Toppers Tuesday

We had lots of discussion about the R&M Auction to be held at Joe’s Garage on Saturday June 14th. The concern was how many people would leave the Roadster Show, drive 50 miles, pay $80 to get in to watch people bid on some very nice cars. I think R&M knows about auctions so I guess there will be lots of buyers in attendance. If you look at R&M’s website you can see Joe’s collection that is being auctioned off. There is a open house on Thursday and Friday, so maybe I can make it down to the garage.

Joe was a mega car dealer for GM as well as other manufacturers, but was very loyal to the Chevy brand and a friend of GM. A true enthusiast with success that allowed him to purchase and build some very nice cars. My favorite is the 32 tudor sedan that Richard Lovesee started and never finished. Lil John inspired car of the 70’s. I had seen the car at Boyd’s a few times, but it was never finished. Bob and Sharon Kolmos have similar tudor sedans built by Boyd and Fat Jack. Long live the Deuce sedan.

Here are some cars.

Stay Tooned!
