Took the Packard for a nice ride on Sunday. She started right up and performed flawlessly! I was out for about 45 minutes.
Parked it in the driveway to let her cool down before putting her away. When I went to re-start her the engine would barely turn over and it seemed the battery was almost dead.
The starter barely turning the engine over sound to me a lot like "heat soak". It could also be a bad starter relay or bad starter. When the relay on my '51 went bad, I had much the same symptoms, including the "sparking" in hooking up a charger. Relays on a '51 are cheap - I don't know what they would be for yours; but I offer it as a thought.
Good luck,
