Never had a lock where a good locksmith couldn’t rebuild and re-key it as needed. Just be sure to use the trunk lock rather than the glove box lock as those in the glove box may have fewer tumblers. I don’t know if it applies to Packards or not but on my 1965 Imperial LeBaron, I had lost the trunk key so it seemed easy to remove the glove box lock and have it keyed. I did that but it needed more cuts to work in the trunk. It was about then that my father reminded me to push the button in the glove box to open the trunk. I had forgotten that it has an electric release!
