    Well, if the seller wouldn't take $55k in 2020, will he take $50k in 2024?
    Not a good market right now for 'spensive collector cars.

    Shooting it on that gravel drive didn’t help his cause either.

    Currently ay $25,000, but still 3 days to go. As I said previously, A LOT can happen in the last 5 minutes, and when it gets down to the final minute or so, any NEW bid resets the clock to 5 minutes, I think.

    One thing a DON'T like about these early 60's Chrysler Corp full-sized wagons is the extra rear condenser unit mounted to the roof, behind the second seat, as in this example. Sort of blocks rearward vision, and takes up a lot of space. Personally, I'd just like the regular dash A/C unit.

    You're right about the rear vision. That's why Chrysler moved the rear view mirror to the dash if the car had the rear air option. Still rear air seems like a cool option for the era.

    2 hrs. to go and no bids since dec 9. Still at $25,000. Usually if this was going take off it would have started going up by now., Even at the $500 /jump.
