Checking brake fluid level in master cylinder?

I have looked in both the owner's manual and service manual for my '52 Packard 200 Deluxe, and cannot find any description of how you gain access to the master cylinder to check the brake fluid level.

Do you literally have to put the car on a hoist, or can you get to the inspection / fill cap on the master cylinder from the interior carpet area. I see no remote reservioir under the hood.
