Give Moores a try for the jack. I know they had a lot of the late 40's
cars. I think their website is listed on the club.

I recently used a 2 Ton floor jack in conjunction
with a 6 ton bottle jack on the other side to put new tires on my 1948 Crown
Imperial Limo. I obviously blocked the load as well after the front end
was up but both jacks were in place for several days in a row while freeing up
the brake drums and loosening anchor bolts and not once did the jacks not
hold. I had about a 1/2 inch between the undercarriage and the blocks
and it held all the way through.
The one original equipment item I
don't have is the bumper jack. It's always a little touchy but it does
allow for the wheels to be removed and put on. I had to use hydraulic
jacks on the frame to put on the new back tires. THEY ARE HUGE!
(980x15) They are larger than my Dodge Ram pickup tires! For the
sake of authenticity I'd like to locate an original equipment bumper
jack. Any feedback on that would be greatly
appreciated!
