Amazing!

I hope to make the auction, probably won't buy anything, but it would be real special to see all of this stuff.
My father is a certified Kentucky Colonel auctioneer and I grew up working (cheep child labor) estate auctions with him.
This inventory is way over the top with many museum quality pieces.

Thanks for posting that Steve. I got pulled in on the first video and had to watch them all. My first set of orders out of Navy boot camp had me going to Glenview, IL until someone at the Personnel office realized it was a reserve base (I was active duty) and switched them out at the last minute. It would have been cool to run into that guy if things turned out differently.

Thanks again,

Dave

I have two friends (twin brothers) who are the exact same way as this guy but their stuff starts with the 1960s and is mostly British and Italian.  It's just astonishing to see how much machinery really determined people can amass.

You talking about audiophiles, Steve?

My great uncle was in the Army during WWII and brought back three BMW Isetta's from Europe. I was too young at the time (early 70's) to ask how he did that on Private pay, but I heard stories later in life that he was a damn good poker player  He kept them in a barn outside of Connellsville, PA. until he passed. They all ran perfectly, if you could ever say such a thing about a modified go-cart. He was pretty eccentric and always had a big smile on his face when he took me and my brother for rides over his farm. Damn things only went about 30 MPH, but he always made us wear motorcycle helmets when he took us out to "go exploring". Wish I knew where they ended up, because at the time they were my dream car. Seems funny now when I see pictures of those things.

When I went to school these Isettas were all the rage. There must have been 4 of them in the parking lot. They actually handled quite well, as do most 3 wheelers with two up front and the one behind.
I'd like to have one now - the original smart car!

Hi all Audio Circle members.
When I was 15 years old (1963) our neighbor was the chief mechanic for Boisclair Automobile, at the time, Boisclair was the largest used car dealer in Canada with around 1,000 used cars on his lot.
Our neighbor would come home for lunch everyday with a different car and one day, he showed up with one of those cars.
Nice car, but in case of a head-on collision, you did not have much chances to get out un-harmed.
None the less, nice little car.
