What auction? What is special about the car? Roger

All I caught was the sale on the Local Radio show saying how it went to Seinfield for a Mil and he was bidding against Leno.

I can imagine Seinfeld paying that much but not Leno. There must be a story behind the car or it could have been a charity auction for which Seinfeld can claim a tax deduction? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

I thought Seinfeld was a Porsche freak,not a Corvette caretaker at all. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

His pre-pubescent wife (ala Jerry Lee Lewis) probably wanted it.

David Letterman has been know to pay big $$ for collectable cars althought its not public knowledge. Deep pocket guys do it all the time. Does that make the cars more valuable?

yeah but who here can even picture Jerry Seinfeld being a "car guy"? Especially one who knows his $hit? I know I can't.... Paying a $mil for a '59 Vette????? Must be some publicity around it somehow https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

A car is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay!!

Re: Million $ 1959 Corvette?????
 

Can anybody find out WHAT car it was ??? If it was the retractable it would make some sense...

Re: Million $ 1959 Corvette?????
 

Was the retractible a 59? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
