Exide made the group 60. My dad had his JC penny in that style. But they quit making that group. I have the battery. 109 bucks I use the walmart battery. Deep cycle.
Napa has the same battery. But a lot more.

Delco also made the Group 60 batteries, they were OEM equipment in Cadillac and I believe Buick in 1955/56.

But which brand would be proper for an authentic restoration?

Per the Packard specifications as shown near the begining of this thread, Packard used two suppliers, Willard and Autolite so either would be correct.

I purchased a Walmart Everstart MAXX-27 PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF SIZE.
Assembled Product Dimensions (L x W x H) 12.00 x 6.80 x 8.90 Inches Admittedly it does not have six individual caps on top but it fits in the battery case very nicely.
