I am kind of curious why Packard had both vented and non vented tanks and if that was during the entire 51-6 period or just in the 56 V8s.

Doubt it was due to different suppliers since they could have spec'd one or the other so maybe one turned out to be a few cents less when the tanks were reordered. Maybe vented caps were hard to come by in some areas or was it something needed in certain areas. Perhaps they could have been thinking ahead about revising the fuel delivery because of increasing smog rules or maybe doing something with the experimental fuel injection program.

Another of those probably never to be known mysteries.
