Wow, the 1956 and 1957 must have been found in a barn.

There were actually more.
Friday- 1957 @ $28,500, 2002 @ $25,000, 1955 No Sale. 1961 @ $7,750

Saturday- 1956 @ $26,000, 1957 bid $26,500 No Sale 1955 bid $30,250 No
Sale 1957 @ $22,000

None of these cars came out of a barn looked really good in the photos.
The 1961 at $7,750 was a red hard top looked nice.

I would not want to be in a position where I had to sell a car today.

Just a added note to Sam that 1961 would have looked good between your 1957 and 2002.

John, it sure appears to be a buyers market. Would love to have the 1961 but I'm out of storage room.

Wow - and I could have dealt with the '57 at $22K, but with 5 cars, we ran out of room a long time ago. I'll have my '57 someday, though.

I do not think I have ever seen a kangaroo as a pet at a car auction (or anywhere else for that matter) and I know I have never seen a kangaroo adorned in a diaper.
