That would look GREAT in the front window of the BSSG 😎!  Good luck with the bidding...

Well, interesting movie connection, until 50 years from now when it’s “rain man who” and no one remembers nor cares.

 

Ask a current buyer with money if they’d like to have the Topper car.

 

Likely response is “huh..what?”

Mr  Earl---really interesting --Thought i would mention that i hope  Bonhams  auction

are correct here, as you probably  know that i lived in Sacramento   for about  10 years 1991

to 2002,and reason for email is i  always  was told that  there were  three 49 Roadmasters used in the making of

the film,  and one  of those  Buicks was owned and  lived in Sacramento.

i know  the  owner he was a Buick club friend, and i also remember him telling me that they repainted the Buick for him

when they returned to him,  think i still have a  copy of the rental agreement they did for him.

I wont mention names, payments made  etc , as i dont want  to upset  any persons.

regards.

Isn't that the car that turned Leo G. Caroll to a career in horror movies?

There is a long thread going on this car.   It would be hard for me to piss on it any harder than I have in that thread.   I'm probably going to be wrong by a lot.  What did it sell for 200k?

I can't think of a movie where Dustin Hoffman didn't play a character with a dysfunction of some sort. That alone would turn me off to buying a car. Or even stopping at his yard sale.
