You hear about these small town dealerships that once dotted across the landscape, with their collection of cherished vehicles, but never to this extent. Mark your calendars, because on September 28th and 29th this year, the whole lot will be liquidated. I know what you are saying right now… Another auction with disappointing inventory or over priced merchandise, but you would be wrong this time. This auction promises to be your once in a lifetime opportunity to still purchase practically new 50s, 60s, 70s, and a few 80s cars, trucks, and vans. Some still have their window stickers firmly attached. Make the jump to see some of the highlighted inventory that will be going up for auction.
Here is a page from the VanDerBrink Auctions site describing the Story of Ray P. Lambrecht and Lambrecht Chevrolet Company by the daughter of the owner, Jeannie Lambrecht Stillwell. I won’t get into details, but I will be highlighting some of the amazing inventory from the catalog, that you can find here. If there is a picture, I will include it.
