In the early 90's, the grandson of the original owner was advertising and selling the remaining stock of NOS parts from the dealership under the name of University Motors. I bought a number of these parts and picked up some of them directly when on my way to pick up a 1956 Packard 400 from Wesley Sylvester in Ottawa, Kansas. The Grandsons name was Doug Barland and he showed me some cars that were left from his grandfathers estate, including a very rusty 1956 400. These could very well be the same cars mentioned by Nick. Details are a bit fuzzy now but I do recall that the cars were stored in a private yard.
