'Godfather' car The "Godfather" Cadillac raised a buzz as it rolled silently into the tent. "There's a body in the trunk of that one," somebody shouted. The bidding went quickly to $4400, which was enough to take the car for Ken De a Valley Forge hotel ' owner. He said he'd use it for promotion purposes, and declined a $7500 offer for it an hour later. Pas-qual- e, 109 cars sold At 6:30 the last car, a 1923 Fiat, was knocked down for $900 and the auction was over. Omar Landis had sold 109 cars and wasnt even hoarse. About 70 percent of the cars had gone for less than $5000, and comparatively few had failed to draw their reserve prices. One was a Duesenberg speedster valued by its owner at $75,-00Bidding stopped at $32,500 because it had a body. Nobody wanted the London bus very badly, probably because the driver had run it under a low bridge on the way to the sale, and the owner of the Renault tank, Edward Kirchoff, decided he'd rather keep it than let it go for the $5100 that was high bid. After all, you never know when a working tank will come in handy. 0. non-origin- al tARADL JUNE IB, 1972 |
