Got our '31 roadster 'kit' from brother-in-law - he had disassembled to update, but never got to it - for $3,000

He also gave a box of stuff...
- several quarts of non-detergent oil - "the only thing you want to use"
- an old torn vinyl spare tire cover
- an oil cloth spare tire cover printed with the figure of Roosevelt, holding a beer, with the word 'Prosperity'

Now, this last item...
Has a small tear in it, I was about to toss it with the torn vinyl one when my wife said hold it... took a picture, searched the web, talked to an auction house... first discussion was they want it on consignment to start at 1,800 with an estimated sell from 3,000 - 3,500. I made her verify this with them, reminding her to tell them about the tear... new pictures, showing the tear were sent. Now they say start at 1,000, sell 2,000-2,500. Have to remind her doesn't mean a thing until the check clears - but still pretty interesting...
