    This thing is well hidden, I have driven past this car for the last 4 years without a clue that it was there.

    41 Packard 120 Club Coupe

    It is behind a tall fence surrounded by weeds and trees.

    Now to the find the owner, may be a hard task as the building that is next to it has sat empty for about 40 years.

    It will be mine if I can find the owner and ***uming they will sell.

    BAsed on the windshield art it appears it was for sale at one time, also looks like they wanted less than a grand based on the distance where the numbers would have been written.

    Once I find the owner I plan to make a package deal on both of them.

    I know where another truck just like that one is also, a truck that is also hidden from view and have already taled to the owner of that one. He is pretty much ready to sell but wants a little too much. Working on it still.

    I would love to take more pictures and will as soon as I find the owner.

    Did I mention the fence and the brambles on the fence. To get this picture you have to climb the fence through the brambles and stick the camera over the top. Also, this is Louisiana and tressp***ers will be shot, literally.

    A friend of mine streetrodded one of those. All he actually used was the sheetmetal, he built his own frame, suspension, floors, etc. He made the doors suicide style and with a 440 Mopar in it is a really nice ride.

    Also the price on the windshield could have been when the hoarder brought it 30 years ago too. Wiped it half off and that is as far as they got with it.

    I am pretty sure you will soon find out that this car is owned by a Nigerian dimplomat who had it stored there for safe keeping years ago. The diplomat died unexpectedly in a late night flight to Bongo Bongo and the family lost track of the cars location.

    Most likely there is 20 million dollars worth of stock certificates stored in it's trunk. Probably keys to a lock box full of gold at a swiss bank is in the glove box.

    Be expecting correspondence from a Nigerian family member that will be offering to to pay you a finders fee, and give you 1/4 of all the stock.

    Despite all that, GREAT FIND!

    you can contact your town offices and they will tell you who owns the property. it is public knowledge so they can't not give it you. Good luck with it; its really cool!!

    If you get it be sure to look around and see if those missing pieces of trim on the p***enger headlamp are laying there. I had a '38 120 sedan and the Packard pieces are kind of hard to find and pricey when you do find them.

    Thanks guys. I have my freind who is a real estate agent looking into the property for me.

    Good suggestions on looking up the deed at the county.

    I am hoping it is a little old lady who needs someone to help clean up her property and wants them gone.
