Without knowing the service history of the vehicle, it could be the thing is just plain gummed up. Done with patience, a rebuild certainly wouldn't hurt anything. A carb from a rusty old field car could be a major challenge, though.

The factory shop manual usually has a pretty good instructions for rebuilding the car, but the supplier also provided consices specification sheets. Use this site's Search feature and the keyword carter to find a collection of Carter carb sheets, including one for the WCFB used on the 1953 Packards.

I found these sheets in my dad's old tool box; he was a mechanic in a Packard dealership in the poswar years. I hope others with similar paper for other carb models will donate a scan to help add to the collection.
