Oof.... That's like a 4 hour drive for me, each way. I don't see that being a possibility for me between work and family. Sorry, wish I could help more

I get the sense that the OP is not on the same location as the car. And it seems like the owner of the car is not able to provide all the information.

Sorry, been battling with a reset of the password. I live in Edmonds, Wa, but the owner of the car is in Port Townsend. I've just been sending out feelers here, to see what others think, and see if advice is applicable. The owner is far from ignorant of what he has, or the quality of the rebuild he has done. He never wanted concourse. He wanted new car. His choice of color is what he researched as a standard Packard color scheme. He's an retired engineer, so his OCD I take for granted. I only have the one picture. I'm sure there would be Pebble Beachers looking down their noses at it for some microscopic detail of overkill missed. He sent parts out to the right people for restoration and painting, frame up. It runs and drives. Just the upholstery needs to be finished. He's just too old now, to finish the job. Which is why, I was hoping someone in the area might have advice or know someone.

There are definitely more Packard guys on the west side of the mountains. I'm in Ellensburg in the middle of the state, and to my knowledge there are only two Packard owners within 75 miles of me. But for sure there are more around your area. The PNW region of the Packard Club would be a good place to check in. I don't think many of those members are on this forum. So I would recommend reaching out to them to see who is close to the car and can take a look. Who knows, maybe one of them is interested in it? Really a unique car, and I personally like the body style. If I wasn't so far away I'd love to see it in person.
