I will put the link for the Summit racing web page and the Wilwood page. It would seem that as per the Wilwood site they have many different years and models covered. Summit only shows one kit though. I spoke to the Summit tech department about the kits and from what they said it will fit the car as long as the assembly will fit the used wheel. I would venture a guess that an 11 inch rotor and caliper would work just fine with a 15 inch rim. My guess is Packard brakes must be similar to another make and model in order make a kit like this Profitable to Wilwood as Packard owners are a pretty small percentage of the population especially ones who would consider an aftermarket disk brake kit. Unless I hear otherwise I will pick up the kit and see how it all works out but I am still several month away from that stage of my project.http://www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/BrakeKitAdvisor.aspx?year=&make=Packard&model=110+Six&option=http://www.summitracing.com/parts/wil-140-12724/overview/
