I looked that '58 over very carefully and attended the auction and watched
the bidding on it. There were two bidders who took the bidding from 4
digits up to the winning price. All it takes is two people with money who
want the same something and are at the same auction. I positioned my self
to see a bidder who showed a great deal of interest in the car before the
bidding thinking I would see him win the bid. He fell out early and I
wasn't in a position to see either of the big time spenders bidding. I
would have liked to get ahold of the runner up while he was hot to buy and
offer my '57 to him??!!
The '58 was perfect but I saw signs of repainting in some areas and it could
have been completely repainted although very well done.
It was advertisied as all original.
The auction was very exciting with all the Kuhn cars. I go to this auction
when it is held twice a year and have done so for several years, buying my
'65 Dodge Polara Convertible there at what I felt was a good price.
