*Update*
http://blog.hemmings.com/ Scroll down on that page.. Barland died in December 2004, but the city of Lawrence didn't become concerned about the property until a couple of years ago, when city officials discovered more than a dozen Packards among the junk and scrap metal on the property. The city began to lean on Barland's family to clean up the property in March of this year, which has led the family to put the Packards up for auction. The 15 Packards listed in the auction range in date from 1950 to 1956 (no Packardbakers here!) and are offered in non-running condition, but appear not to have suffered from scavengers or hood ornament harvesters over the decades see link for details on the 15 Packard autos being offered-- http://kansasauctions.net/elston/05/26.php Seller: Raymond F.

The auction is getting some publicity, like this recent article. If there were some 22nd/23rd Series Custom parts cars, I'd go.

A little (very little) information on the auction results here and here. Looks like a few found new homes.
