Surprised to see a paper filter on a 1953 car. My recollection is they did not appear until several years later.

This is confirmed by a mid sixties parts catalog. It lists various parts back to the forties but the oldest air filter elements are 1957. It does not show any Packard filters at all.

Could your filter be from a late 50s car that happened to share the same model of carburetor?
