Default Hershey Auto Auction

I was looking at the sales results of the automobile auction held at the Hershey AACA meet and was surprised to see a 1932 five window Model B coupe sell for $35,000 and a 1934 roadster sell for $60,000 it was a past grand champion . To me that 5 window was a great buy .

The other photos of the '32 coupe on the RM Auction are not quite so flattering as that above. Other 1930s Ford bargains were two nice '34 phaetons and a truly excellent '34 station wagon.

I was at the auction . . . the prices blew me away! The lesson I learned was that if I ever want to sell anything in our world, I need to drag it all to my Cousin's ranch in SD and have an auction. By the time everybody drives way the Hell out there, with their trailer in tow, they MUST come home with something! LOL.

There certainly were no bargains. Good for Neil, though. Was hard for him to sell his collection. He kept his 64.5 Mustang, and has a bit of work left on the 32 roadster.

He was restoring the 34, then switched to the 32 when he got it. He was born in 32
