They hold the car show display signs if there is one with the car.

Yes, the silver deuce is a rebody. I wonder who bought it?

$190,000.00 for a Model A circus pickup wagon Tuesday evening.
They also announced that so far the total for memorabilia sold is $4.9 million.
I don't know what's more absurd,10K for the fantasy Shell sign or 250K for that fake Beverly Hillbillies car.You could have bought a real classic Packard or Cadillac for that.

WHERE'S ALL THE MONEY COMING FROM? </div></div>

Honestly and in my opinion, when I was talking to the wife last night about B-J I told her I thought this was going to be a banner year there for high prices. Maybe not prior to the bust, but the economy is getting stronger (in spite of govt actions and really just on the backs of regular Americans being sick of the economic doldrums, IMO) and people are a little more optimistic. I just had a feeling the bucks would be flowing there this year.

Or perhaps B-J has been serving more alcohol this year

Low interest $ available and minimal returns for those w/ funds to invest helps loosen up money usually held tighter...add liquor also world events of late = spend and let's all enjoy life while we can?

Guess the Pratt cars had a lot to do with Tuesday's higher prices, according to the Velocity commentators.

Tonight a nice stock/orange '71 454 Corvette gets just past 30K and then a &quot;rat rod&quot; '71 Chevy short bed, with actual rust holes, gets 30K. I'm sure I am missing something here!

Nice to have Steve Magnante commenting on the cars.
