gossp Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I really only saw maybe five I would want... and I couldn’t afford the buyers premium, much less the price... on any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motoringicons Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) My 1st choice in this pile would definitely be the ex-Lindley Bothwell Locomobile Model 48 Sportif. I sat in this car at his ranch when I was a kid. While owned by Bothwell, this car made a brief cameo appearance in the movie "Chaplin". Another old acquaintance bought this car from Bothwell and owned it until the current owner acquired it. It's just a great, original car with a strong presence inside and out.

1937hd45 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 One of my dumbest moments took place on the Bothwell Ranch. Crazy Chris of Shell Hill fame took me there in his Model A Ford Speedster back around 1974, a car that took me 40 years to finally find. Sorry it can't be bought. Mr. Bothwell gave us the tour, two floors of cars in tin covered barns. The big one cylinder Packard and Hooker Special Twin Cam Miller were highlights to me. Right around the 38th photo on a 36 photo roll I realized all those photos were just in my memory. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe in Canada Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) This is a bankruptcy auction so there should be no reserve on anything. I would think that if you buy enough cars that you will be able to buy the property if it has not been sold yet and save having to move the cars.

Steve Moskowitz Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I have anxiously awaited this sale but will wait now until October. Sad, could have been there and then over to Auburn this weekend. I will be there for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike6024 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 1st "lot" is two Alfa Romeo rear axles, differentials 2nd "lot" is Alfa Romeo engines/parts. Two blocks, one head, and misc. Just posted it, because there are several engines of various makes people may be interested in, so you might want to look through the parts as well as the cars.

JACK M Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Re the Hudson pick up. What are the three glass bottles near the firewall with what look like vacuum tubes running to the bottom? I have always had a fondness for these pick ups. Edited May 5, 2020 by JACK M (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
