The old car sale has been held.......

[BobT-47P15]

....on this past Saturday. Were probably 200 to 300 bidders there. The

owner had added several more cars, somewhere from 150 to 200 were

on hand.

We had company so I could not get to the sale by the 10 a.m.

start time. Was more like 11:30 when I got there, and could only stay for

an hour or so due to having a music job at 3 in the afternoon back in

Joplin.

One added row contained several older Corvettes and some Cadillacs, plus

a model T touring car.

The T sold for $5000......

This 63 Studebaker Hawk went for $2100.

And......this 49 two seat Plym coupe went for $900. Met and visited with the

buyer who is from the area and plans to make it a "Sunday driver". The

car was complete with floorboards that may not prove to be too bad, and

very good stainless trim. The engine was complete and turned by hand.

Inside the car was a Fulton type visor in the back seat.....in the trunk a

radio grille with radio, plus assorted coffee cans with small parts including

visor brackets. I wrote down the name of the forum for the man and

invited him to check it out.

My personal favorite, this 55 Chrysler which could be pretty much cleaned

up and used (may or may not run) went to a new home in Kansas City

for $1100.

Heard some other prices in the background which seemed reasonable....many

were in the hundreds (as opposed to thousands).

Since this was not all the cars in the collection......there will probably be another sale sometime.

Don't know if there are any other old Mopars among them,

but will be interesting to see.

Sounds to me like someone got the model t and Studebaker prices backwards. What were they thinking?
