Side Tracked by a '51 Packard

Hi Everyone,

I'm a recent "joiner" of this site and my previous postings have been about my search for a 55-56 Patrician or 400.
Well many things happen while looking all over and sometimes we trip over something right in front of us.
The upshot of all that is that I've stumbled across a '51 Packard 200 Deluxe Touring Sedan practically in my own back yard.
My question is how easy is it to get replacement items for a 6 volt system: Bulbs, batteries, voltage regulators etc.?
I'm really taken with the simple elegance of the car and am seriously considering going for it IF I'm not going to have to find a time machine to get parts. I notice there are a lot of pre-V8 Packard owners here so I figure I've come to the right place.
Any help/advice would be really appreciated.
