Kevin:
I have that same sound when I start my '53 Clipper Deluxe, same 327 as your car. It never seems to be any louder and always mostly quiets down once it's warmed up, just a minor bit of that sound remains. Unless someone more knowledgeable weighs in, I doubt if its anything to worry about. We're all so used to new cars having every trace of mechanical din silenced out or deadened, we forget cars then weren't that way. Steve

Here is another example of a 23rd Series Super Eight that would be an excellent choice for a Packard you can enjoy immediately: https://forums.aaca.org/topic/370328-for-sale-%C2%A01950-packard-super-4dr-sedan-series-23-woverdrive-14500-ashland-mo-not-mine-price-reduced-to-13500-january-2022-better-new-photos/#comment-2317074 Unless you have the skills and facilities to perform the restoration work necessary and the time to do so, buying an example such as this is far more cost-effective now. Good luck with your search. Steve

This image was posted on the AACA Forum.
Although this is obviously a staged promotion image for the 1918-1919 Packard Twin-Six Landaulet, it illustrates a genteel social custom of the era, namely "taking the air". Since the horse-drawn carriage days, the upper social classes would dress in their finery, be chauffeured in their elegant carriages through the parks and parkways enjoying the pleasant weather. Of course, it was on view both for their own class and to the envy of those who weren't. When one could afford a $6,000 motorcar then, one wanted others to recognize that.
