This was just posted to Facebook Marketplace last night. Car is located in New Jersey. This is what happens when someone buys more cars than they can handle and does not have enough storage space. This poor car, which appears to have been an outstanding original, was left outdoors for an extended period of time (looks like several years) under a plastic tarp. Now, it is badly deteriorated. Any longer and it will be unsalvageable. Makes me want to cry. I really love these prewar Junior convertibles.

The collector had cars strewn all over his yard. The Packard was behind the garage sunk into the ground up to its axles. This was a triple black, original paint and interior car that was now half rusted into the earth. It was ruined. I happened to look in the garage and there sitting nice and dry was the owner's 1980's Olds Cutlass Calais. Go figure. The guy was now selling his cars because of declining health, and I was actually talking to his son. Dad was now in a nursing home. I tried to tell the son that his dad had ruined the cars by leaving them outside for so many years, but he didn't want to hear it. He was stuck on the values listed in a popular price guide and kept insisting that the cars only really needed minor work and were worth far more than they really were in their current state.
