Two thoughts come to mind.

We had a Packard dealer in Savannah, GA, dad purchased a 23rd series new that was my car maybe ten years later, still later I had a couple of 55's when they were just used cars and not collectable, but in our coastal area and I suppose other parts of the south, rust was more of a problem than in some dry western climates, maybe they just didn't survive as well in the south.

Over the years as Packard's became more collectable, perhaps incomes were higher in certain areas of the country allowing more old cars to be saved and collected in those area. I find the same result, I almost never see a for sale advertisement that is not from a far distance away from the south.

Nothing to prove those thoughts, just an opinion.
