Grandson of Packard owner requesting help in locating his grandfather's car

Please see the attached photos. This car was formerly owned by Al McGarra of Connecticut, a long-time member of the former Eastern Packard Club. The car is a 1941 180 Model 1908. This car had factory air conditioning. It was sold sometime around 1991 after Mr. McGarra's passing. If you know the current whereabouts of this car, please send me a PM and I will pass the information onto the grandson. He is interested in finding the car and possibly purchasing it if available. Any help will be appreciated.
I remember this car when I was in the EPC. One day back in the 1980's, I was volunteering at a car show. It was near 100 degrees, and I was really sweltering. Mr. McGarra pulled up in the 180 and rolled down the window. I'll never forget being immediately hit with a blast of cold air. That unit really worked! First time I had ever seen a Packard with factory air.
