WRT to the A/C document:

...I know of at least 4 originals.
I haven't really shopped much for Packard literature in recent years, but compared to original editions of shop manuals, parts books, and service bulletins that I've seen, I'd say that particular piece of A/C material is comparatively rare.

Looking at general service bulletin 55GS-7, Dealer 5, dated May 26, 1955; it says that one copy of the service manual was mailed to the dealers, and the body, air conditioning and accessories sections will be mailed in the near future.
55GS-12, dated August 16, 1955; the three supplements to the service manual are attached.
A/C was not very common on these cars, and most accessories came with instructions, but I dunno how they got by for so long without a Body section.
Meanwhile, I have a set of original GSBs dating back to 1952 and hope to be scanning them for
PackardInfo in the months ahead.

WOW how would you like to been a Packard tech in 55!
My dad was a mechanic at a Packard dealership - on and off, from 1946 through 1956. However, the span was interrupted for a few years when he and his (late) brother ran a service station in their hometown and then for a couple of years when he served in the Army (motor pool, of course). The dealer kept in touch with him all the while that he was in the service - always asking when he was coming back to work for them.
