For what it's worth, here's a link to an ad for Packard's ignoble last dying gasp:

That poor old chestnut has been for sale on and off for most of two decades, it just gets more weathered every time the advertisement appears.  Pretty much a parts car.

No super charger? I'm out!

After 2 decades the seller should soon get the idea nobody wants it. Pull the taillight assemblies, sell em to the customizer guys and scrap the rest of the car.

Still, if you had to replicate all of that patina, you'd be at it for years. Not that I give a dam about patina, mind you.

Sad truth is he should part it out, sell the items that are unique to the '58 Packard sedan, hardtop and station wagon such as the front clip, instrument panel, interior trim, fins, side trim, taillights.  Only '58 Packard Hawk came standard with the supercharger.   Not unlikely this car has an extremely rusty frame which is beyond a feasible restoration.
