I'd never seen a '54 Kaiser before...

... or a Volkswagen Aquila... looks better than a Bradley GT...

... or a '59 Dodge Pickup... I like the mock tailfins...

... but trucks are cool... I mean who doesn't want one of these...

Looking for a short-bed?

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb164/ApexOversteer/Gen%20II/FL0114-173498_2.jpg


Or a loooong-bed?

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb164/ApexOversteer/Gen%20II/FL0114-173758_2.jpg


What about a BIG-bed?

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb164/ApexOversteer/Gen%20II/1940-Dodge-Custom.jpg


Perhaps a stake bed...

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb164/ApexOversteer/Gen%20II/1915-White-5-Ton.jpg


or one for the minimalists... a no-bed.

But not all trucks are cool... are there really guys headed to Florida with this gem circled in their catalogs?

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb164/ApexOversteer/Gen%20II/1985-Ford-Ranger.jpg


You have to love auctions though, for sheer variety. They've got big cars...

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb164/ApexOversteer/Gen%20II/FL0114-173236_2.jpg

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb164/ApexOversteer/Gen%20II/FL0114-173236_3.jpg


... and small cars...

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb164/ApexOversteer/Gen%20II/FL0114-173185_3.jpg


... and whatever this is.

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb164/ApexOversteer/Gen%20II/FL0114-173583_3.jpg


Auctions can show us that three is a crowd... unless you're talking wheels...

... But add wings and a propeller...

Sadly, auctions have a dark side... you'll see ways to ruin Volkswagens, like the Rim Job... sorry, that's Rib Jet...

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb164/ApexOversteer/Gen%20II/FL0114-173483_6.jpg

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb164/ApexOversteer/Gen%20II/FL0114-173042_3.jpg


... ways to ruin Jaguars... like the Koenig Special... yeah, it's special alright...

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb164/ApexOversteer/Gen%20II/1982-Jaguar-XJS.jpg

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb164/ApexOversteer/Gen%20II/FL0114-172579_3.jpg


... and yes, even epic ways to ruin Corvettes... like the SV Motorsports SV9... yes, that's one more than those LLC guys' cartoon, the SV8...

... or the laughable Corvette Stankray...

They say "there's an ass for every seat", and good thing too, those last few seats are going to need total asses.

[Sea Six]

I actually like that Ranger.

[Olustee bus]

Thanks for the interesting photos.

[78SA]

A couple of those are pretty cool. :cert:

W T F ? ? ?

Saw that yesterday on Mecum's site. Thinking about driving down to see some of the stuff for sale.

[GS Ragtop]

I'll be there for most of the auction days -- I'll have to keep an eye out for the cars in Apex's OP. Some good stuff there.

I'm also looking forward to seeing some of Roger Judski's cars cross the block.

[Hoog]

But not all trucks are cool... are there really guys headed to Florida with this gem circled in their catalogs?

One of the local St. Cloud rednecks will buy this one "fer da boy".

[simpleman68]

A couple really cool old trucks. That VW was funky; I didn't know they made something like that. :cert:

[DukeAllen]

Some of those were kind of pretty, and I like that Ranger too. But I want the F-86H in the upper right here...

that car is ultra :cool:

and whatever this is
http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb164/ApexOversteer/Gen%20II/1983-Lincoln-Quicksilver.jpg

It's probably a Fiat, I can see spots of rust already forming :leaving:

The front end reminds me of a Ferrari Mondial.

[snide]

This rocks!
http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb164/ApexOversteer/Gen%20II/1947-Ford-COE.jpg

The Cadillac wagon is kinda :cool: too. :leaving:

They didn't. It was a kit car built on a bug.

[DukeAllen]

I KNEW I'd seen it before
DrivingEnthusiast: Lincoln Quicksilver concept (http://drivingenthusiast.net/sec-ford/FMC-concepts-prototypes-showcars/concepts_LINCOLN/quicksilver/default.htm)
http://drivingenthusiast.net/sec-ford/FMC-concepts-prototypes-showcars/concepts_LINCOLN/quicksilver/lincoln-quicksilver.jpg
I'd still pass.

[Yerf Dog]

The front end reminds me of a Ferrari Mondial.

Looks like a 90s Caprice Classic Wagon.

[Joecooool]

Looks like Trevor Phillips is selling his truck.

Ok, that makes sense. I was wondering why I hadn't at least heard about something like that.

I remember all kinds of weird custom creations utilizing the Thing chassis.
Those were pretty funky.
