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. |

It's a corvette peddle car.
It's not even a real vehicle, it's a child's play toy. Even if you're not British, you have got to be the least American person I've ever encountered...

Wait, what? Because I didn't realize that it was a pedal car?

For a variety of reasons and this did you no favors.

That and your insistence on taxing us every time we use the letter t.

That's silly. I was just scrolling through the pictures, saw that "car" and couldn't identify what it was. I obviously didn't closely examine the surroundings or I would have seen the scale.
As to the rest, I suppose that your definition as to what is an American differs with mine.

By the way you can tell this dealership is in the Chiefs Kingdom. Not a single Camaro I believe was listed. You know those sold like hot cakes.

There's some cool stuff on there. There's also a lot of stuff that I wouldn't bother occupying a spot in the garage with.

Should have sold them several years ago. Would have got a much better price for them.
