Ebay auction, I believe the cars listed are from the Karr Rubber estate, being sold by the son who thinks very highly of them.

Nice Pierce-Arrow!
The ad says the starting price is for all 5 of the cars listed.
1932 pierce arrow
1925 mcfarlan limo
1927 packard limo
1965 caddy fleetwood
1956 caddy limo
So I guess it’s not that out of line for a starting price provided they all run.
If they are all project cars then he’s a little too high on his starting price.
The Packard looks like a very big car.
Last I was told, that price was just for the Pierce. I inspected the car years ago………
For those that are timid at spending $125,000 for 5 automobiles, a 1967 book
stated that there were 18 McFarlans left. Made 1910 to 1927, they made middle
price to extravagant high priced vehicles. In 1923 they sold one car for $23K
and 235 cars built, the most ever. This car offered is probably their 120HP,
triple ignition, 140 inch wheelbase car. It’s not their sexiest body style
by a long shot. A friend had one and it was a bear to steer. Harrah had Jack
Dempsey’s Roadster. A Chicago gangster who bought one parked his and went
inside a business. A policeman found him and asked him to move it because
the crowd around it was causing a traffic jam. Such a car is hard to value
but it would bring more than peanuts.
Craig, I did not catch that, the title does say “bundle”, so maybe it is for all five. Being simplistic, five cars at $25K each, maybe not too far off on the first three, but the two later cars aren’t in that ballpark. The three prewar cars all look like they need a lot of work., though…..
The Packard looks like it spent part of its life as a hearse.
The eBay listing says BUY IT NOW.
I believe that is for all five cars.
The sub-head reads: “5 Classic Car bundle.”
Sounds like $25K each, but only as a Lot.
I looked at the 1932 Coupe last year. At that time the engine was seized due to a leaking head gasket.
The plugs were left out of the engine for twenty five years………..The car was for sale about ten years ago for six figures…..listed as a perfect unrestored original………..I inspected it……….and ended up with this one…….now the property of Tony C.
Tony C. wonders what lucky star he was standing under the day of the purchase
as many logistics had to be ironed out. I usually don’t buy a car on a whim
while being 1,800 miles from home. Duane W. had a garage for local storage
and is more honest than most priests I know. He is now the car’s official
Godfather. Ed did everything he said he would and you can’t find a better P.A.
Society guy. She’s not ready for Pebble Beach, but watch out Car Olympics.
The bundle is no longer for sale.
