Any reports???

Nope, it's still out there. I just punted the info since I am no longer seeking it since Packard is up for sale. If anyone is interested they can contact Bendtsens for further updates.

235's will work but you have to put them on car before inflating them to clear rear fender. I am running 225's on 56 Executive with no problem with clearance and am happy with them, just a bit shorter in height than bias.

Latest news from Bendtsens

We expect to have the Packard V8 kits ready to ship later this month.
They will allow you to install a Chev 700R4, 350th, 2004R, 4L80E,or 400th trans onto the Packard V8. Possibly even a late model stick trans.

Just listed on ebay. Have never seen one with continental kit before. How rare?

Thanks for the title info. Just checked mine for my 56 Exec H/T and it is #905 of 1031 built. Close to end of production line.
