    A beautiful land barge from a different era. Up for auction tomorrow (March 16) at Mecum in Kansas City.

    I have to give the seller some credit here for bringing a car like this to a Mecum auction, the supposed home of "Muscle Cars and More." I guess this is an "and More." Seriously, how many people attending a Mecum auction go there with the intent to buy a car like this as opposed to the steady stream of Corvettes, Chevelles, and Mustangs that are typical of most Mecum auctions? Sure, they have lots of other cars, but not that many like this. I'll be very interested to see what it goes for, if it sells, or what the high bid is if it doesn't. The Old Cars Price Guide says that one of these in showroom condition is worth about $8,000.

    Why's that? I don't see a sun roof. Do you?

    Ha. Ha. Ha ha. Although, it wouldn't be the first time I exceeded the roofline of any vehicle.
