Wow, this sounds amazing. I'm at the complete opposite end of the county though. I would love to see what's there and maybe get my next project. '56 400 maybe? '41 160? I'm drooling.
Some general pictures would be most welcome. -Kevin

Kevin, I would love to help you get your next project, however, unless you can come up with a transport option, you will have to wait. There are 2 56-400s that are in the way, I hope Ross is able to come get one, not sure of the fate of the other, but when a very nice 56-400 driver was advertised in the latest CNB for 13K, that is summary judgment on taking on a project.
As for 41-160's....yeah, there's a bunch. What I might suggest would be the 41-120 sedan that needs the rebuilt engine installed. It is a very very worthy project and you would have nearly the same car as a 160 without anywhere near the cost/effort. It was a decent running/driving car before the engine got yanked for a rebuild. You have already been through so much, no point in jumping into the deep end again.

Dave Flack,
Yes I would think your head must be spinning. I can only guess the owner of the collection may have passed or developed more serious heath problems. I viewed the collection a couple years ago when I bought a S-8 engine from the owner thanks to your contact information. I wish him and you all the best of luck with the disposal. Jim Richardson

What can I say? I'm a glutton for punishment. I haven't gotten the last CNB, so didn't see that 400. As much as I would love to pick up another project, I'm afraid my wife would take some sense into me. I don't have enough space for another car anyways. Plus the cost of shipping across the country. But a nice '41 120? So tempting.... Kevin

Flackmaster, I'm aware of whose collection this is since I live in upstate NY. I assume he has either died or is sick since he has never parted with his cars before. Are you allowing people to look at the cars? My brother-in-law is into MGs and I'm into Packards although I see some nice vehicles from NYS manufacturers also. Can you give more detailed info on the Franklin and Pierce Arrow? George

David,
Very good of you to make PI members the first ones aware of the dispersal of this collection.
