    Inspection is on 13 and auction is on 14th.  His other 5 collector cars will also be sold at the auction.

    He had quite a "collection".   None nicer than the Hornet...k

    The convertible sold for 95,200.00 and auctioneer said it was the star of the auction.  He said it drew more attention than the Cord.

    Well, the power of the auction today, the hype of the venue, plus the notoriety of being a Senator and a collector didn't hurt.   Someone has to pay for all of that...k

    It was his car, but I liked the continental on it.
