I don't think you will find anything made for any other car that will fit. I would also be very cautious of buying used radiators because they could be in just as bad a shape as yours.

There were a couple off the shelf radiators that others found -- for V8s at least -- that come close as far as hose locations but the size was not quite the same and both required extensive fabrication to mounts to be able to bolt in. I believe the consensus is that for any Packard radiator it will need a trip to a radiator shop and having a new core installed using the old tanks and mount.
