yes its a "boneyard" so no museum cars,but tons of straight rust free sheet metal,and mechanical parts,trim etc.In the building is full of real nice parts engines etc,how much of that is in auction ,I am not sure,but I understand everything goes

just a note: I counted around 20 Packards and many body parts ,dry cold area and cars are very solid,lots of 1937-1940 and parts,anyone have any idea to save some of this stuff ? I am well equipped with trucks trailers and storage no problem.

Packard bone yard is up for auction aug 27th in Neepawa Manitoba Canada ,GORDON VINCENT owner,MEYERS auctions,I showed pics that I took last year and many comments on the Packard parts and cars,maybe you can check my other post to see pics,i live 30 minutes away and will be there if anyone really wants something ,I could buy it as I am sure much will go to the crusher,there are so many parts not shown too.....my email is automotivearc@hotmail.com ph. 204-761-0672

thanks for the offer joey....hope things go that way

He did tell me he is 75 years old,I will visit him again and maybe get to see what he has in the building,he mentioned that it is full of the good stuff,and Packards was what he was talking about too.I did notice piles of nice parts that appear to be earlier 30s Packard,nice rust free body parts and doors etc.This part of Canada is dry and cars are quite good as far as rust to a point for cars sitting outside,many have great bodies and little to no rust in floors etc.I will mention this site and see if he is willing to actually sell items,also if he is interested,I will do pics of each car as best I can with data plates,or maybe he would be willing to do so.I did notice all the cars had the plates,I am sure none of the cars would have any kind of tittle,making it hard for a US buyer,but there are ways around that too.One good thing is that he liked that I took intrest in packards and near the end of my visit he was interested in helping me with what I needed for my coupe.

well...we have all seen different places and situations,I have hunted for classics since I was 16 ,when I was 18 some 35 years ago I remember him around,he had a sign business ,mostly painting store front windows,christmas scenes with old cars[the cars were packards in scenes],cartoon characters,he is an amazing artist,I remember him driving a nice black Packard a few times[I didn't ever see him drive the 40 coupe in pic with vintage plate],my business partner used to use him to paint windows for different seasons at 4 mc Donalds locations,I used to buy many California classic and drive them home in the early 90s,one trip I remember driving back east of Billings Montana and passing him towing a nice green Packard with his van with sign business name on it.I did also visit his old place less than a mile from where he has cars now back in the 80s-early 90s,he had 100s of cars and 32 fords 34 ford coupes,the rare stuff that is so hard to find,he had lots,and tons of rare Packards,I heard at a car show that he could find them easy by using his airplane,flying over farms and spotting any old car easily,I heard he sold lots of cars and parts,not sure what kind of car shop he had,then I saw the old place was gone years ago when driving by,then a few days ago I drove down a side road near his old location and there he is now,big building with a sign business in the front,I stopped by-saw 4 nice Packard doors right in the office entrance, ,he seems to be more modern with computer cut decal signs now,we chatted and he was not to eager to show me,then he saw that he could trust me and was great,spent 1.5 hours showing me cars,he said he didn't want to sell any packards,but near the end,said he would trade me cars/parts and sell me the nice 40 coupe

that's what I was thinking,I will check it out closer next trip,body is quite good from the windshield back,I still want to see whats in the building first,I don't know how many other packards there were ,so many doors and parts from them in the yard besides the whole cars

Its a real decent car,I think he would sell the whole car,I wouldn't mind the 4 door with the white cut coupe roof sitting on it,would make a nice street rod[since the car is rough and its not feasible to restore it]......I do know of another place that has quite a few 50s packards,I will have to stop by and get some pics there too,packards were more common around here in the 50s

those alberta antique auto plates with the 1 in front came out in 1975.......so I guess that car could have sat 40 years

ya,that is a 40 coupe,looks like it was on the road 10-20 years ago,actually quite a decent car to look at
