Lambrecht Collection public auction - Sept. 28/29

[Chauncey]

So, not sure if anybody saw this but Krandy snuck in a link a while back about this random car collection.  Have been looking into it more and reading the back story and whatnot.  Anywho, they're doing a public auction of all the cars at the end of September.  It's a pretty good drive into Nebraska, roughly 5 hours from here (Owatonna), but man would it be cool to see some of them in person.  Who knows what parts of the country/world these cars will end up in and I'm sure they're gonna go for crazy money, but still.  

Randy's original link with a couple random pictures of cars and a quick summary of the collection.

Complete back story written by the daughter of the owner.  Cool just to read.

PDF of the auction flyer - might take a while to load

Full list of inventory - so many with single digit mileage

Link to all the pictures taken by the auction company.  There's like 5-6 pages worth.  Bring your drool rag.

As long as the churro is fresh/still warm, then yes.
