I hope this link to a NY Times article about the selling off of the city's vehicle collection works.

Worked for me (after staring at a blank page where an ad would be). Wonder how many Packards are in the collection or is that legacy preserved only by the rundown factory buildings.

Howard, yes I had the same experience, but eventually the article opened. Don't know how many Packards are in the collection, but I saw one photo of a 22nd or 23rd series Packard with a sock over the wings of the hood ornament. It is a common, but not publicized practice, for museums to sell some from their collections after the agreed upon time with the donor has expired. Selling the whole collection is another matter.

Those cars will stay right where they are.

Come to the 2013 PAC National Meet and we can explain it to you.
