I'm really, really wondering if this isn't a car I knew of in the 1970s that originally belonged to a member of Earle C. Anthony Region of PAC. Straight as an arrow. It is obvious that somebody mast have taken good care of this Packard for a long, long time... only to come to this.

Makes me very sad to see a car that rolled out of the Conner Avenue Packard Plant in Detroit so very long ago... having survived all these years. And now? Un-loved like this and set to be dismembered.

One thing I know for sure... people in SoCal refer to cars as "rusty".... when many of them have never seen real RUST. A car left sitting out like this in Ohio would have the headlights falling out of the fenders. Look at those front fender ends... rock hard.

Rub out that lacquer with polishing compound... replace the missing skirts, put a decent set of wheels and whitewalls on this car and it could likely be a stunner.
