Not knowing what you plan to do with the car affects my opinion. The cars were less reliable than their rivals - Cadillac and Imperial. However, before you buy, you should have decided if you like the novel ride quality and the looks of the car over the competition because repairs require specialized knowledge not available outside Packard circles.

Granted the bugs have been worked out over the years to make long term ownership feasible, but if your plan is to put another 100,000 miles on the car and take it to strange and far off places I would opt for something more conventional.

The only thing I don't like about the cars is I've always hated those exaggerated bumper things. The car looks better with them in the trunk.
