While watching "Hollywoodland" today on Cinemax (free on DirecTV June 18-20), at 1hr11min in during the funeral scene, a 55 Packard Caribbean convertible (white on top with blue stripe and dark gray below) was prominent in the background.

"Hollywoodland" is a movie starring Ben Afleck about the life and death of George Reeves of Superman-TV fame. It's a pretty good movie and since the time era is late 1940s thru 1959, there are many good period cars in the sets, but that is the only Packard I saw. There are some Studebakers and Hudsons and of course the obligatory Fords and Chevies.
