Strictly speaking, only the Caribbeans came with the dual 4-bbls. The statement is often made that Packard would have done anything to make a sale, there may be some truth to this but I think the more realistic answer is that non-Caribbean models with dual 4-bbls were conversions gladly done by dealers at the point of sale, or thereafter.

I didn't take the time to consult Brian's excellent RPO (regular production order) codes, but as I remember, there is no code for dual 4-bbls on any model other than the Caribbeans.
