Do Pack 120's require higher octane gas?

Home away from home

Do Pre-War Packard 120's require higher octane gas? Or do they run OK on 87?

kind regards

My 39 120 runs fine on 87 octane, but I prefer to use Premium since it doesn't have the nasty Ethanol in in. (at least at certain Exxon and others in MT).
