That 1940 looks like a good start. These bodies in my opinion are kind of pedestrian and usual for the time, but the front clip with that extra Packard length, impressive grille and dual sidemounts really make this a special car, in my opinion.
$5000 is right on the high edge of what I would pay for a restoration start, but overall if I had $5000 I would go for it.

Here's a possible opportunity for someone:
govliquidation.com/ 21131 - Classic Vehicles @ Auburn Airpark, CA They have not indicated if anyone has bid on these cars, but if I was retired I would at least go for the Model T or the Model A. There is a Packard in there. I don't know where these cars came from but I can see some big collections going into this block if the government needs money and starts to enforce the tax code.

Hi Tim
Thanks for digging this one out, not the usual type of car found at government surplus auctions, specifically: govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=8434524&convertTo=USD Odd choice of color, that turquoise looks more like what they painted 23rd Series cars. The door jams show a light gray which looks more authentic.....and more appropriate! Interior appears extremely nice. The description notes it was sold new in Salinas, CA, likely a solid, rust-free example. Steve

No pictures, high priced and most likely a junior 38 convertible sedan:

That last Patrician is sad but it is in that copper color I love and has some signs that it was lower mileage and is probably restorable. 1. Stated it runs. 2. Exhaust sections of rear bumper and rear bumper are pretty nice, indicating lower mileage? and easy storage. 3. Interior shots show original upholstery and dash in decent shape. I think it's a decent $1000 project car owing to it being a 56 last year car. Of course one would be way ahead getting the $15,000 green and white one in Oklahoma for $13,000 all in.
