Auburn 2008: Sale-A-Bration

Labor Day has come and gone. As is usual, my Dad and I hit the Kruse Auction Park in Auburn, If for our annual trip to the enormous collector car auction. We've been going on Saturdays recently. Typically, that's when the most cars are there. That also means that's when the most people are there. This year, we shook things up and went Friday evening. It was a good decision. For one thing, admission was half price after 6 pm so it only cost $10 instead of $20. The crowd was a lot smaller too. That means no fighting to see things, no fighting to get food, and no fighting to find a place to eat your food. The weather was a lot nicer too. We had the cool evening breeze instead of the 90 degree afternoon heat. And there were more than enough cars.

Some notes:

1. We saw 5 AMC Javelins. That's more Javelins then I've seen at Auburn for the past 10 years...combined.

2. We saw probably 10 Avantis and 10 Studebakers.

3. And the Edsel count had to be close to 20.

And there's something special for you Hardcastle and McCormick fans out there (you know who you are) It's the first picture of the bunch.
