One can't tell for certain from this picture, but it looks like it may still have the Packard tranny in it by the apparent rearward position of the shifter tower.
I hope that hot-linking this picute from their site is not a problem.

Are you looking for a White? or a Duesenberg. I can't quite tell with that response. I might have a lead on a White.

The tranny in J-528 was a Clark.

J-528, the black Riviera Phaeton John O'Quinn has now, had one in the 1950s, installed by a group of talented young mechanics at Irwin's Tire Service in Huntington, W.V. (I drive by its former location every time I go to the movies, and every time wish it was 50 years earlier.) One of those mechanics told me that the finished car, with additional engine modifications, went 140 mph over the measured mile on a straight stretch of road.
Rick Carroll undid all the mods and put in a real Duesy tranny in the 1980s.
