    Yea, this auction should bring good money in, even in this economy. he has things i've never seened before. Heck, just the $20.00 to be there will bring in a nice bundle for the amount of people i would expect that would show up.

  3. Totally agree!
     
  4. Thanks to all the people that collected all this stuff, other wise all we would be doing is collecting pictures of cars and parts.

    I feel your pain. I got my first record player in 1970 for Christmas and lost it in a move a few years later. Finally found another one, mint on eBay a couple years ago. Same with my old collection of Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars!


    Lee's alright in my book. :cool:

    I think he did reap the benefits. He got to enjoy it all those years.

    And his name and legacy lives on! (even after the collection is broken up...there will be few like it.

    Look at the enjoyment or entertainment value he brought to the sad lot on the HAMB.:D

    In the second video, can anyone explain to me the Northbrook car? I've never heard of it.

    Hoarding is a disease where a person collects so much crap it overwhelms them, yet they do nothing about it.

    Collecting is a pastime where a person collects stuff that brings them great pleasure, and they can do something about it if they want to.

    The wonderful thing about what he did, is the fact that all of that beautiful and irreplaceable stuff is still around to be enjoyed by people who appreciate it.

    Who knows how much of that incredible collection would be rustin away and disappearing in the middle of landfills, farm ponds and washouts all over small-town America.

    I say; “God bless him and may he rest in peace.” Too much of the beauty of American life has already disappeared, and it’s very satisfying to know that the items that he chose to save will be around for future generations to enjoy.

    I think if you go to the auction close your eyes and hold your hand up(if money doesn't matter) you would get something cool......Because I really didn't see any trash, only Treasure...

    If you can sit through the entire video. The 1949 Veritas is a car modified by a guy named Spohn. He made a number of other wacky/original cars. I had to take another look once I saw the tail fins on the 49 Veritas, turns out, after a bit more searching I found this link. http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=12486.0[​IMG]

    according to the dictionary "hoarding" is ......


    • The acquisition of, and failure to discard, a large number of possessions that appear to be useless or of limited value
    • Living spaces sufficiently cluttered so as to preclude activities for which those spaces were designed
    • Significant distress or impairment in functioning caused by the hoarding
    • Reluctance or inability to return borrowed items; as boundaries blur, impulsive acquisitiveness could sometimes lead to stealing or kleptomania

    seems to me he was a collector.. not a hoarder.... if he was a hoarder.... I guess we all are...in some sense.... I am amazed at what he collected all these years....

    what a great life he must have lived... I was imagining him bartering for all the things he collected.. and just the array of people he must have met.. seems a very lucky , informed man..

  23. The Hermann Spohn Carosserie was in Ravensburg, Germany and was indeed started in 1920 by Hermann, the man. However he died in 1923 so the business kept building custom bodies for many cars until its close in 1957. They built a couple or three dozen customs on American chassis in the early-mid 1950s. They are all interesting customs, some strange, some very cool like this totally hand formed '49 Olds. It looks like a stock coupe that has been chopped, channeled, sectioned but actually it is totally new sheet metal over the original chassis.

    Oh, and I've read that Lee Roy Hartung said he didn't own the collection, that "the collection OWNED HIM". That probably speaks volumes!

    Regarding breaking this museum up, several of the individual collections within it will sell to other big collectors and in ten or 20 years we will get to watch those be auctioned off again. And the beat goes on and on and on......

    Exactly my point. He profited every day he got to enjoy his collection. How much better does it get than that?

    It amazes me how many people see this collection , only to think about what they can buy to turn around and sell it to make a buck.
