Classic cars, hotrods and bikes

From the Lambrecht auction.

I was there

Well don't be a tease!! Tell me more.

I lived 2 to 3 blocks from the dealership. Don't know how many people I told about this guy, unsold new cars were either stored in sheds or parked in a field outside of town. 100s of classics, I think 50 had never been sold, so they were considered to be new.

Tried to buy a 63 Chevy from him many times, he wouldn't sell them.

Most of the people I told this too over the years thought I was a big fibber.

Google Lambrecht Chevy auction, Pierce, Nebraska to get the whole story.

History channel had a special on it. Might still be available on the web

I had to go to the auction even though I knew I couldn't afford to buy anything. I had sat or drove quite a few of those cars that were traded in and not resold. Several were owned previously by friends and family. That car you pictures might have been one that was owned by a high school buddy, although it was much nicer when he traded it.

What a blast, thanks for posting the pick. Reminds me of my youth!

In the late 60's my two oldest brothers each had Roadrunners. These images are the closest I could find to what I remember they looked like.

I like going to car shows and seeing the old classics. The first thing I do is stick my head in the window and take a big whiff. One guy caught me and asked "what's it smell like"? I replied... "history". :thup:
