1949 2262 Died On Me

Hello everyone.
Brand new Packard owner here, so forgive me if I'm asking something that everybody knows the answer to.
I went and picked up a 1949 2262 Deluxe Eight Touring Sedan. While driving it home, it began to sputter and starve for fuel. The gas gauge read 3/4 of a tank, but it just wouldn't start. My wife picked me up and we went and got a 5 gallon gas can, filled it up, and went back and poured it in the Packard. I turned on the electric fuel pump - the original fuel pump is also in line with the carburetor - put a little gas in the carburetor, and it started right up. After about 30 miles, it did the same thing, but I was able to pull it into a gas station before it died again completely. After repeating the same procedure, I was on the road again. I was making a turn to the left to get on the main Highway that would take me to the house, and it just died. Even though it is full of fuel, and I have spark, it will not start.
My son is on the way with his car hauler trailer and pick up to take me the rest of the way home. I really would have loved to driven it all the way back, which wasn't too far in total, but it wasn't to be.
If anyone has any ideas as to what I should look for once I get it home, I would sure appreciate it.
