1940s Chevy Dealer re-opens to Auction off 500 Time Capsule Cars
http://www.messynessychic.com/2013/0...-capsule-cars/
Car collectors dream about finding a forgotten “new” classic car, discovered in a barn or warehouse somewhere, covered in dust. This is that dream, only 500 times better…. A small-town Midwestern dealership in Pierce, Nebraska sold Chevrolets to local families and first-time buyers for 50 years until it’s husband and wife team finally closed their doors seventeen years ago. Since then, a staggering inventory of 500 surviving cars, new & used, have been stored away, undriven for decades. Some 50 cars “brand new” Chevrolets from the 1950s and 60s have less than 10 miles on the odometer. Ray and Mildred Lambrecht are now in their 90s and have made what is described by their daughter Jeannie, as a “a difficult and painful” decision, to liquidate the dealership’s massive inventory of ‘survivor vehicles’. On September 28th and 29th, 2013, VanDerBrink Auctions will have the honor of selling this incredible, once in a lifetime collection of American automotive history. |

I'd probably go for an old 4x4 pickup of some kind. Maybe a 2 door sedan? But I think most of the 4 door sedans with a 3 tree stick shift and a 6 cylinder engine are just gonna sit there for the most part. But who knows? I hope this family makes a killing.

I saw a link to this last week and thought 2 things.
1. Why in the world let these cars waste away like this? The 58" truck has 1 mile on it and a smashed roof. 2. Seriosuly you couldn't find a better narrator for this video? Holy shit she is annoying. |

depending on what you paid or if it's a car that would go into that kind of thing if not drive a brand new time capsule be like that plymouth that was time capsuled in oklahoma, think it was a 56 plymouth if you didn't pay much , you got a new car from a different era

There's a lot of old electrical engineers and software developers that buy up K-Pro's and ancient ass computers. Very difficult to find stone age computers and they're collectible now.
