Ran across this article in the Mail Online about a trove of rusting classic cars found in a barn in France. As I read the article, I was hoping there would be mention of a Packard, but no. The cars were all foreign. Still fascinating.

take care

Hi Garrett

Not quite, there is one Packard Super Eight cabriolet listed, discussed here:

Still, What an interesting group of cars!

I missed it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Based on the article, it appears the cars are beyond restoration.

"Based on the article, it appears the cars are beyond restoration."

Garrett,

Maybe so for you or me. But, depending on the individual vehicles, there are a number from the "upper echelon" just needing a very expensive restoration thrown at them before they appear at Pebble and elsewhere.
