Another massive hoard of project cars hits the auction block, including 3 Packards

Found this online and wanted to share. This is the estate auction for the late James Kile. Over 215 vehicles, mostly Chrysler and Studebaker with a few others mixed in. Vehicles are stored at three locations in Indiana and Michigan. The three Packards are 1955 and 1956 400 hardtops and a 1954 Cavalier Sedan. All are pretty rough with the '55 400 so badly rusted that it is probably only scrap metal at this point. The Studebaker collection is really something and probably the largest I have ever seen for this brand. Some really desirable ones, including several Studebaker built carriages from the 1800's, a 1913 Model 25 Touring, a 1950 Champion Convertible and a 1937 hearse with about the creepiest looking dark red interior I've ever seen in a vehicle. Just in time for Halloween! Chryslers are mostly later models from the 1980's and 1990's, but there are a few older models, including a really solid looking '56 Imperial sedan. If you click on the Catalog link at the link below, you can narrow your search by make. A lot of interesting stuff here, including parts. I also like the 1951 Frazer sedan. I spotted one of these in a salvage yard many years ago and was always intrigued by the charging knight hood ornament. If you live in the area, the collection might be worth checking out. But it is too bad that most of them are so rough. It looks like the storage facility they were in did not provide sufficient protection from the elements.https://brightstarauctions.com/listing/studebakerclassics-mi-102222/
