A former car dealership that had been in business for 75 years saved over 200 trade-ins. They're being auctioned off next month. This is in Grant, NE.

The link has a few pics of some. I would like to see a catalog.

Hoard of over 200 classic cars being auctioned in September
Published August 12, 2014

A bumper crop of classic cars is going to market in Nebraska in September.

The collection of trade-ins was hoarded by Bullock Motors in the town of Grant over the course of its 75-plus year history.

The business, now an automotive restoration and used car outfit, had been a franchisee of several GM brands, mainly Chevrolet.

The trove of vehicles runs the gamut from dusty, rusty hulks to mint drivers, and includes a 1925 Buick Hi-Wheel racer, 1957 Chevrolet Cameo pickup, 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge and a very rare 1939 "Sharknose" Graham Supercharger.

New old stock parts and nostalgia pieces like signs and ride-on toy cars are also among the lots on offer.

The sale is being run by VanDerBrink Auctions, which last year brought the hammer down on a similar stockpike of 500 cars owned by Lambrecht Chevrolet on the other side of Nebraska in Pierce. That auction took in a total of $2.8 million.

The Bullock auction is taking place online and on-site on September 6th.

From pictures on the auctioneer's website it looks like a lot of rust with a handful of very nice cars thrown in. Hard not to like a '64 Corvair, though. That will probably buff out...
