If it has the original ignition switch, take it to a locksmith and have them remove the tumbler. The keycode will be stamped into it and you can make your key from that. Max Merritt has original Packard blanks of the proper shapes. The tumbler may need cleaning in order to locate and rear the code but it's right under the edge of the outer lip and on one of mine I had to use a points file across the code to make it readable. Once made, the key should also fit the doors too. Unfortunately, as far as I know, the other locks do not have the keycodes stamped anywhere
