Global both in matching samples that I have sent them and the quality of their house paint. While they cannot tell you that it is PPG after being in their warehouse and spotting pallet piled three drums high of PPG products and talking to individuals there, I'm certain that it is. Their prices are very nice also.
To determine what type of paint you currently have, go to ID Auto Paint. In addition, I think PPG was the paint supplier then for Packard. They might be able to give TCP a current equivalent formula for the 1995 car colors. Good Luck and keep us updated.

Packard's OEM paint supplier was R-M (Rinshed-Mason), at least from the early 30s thru 1956.

The OEM paint supplier for all V8 Packards was definitely Rinshed-Mason. PPG wasn't such a big player on OEM paints back then... more in glass. A friend of mine who worked at Packard said that Ditzler occasionally supplied some products in a pinch. Again... nitro-cellulose lacquer. Rinshed-Mason supplied Packard with nitro-cellulose lacquer. It seems most folks today are not familiar with either R-M or n-c lacquer... but that was the premium paint of the day. You will notice that the "educational" link does not even mention nitro-cellulose lacquer. As if acrylic was it and all. Which shows how far back the memories go for the folks putting these things together today go. This is how history slowly gets bent in whole new directions it never was. And as I have posted before here, find me an old Packard with nitro-cellulose lacquer that has not worn through or gone to either solid surface rust or extreme lacquer-crackle... and I'll make it shine like new money. Seriously hardy stuff. By the way... the huge R-M plant was just north of the East Grand Blvd. Packard Plant in Detroit. It was located on the Mt. Elliott-Conant tributaries heading north. Huge factory, had a bright orange and black bridge that connected two of the main buildings and overhung the street. Amazing to see and smell at night. Said "R-M RINSHED-MASON" on the sides of the connector bridge and was nicely lit up at night. As you got close to the plant, the aroma of lacquer hung heavy in the air at night. But that was a long time ago...
