Any Kansas area old tin hunters?

This auction was pointed out over on the Studebaker forum, the studes are rough but there are a few other neat old cars. I especially like the Cadillacs, a couple 4 door hard tops and that 49 fast back.

I just happen to about 30 miles from there at this time.............which ones are the good investments...the ford with the hemi sounds good ,the 2 door winged fastback stude looks cool,but ruff............what do the elders have to say?????????????
I am going to go check it out if nothing else ,possibly purchase if the price is right.I will get some good pics too.

For investments, I think that '49 Cad or that 40 Ford Truck. But they might also bring high bids. That Studebaker with the wings is actually a Packard Hawk with a 53 Stude front clip. Probably wrecked the original very uncommon Packard front and replaced it with the Studebaker stuff. Packard Hawks are very rare, but that one looks very rough. It should have a supercharged Studebaker 289 if it has the original motor. I also like those 56-57 Caddy 4 door hard tops, you could do a real neat Custom with one of them, or do it back original and you would have a very cool wedding car. The auction sounds like there is a lot of shop equipment and tools too

Shawnlee- I tried to E-mail you but the link didn't work. Is Camp Pawnee, the Boy Scout camp still outside of Larned? I spent several great summers there.

[shawnlee28]

Yes ,I believe soo ,I have only been here a short while ,but have heard mention of it ,its actually just down the street from the road I am on and I am pretty shure its still active.
I hope to make it to the auction ,its about 1 hour north of here,but a ride there might be difficult as the family I am with has to work and do family stuff I hope to make it there and have been to the local auction 2 times already!!!

[Stu Cool]

Shawnlee, Did you make it to the auction?
