Modern Fluids??

Gentleman (and ladies too) of all knowing Packard Land,
This is my first topic on the website, and only my second time posting so go easy on me if this has been written before. :) I have just got my 51' "300" going for the first time in almost 20yrs. I would now like to change ALL fluids on this vehicle but I am not able to locate a single go to chart that will tell me what the best modern day fluids would be for my application. What I am looking for is.....
1) Oil type
2) Brake fluid type
3) Coolant type (straight or 50/50 mix)
4) Transmission fluid type

Let me know if I am missing anything and thanks all in advance for your extensive knowledge. This website has taken me from "0" Packard knowledge to having a pretty good idea of what I am doing now.
