There are at least 2 suppliers who make a replacement filter for your car, both are externally identical to the original Purolator but internally use a modern spin-on cartridge type filter. Burr Ripley is one vendor, the other is R&A Engineering, they both advertise in all the usual places, Hemmings, The Packard Club, etc. Here's the info one 1 from the Yellow Pages on The Packard Club website. Many folks use Burr's filter so you can have confidence in his products.

And BTW, an 845 is a magnificent piece of Packard machinery, best of luck and much future enjoyment with it.
