I have never seen this mentioned anywhere. I think the only other mfgs to use the V8 was Studebaker, Nash and Hudson and that was only for around a year. S-P management decided to use a 352 and the Ultramatic in the 56 Golden Hawk and AMC bought the 55 320 and Ultramatic for use in a few of their higher end Nash and Hudson models before their own V8 was ready.

I believe RR did copy or maybe build under license the prewar Safe-T-Flex front suspension and used that for a few years. That is the only significant automotive item designed by Packard that I have ever read about them using.
