Here is the official Packard dimensions. Wheelbase is 127" center to center and length is 218 1/2". Figure car is a little over 18 1/4 ft long & 6 1/2 ft wide
Measuring my 56, if you wanted to add a chock front and rear in addition to the chains you would need a flat floor surface of about 155 inches or slightly under 13 ft. You would have about a 3 foot hang over past the wheels on each end.
Don't forget about opening the door to get out if you drive it on. Lots of trailers have a cover over the wheels about where the door has to open. Assuming the car is at normal height and is level, it can't be any higher than about 9" to allow the door to open -- less would be better.
