It looks like the glove box door has been modified with a cigar lighter socket, an auxiliary ashtray, and a clock from left to right. These additions are very neatly done but they must have reduced the storage area in the box considerably.

The car most certainly has a heater. The heater core tubes are visible protruding from the firewall. One of the tubes is near the bend of the red heater bypass hose; the other is visible just on the sunny side of the sun/shadow line. Undoubtedly the core sprung a leak so the decision was made to bypass the heater core rather than fix it. The heaters Packard used were actually Delco units with round heater cores, so they are found on GM vehicles and probably some other makes as well.
