I just came back from Fla. and I was at the
Barret-Jackson auction on Sat. Christine wasn't sold while I was
there.
The car appeared to be a Belvedere with all the
Aluminum trim painted silver, 150 mph speedometer, a lousy paint job on the
dash. The car had a good shine ,but I didn't open the hood so I don't know about
the engine. I would be ashamed to drive that car to the local cruise
night.

Has anyone taken notice of
the price the "'58 Plymouth Fury Christine Car" sold for at the B/J in Palm
Beach, FL auction yesterday. According to the Palm Beach Post the car
sold for $167,400. I saw the car yesterday. I also took a few
pictures of it. I guess the person who had the winning bid was a movie
buff. I believe there was documentation that the car was the #1 car in
the picture and the last car in the picture. I don't believe it was one
of the cars that they trashed to make the movie. Anyway, I couldn't
believe the price. That does wonders for all Exner cars. Just
wanted to let everyone know. John Paxos '57 Fury '57 Belvedere
