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. (http://autos.yahoo.com/photos/the-survivors-cars-of-the-lambrecht-collection-slideshow/survivor-cars-of-the-lambrecht-collection-photo-2081796890.html)
Complete back story written by the daughter of the owner. Cool just to read. (http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2013/06/the-story-behind-the-lambrecht-chevrolet-collection/)
PDF of the auction flyer - might take a while to load (http://www.vanderbrinkauctions.com/auction_images/135/documents/Flyer.pdf)
Full list of inventory - so many with single digit mileage (http://www.vanderbrinkauctions.com/auction_images/135/documents/Inventory.pdf)
Link to all the pictures taken by the auction company. There's like 5-6 pages worth. Bring your drool rag. (http://www.vanderbrinkauctions.com/auctions_pictures.php?detail=135)
