Ray Benoy had these Packards and several others stored in an old building he owned in Woodstock, IL with a leaky roof for many years. He moved them to the building that the auction video was shot in about 10 years ago and cleaned them all up, but the damage had already been done. I talked with the guy that towed them to the new building and he said some of them had raccoons living in them at that time of the move. Benoy had been trying to sell them for the last several years and was asking $45,000 for the 400 and $35,000 for the black Patrician. Obviously he didn't have any takers. He does still have a beautiful '55 Caribbean that he restored back in the late '80s. It's too bad that they weren't stored properly.
