Mechanical parts should not be too hard to come by for most things. You didn't say which engine but the senior 356 engine parts and senior trim might be the hardest and most expensive to acquire. If you can provide a vehicle number off the Left cowl and motor number off the block above & to rear of distributor, will help narrow down what you have and any problems. Should be one of the more plentiful Packards in various parts yards though.

Other than the Electromatic clutch option being a bit of a PIA to set up & keep adjusted properly, nothing comes to mind as to issues. If you have the option, most just turn it off and admire how it looks.

There are some real experts on the 48-50's here so help will be readily available.
