Thank you, JD.

Unfortunatey, the engine number (well, and license plate) is all I have. It seems at that tme California was using engine numbers for titles. The description mentioning the South Wind is from the fourth page (and only page we have) of a letter to Packard, so I doubt he would have misstated, but who knows? Is an electronic clutch an automatic? Nowadays it would be Formula One paddles. Was the overdrive electronic? How did that work with an automatic?

Did Packard keep records which are now available which I could search for further information?

My mother describes the car as being "beige."
