Default Re: Once in a lifetime auction

If you read deep into the story on him what got him going back in the day was after WW II they got cars right after the war by what they sold before the war. Very few people know the hardships back then, remember Ray grew up threw the depression as my parents. Ray and his wife told me when they got married he had to barrow a white shirt. You would never know that they where major stockholders in GM by there modest lifestill. Ray wanted whoever bought a car from him to have safe transportation so selling a used car that had over 50000 back then almost worn out was not a option. And why they did not sell any thing they did not need the money. I think he felt there would be another war and he would have cars to sell when it happened[.my opinon.] Untill a few years ago he was just going to have them crushed when he died good thing he changed his mind.
