I am the contact for our local Packard club region. A man called me about two Packards and a bunch of parts that his late father had stored 30 years ago in an a old garage on their property in eastern Colorado. The building was falling apart and they asked me to come and take a look before they started to haul stuff away. Some of you know the type of phone call.
I drove an hour out on the prairie and found their place. The garage was certainly in poor shape but the holes in the roof let in lots of light so I didn't have to use a flashlight. I was greeted by two cars completely buried under parts and other junk. Check out the picture below, somewhere hidden in the picture are two sad Packards, a 53 Clipper and maybe a 54 Clipper. I told them that unfortunately these are not desirable cars especially in their current forlorn condition.
There were a couple of Packard engine blocks and two Ford flathead engines, some rear window glass, some rear ends, bumpers and other parts. And old tires...lots of old tires! Nothing that anyone is going to buy and pay to ship anywhere.
After an hour, I had about given up when he showed me a flat crate leaning in the corner. I cut the covering open and paydirt! The crate contained two brand new 356 heads! How these got in there with all the other junk, no one knows. Shipping a Packard head is going to cost plenty but where else are you going to find such a thing.
I told the man that he should try to uncover the cars (and get rid of the tires!) and I would come back and see if any other saleable parts might be hidden in there but at least the 356 heads won't end up in the scrap yard.

At least convince the guy to sell the cars on FB instead of scrapping them, please...

Very nice find though.

They will eventually try to sell the cars but they had no idea what years/models they were or if they were worth anything.
I didn't want them to think that these models were worth thousands of dollars. You know how that conversation goes, the father justified owning these old cars by saying that they are rare and worth a fortune.
Here's another photo of "hidden cars".

That is a lot of stuff. It will be a monumental task getting that all cleared out and disposed of.

If the stuff has value enough to haul to the Ohio area I know a guy who might want it. Just send me a DM if this stuff has half-decent value and you need help getting rid of it. I think we could work something out.

One benefit of the location is it is a very low humidity area. Without the moisture, rust blossoms slowly and even potmetal keeps surprisingly well. This collection shouldn't be dismissed for scrap until its investigated for what is contains that's worthwhile.

Based on the front windshield, that car looks like a 1953-54.
