I would try www.packardinfo.com There's more information there than on the AACA site.

You might also want to join the Packard Club http://www.packardclub.org/ . If you go to the REGIONS link at left side of page you'll see if there are any active local clubs in your area. You might find someone near you with a car like yours, who can offer you help and advice. Clubs are good for that.
I seriously doubt the Chevy windshield is gonna fit, they were two completely different cars. All cars of that era had windshields that looked similar. Chances are that you can find a decent used windshield if you're on a budget. Of course if you have the dough you can get a newly-manufactured one! -
The Chevy windshield theory has been going on for some time. From what I understand, the measurements are the same, but no one knows 100% sure if it would fit.
