There must be shocks on the car! The Delco hydraulic shocks form the upper control arms of the suspension. They are almost certainly worn out low on fluid or dry. You can refill them with hydraulic oil or motorcycle fork oil by removing a small plug located on the top of each one. This may help get you some shock action. They can be rebuilt but it isn't a job for a DIY'er. I could send you a photo but instead why not search the manuals online here and you will find almost everything you will need to know about your Packard. there is a 46-50 service manual you can download for free.
