Here's a link to

If I were within 200 miles of the auction, I would be there this weekend if only to watch and enjoy.
I hope it is recorded on video.

He was brilliant to invest his money in cars instead of the rotten financial instruments that have squandered the money of people who saved, thinking they’d get interest on those savings for their old age. How wrong they were!
The crooks that run the Fed and Wall St. have ripped savers off to the tune of trillions of dollars. “A penny saved is a penny lost.”

“I hope it is recorded on video.”
Agree. Maybe National Geographic, Discovery Channel or some such will do a show. Hope so.

Nice pics. Thanks!
My 28 yr old daughter said that they were real cars. She doesn't care for new ones. They all look alike.

This demonstrates how big the mark up on new cars really is.
This man was in business for fifty years and just left 500 cars unsold. Thats is an average of ten cars per year.
If you use todays prices as a guide; average price of a new car around $25K that is $250K in unsold product per year. Granted some of the cars were trade ins but the guy was definitely making a lot of money if he could just let assets sit and rust in a field.

The “new” cars were in storage, inside. Only the trade-ins were in a field.

I heard about the particular treasure trove of vintage cars some months ago; and the plans to get it auctioned. I am surprised given that early report that the auction is only now taking place.

FTA: This weekend was specifically picked for the auction because there was no University of Nebraska football game scheduled: an important consideration for drawing a crowd in the Cornhusker State.
LOLOLOL!

A distinction with out a difference.
The fact remains that these were cars that he paid for that he got no return on for his investment. The cars were a loss he could not even take off his taxes.

He only had 50 new cars. The rest were trade-ins.

If you want the big bidders to come and you want to get the high prices you have to allow time for the excitement to build.
There is also a lot of lead time for inventory and catalog design and printing.
I am guessing that the catalog for this auction will be a collectable all by itself.

Thx for that link. I just looked over the cars to be auctioned.
It is possible this auction could bring in over $20 mil.

The History channel has a show tonight at 8:00pm to 11:02pm called, “History Made Now: Wheels of Fortune”.
From the website.
“Car collectors from around the world are flocking to a small town in the heart of the Midwest for the chance of a lifetime. In a closed down family car dealership in Nebraska, the mother lode of classic cars—many having less than 10 miles on the odometer—are going up on the auction block. In this special presentation HISTORY will have exclusive access to the collection and the auction. The special will be hosted by Brian Unger and feature Top Gear’s Rutledge Wood and Tanner Foust.”
