Replying to: seminole_kev (May 06, 2008 12:57 pm) I'd figure the car might be worth $12,000 in England. Here I doubt you could get $6,500 for it. I doubt it's an eBay appraisal stunt because that requires that you start with a low bid but put a huge reserve on it. The way he has it, he'll get 0 bids.

I'm back from a few hundred mile road trip, and I did see a few oddballs out on the road. Most remarkable was probably a 52 or 53 Packard convertible driving nonchalantly down a rural highway. Not something you see every day. In the smallish town where I stayed for a few days, I also saw some odd cars...one of those late 70s Olds fastbacks, this one a 2-door, languishing under a carport of a grandma-ish house comes to mind first. I also saw a very nice looking Volvo Amazon wagon sitting on a small town used car lot. The highlight of the car-spotting took place at an estate sale. Out in the garage was a 61 Chrysler New Yorker 4-door post - the slanty-eyed last of the huge fins model. It was an off-white with a blue cloth interior, which was in excellent condition. The odo read 20K, but I am sure it was 120K as it was a regular driver by the old lady owner for nearly 40 years. It had been off the road since 2000. The car was very clean and perfectly straight. I couldn't figure out how to open the hood...the lever was weird, so I don't know what was there. I suspect the car could have been bought for a couple grand.

Replying to: fintail (May 11, 2008 11:46 am) I haven't seen much of interest over the past couple days, with the exception of a nice looking '62 Chevy 4-door pillared sedan. It was black with red trim on the side. I think it was an Impala, but I didn't see the taillights, so I guess it could've been a Bel Air or Biscayne. |
