Big cache of Packard parts cars located in southwestern New York State near the city of Binghamton. All are parts cars in varying conditions and have been stored outside for probably decades. Some are sunk in the ground up to their axles. Here is what I am seeing in the photos:

1938 Super Eight Sedan. Body cut off behind windshield. Has dual side mount fenders

Two 1946-1947 Clippers. One is a six-cylinder sedan with an intact engine and the other appears to be a long wheelbase model

Several bathtub era cars. I'm counting at least six cars. One is a very rare 22nd Series Custom Eight Club sedan and there is another Club Sedan which is either a Standard or a Deluxe Eight. There is also a 22nd Series Custom Eight sedan.

One 1951-52 Patrician and a second Patrician which appears to be a 1953 model.

One 1951 200 Sedan

Seller has some other cars strewn about the yard. I see a 1946-47 Ford sedan (very rough) and some old trucks.

Might be worth a look if you live in the area and need parts for your project.

This car is located in Georgia:

1956 Caribbean convertible. Very rough car, not sure if it is even restorable. Years of outdoor storage have certainly taken its toll. Car is totally trashed, but may still yield some good parts. Seller asking $1,500:

Actually, look pretty good for the price. Some authentic spider web

Tempting, especially the one with factory A/C but no room for more cars.

This looks to me like a 1955 Caribbean with a set of 1956 fenders on the front. That's a 1955 hood and deck lid, and it has the smaller 1955 clock on the dash, plus a non-pushbutton Twin Ultramatic selector. Also, from what's left of the paint and trim, it looks like a 1955-only code MUH -- White Jade / Rose Quartz / Gray Pearl combination.

Really not a lot left for $1,500. A lot depends on what's left (if anything) of the dual quad intake, carbs and air cleaner. Otherwise, all you could do is take the shorter convertible deck lid, the convertible top frame, see if anything is left of the antenna bodies and motors in the trunk, and then send the rest off to meet God. Even the front of the hood is rusted through. Such a shame...

Just spotted these today:

1946 Clipper Super Eight LWB sedan and a 1949 (22nd series) Super Eight LWB sedan. Bodies look pretty solid on both cars, but interiors are trashed which would probably make restoration prohibitively expensive. Neither car runs and it appears they have been in storage for many years. They are parked in some sort of a storage building which is open on two sides, exposing the cars to the elements. Paint and chrome are shot. Located in Mississippi. Seller asking $5K for both cars:

And Packard Don, this one is for you!

1939 120 Henney Service car. Very good original condition with nice paint, chrome and interior. Ad states car was once used by a Bridgeport, CT surf shop as a delivery vehicle and has a couple of photos of it from that time period (appears to have been in the 1970's). That would have been interesting! Orange, Connecticut. Seller asking $35,000:

The car is in Mississippi, and the seller appears to be a flipper (or a normal person who does not know absolutely anything about the car, for some reason). It appears to be freshly painted, and I suspect that there might be some serious body-work done to it
