There was a poster some time back that mentioned a Jaguar motor that would retrofit but had no further info as to specifics. If he is still posting maybe there is some info still to be had.

Another poster mentioned a Ford 9 tooth pinion motor could work. I've looked at photos and there are any number of Ford 9 tooth motors but mounting is different than Packard. There would seem to be a possibility of making an adapter plate to relocate screw holes for a few of them. GM also used 9 tooth on some models and that might be another possibility.

If anyone has access to a junkyard with motors already pulled it might be worth a look to see if something is close. Electrical would be different and would need a change. That should be minor details by adding a couple of relays.

As Craig just posted, he had issues with motors failing and being expensive to replace. He has already done the work of adapting a modern universal street rod setup in place of the Packard regulator and motor and added a couple of relays so his car could keep the original switch. If no motor replacement possibilities fall out of the sky a universal route might be an option to get working windows again.
