Million $ 1959 Corvette?????

[JChlupsa]

Just heard that a 59 Vette went for a cool mil and the bidding war was between Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfield with Jerry taking home the car.

Anyone else hear this!!!

wish I was the seller

What auction? What is special about the car? Roger

[JChlupsa]

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?

I thought Seinfeld was a Porsche freak,not a Corvette caretaker at all.

Maybe it was the one off retractable hardtop....

and yadda yadda yadda - I paid a million bucks for a vette

[Bill Pritchard]

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?
