....any prewar car, Packard or other make, will probably require some kind of suspension modifications to suppress high speed.body roll at speeds much above 45mph

Major high speed highways, especially Interstates, don't ordinarily have sharp or unbanked turns, at least not without forewarning, so I'd think suspension modifications are unneeded though as implied above, the suspension which of course includes shock absorbers, sway bars, lateral rear sway bar for those models that have it, should be in good condition. These cars, when new, crossed the country back and forth with regularity on highways that were for the most part far less forgiving than those of today.
