If this car did indeed come from the factory that way I would hope that someone does not change it. I also work on English Motorcycles and there are many "Peter Parts Book" folks out there who go by the parts books for motorcycles made in the late 40's into the early 60's who change vehicles to match the parts book, which in many cases were produced after the fact and did not take into account running changes and special orders. I know of one Norton Motorcycle that was purchased directly from the factory and it has many unusual features that are not in the parts book.

People assume that many factories did not do special orders but I think in 1956 Packard would do anything within reason if you were willing to pay for it.

YMMV,
