It appears that only a handful of these cars sat indoors for the last 40 years??

Tom Meyer · 06-19-2013, 05:45 PM

Many of the cars where indoors untill about 15 years ago when the building was condemed and then ended up out side. Some of the cars where under roof from new on. Tom

Tom, this whole thing just bleeds so much attention from me I can't stand it!
Can you do more in reporting, photo's etc. Thanks in advance! B

As I said I grew up with this, rode my bike in the sixtys past the dealership every day in the summer. Gene Bichlmeier bought cars there, my sister still has her 76 vega bought off the showroom floor there. Many of the new cars where never tiltled and if you bought it you whould be the original owner, they have someone working on that also. Many of the cars now are next to our golf course and yes many trees will to go before sale time. A few years back somebody took many parts from some of the cars the did some jail time for it. Bernie let me know what you what and I will see what I can do. Tom

I like the 396 Vega.

This event doesn't seem possible/real. Hope they supply a lot of fresh towels..the drooling will be epic.

Good thing thing a wholesaler didn't get in to these 30 years ago.

I've looked at each entry and just imagined what history they hold.
Period correct collectors have just got their Holy Grail.

Of course the latest news is Jay Leno is coming, the auction co says expect 8 to 10 thousand . Hell our town has only 1800 living here. Mite be 1000 motel rooms within 30 miles mite have to rent out my house. One memory was all the keys for the cars hanging on the wall. At one time a lot of the used cars where stuffed on vacant lots around town. Tom

Ok guys the video is up on the top of the page showing some of the cars. You even get to see me pushing out the white 64. Back in the day Ray had rods for my 53 chevy 6 cly. But lots of old parts are there also. Some of the cars on the list I have never seen. Have been told they are at another site like the 64 convertible. Also if anybody is thinking about coming you better get your motel early. There are none in Pierce. There is a bed and breakfast Tuscan Villa. Norfolk is 20 miles away with about 650 rooms, there is a airport there. I mite be able to give some racers a ride if you need one There is also limited RV pads in Pierce Hadar Osmond area call me at 402 329 6795 if you need help, thats my work number .Tom
