I was having this issue with my 1951 Packard when after driving around for a while and went to the store. I went back out and it wouldn't start back up so I had to do the same thing just let it sit then after some coaxing then it started back up.
I ended up doing a check on the battery cables and found that the resistance on the wires were much too high. I changed them out and haven't had the problem since. It would be worth a check, the engine even cranks over much quicker than before.
