Couple of new ones I spotted today on FB:

1937 115C Touring Sedan. Barn Find, needs everything. Car located in Indiana. Data plate shows that the car was originally sold by the John J. Scanlon agency of Meriden, Connecticut. This was my hometown growing up, so I was pretty excited to see this. In 1953, Scanlon's gave up its Packard franchise and switched to Chrysler-Plymouth. They later moved to another location in town and the building became the site of a Chevrolet dealership. It was torn down in the 1960's and today, the location is the site of a city park. I once did some research on John J. Scanlon and he was an interesting guy. A real "pillar of the community" type, he was active in a number of civic organizations and served as Meriden's postmaster for many years (the town post office was located just blocks from the dealership). Scanlon passed away in 1956.https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/663219742543363/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post


1954 Pacific: Nice restoration, recent engine rebuild:https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/998723994757937/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post

Rough 1952 200 Sedan in NY:https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/816694576614812/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post

Very rough 1956 400, also in NY. NY state inspection sticker from 1972 indicates last time it was on the road; car looks like it has been sitting outside ever since. Windshield knocked out. Probably just a parts car at this point. Interior is totally trashed, though the sheet metal actually does not appear to be that bad:https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/190965527389962/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post
