Conceptually it's the same as the 1941 LeBaron I noted above, though the lines are bent and routed quite differently so I'd suspect the filter was added post-delivery. As long as the filter doesn't have a restrictor in it or the lines and it stays clean, I don't see that it wouldn't work just fine. Of course it's still a bypass filter system because some of the pump output is diverted before it reaches the filter. As I said before, the only Packards with full-flow filtration were the 34-39 Eights (320 ci, 385 ci) and the Twelve.
