I visited this "museum" last summer and it's a pretty col place. I have
pictures of these cars as well as the plaques next to them. I could scan
them if someone would like to post them (Kai?). It's a nice place to
spend an afternoon. They have a Tucker and some other interseting stuff
(TC, Amphicar, Isetta, Messerschmidt, plus some American muscle). Does
anyone know when this auction is? Are other cars going too? Is this
place shutting down?

p.s. I too will miss Mr. Gibbons. I've been on this list about 2 years
now. I remember when the list was carried by Ray, Denise Thorpe, and Will
Zehring. I have always thought of Ray as both the heart and the wit of
the list. I am very sorry to hear of his passing.
