If I understand correctly, the Packard Service Bulletin (55T-27) advices reinforcements to the frame and Torsion Level device when towing more than 500 lbs. So, a solution with a trailer would be difficult as the trailer quite surely would become heavier than this
I read the TSB and what it refers to is the tongue weight or the "draw bar vertical load" as it is in the TSB -- the entire weight of the trailer would be less than 453Kg or 1000 pounds (including your chair) and your tongue weight would usually be 10% to 15% of total weight so your actual vertical load would be 45-68Kg or 100-150 pounds --- the Packard is fine carrying 181Kg or 400 pounds in the trunk so i really think you would be fine there --- now about the parking spot, i hope you can find a place to keep your Packard and also if you do indeed go with a trailer remember that you will have to store this somewhere as well, in an apartment thats always an issue --- good luck with everything my friend!!
