Nebraska Museum Closing with some Pre War Buicks

This was posted further up for comments under the General section.  While some of the makes have body color choices in the clown category, most of the Buicks are conservatively respectable.  

 

Still, with 2 months to go for an entirely on line auction and starting bids on most at $10,000, it will be curious to see how this goes.   Apparently, the 4 body photos are all you get, and you may be 1,500 miles away and have to "guess" on the cars interior, engine, driveability etc?   OK, sure.  

 

It will be curious to see if they knock down the starting bids to a more respectable start or run another auction when several of these cars fail to sell.

Wow!  Some really nice cars.  Museum cars do lots of sitting and little else so I'd expect to have to replace everything in the drivetrain that contains rubber, at the very least.

Yes that has been mentioned in the General Section thread, this is total buyer beware.  Supposedly, the auction co. is to add "100" photos per car.  

 

Starting bids at $10,000?  Many think several of these will go unsold.  Supposedly no on site bidding.  Lots of warning signs here, but yes, still some nice old Buicks.
