Whether people understand the speed limitations or not driving an old car at 45-50 will hold traffic up on modern highways and cause frustration and possibly occasional fits of road rage with other drivers on the road. Ask me how I know 
. Outfitting the Packard with O/D or higher ratio differential to gain a higher cruising speed will help with what you are trying to achieve but as O_D advised the safe limitations of the brakes, steering and lighting will be exceeded and the possibility of an accident will increase. The best possible solution is to pull to the side of the road when safe to do so to allow faster traffic to pass and use less travelled routes where possible.
