Are there production figures for 1955-1956 Packards with manual transmissions?

I'm curious about this, since almost every '55-'56 Packard I've ever seen/read about has an Ultramatic.

And on the subject of transmissions, why did some Packard clubs (or a Packard club) 'approve' swapping a Torqueflite for an Ultramatic? Were they THAT hard to have rebuilt or fixed at one time?
