I went to this today in Central Ohio. The restored Model "A"s I saw sold were a '29 roadster for about 25K, a closed cab pickup truck for about 18, and a '29 Tudor for about 12.

Every time I go to an auction I swear it will be the last. Lloyd was experienced and honorable but I would prefer to drive a car and ask questions before buying.

Also there seems to be a phenomenon where guys are there bidding for somebody on their cell phone. Nothing illegal immoral or fattening about it, maybe not a new practice, just leaves me with a suspicion that a trillionaire somewhere is dominating the market and driving up prices for the rest of us. That's life I guess.
