Kissimmee Auction Oddities
At the big collector car auction run by Mecum International later this month at Kissimmee you can see these and much, much more:
Lot F202: 1955 Dodge La Femme Coupe. I kid you not. 20-thousand miles plus "...documentation from Mrs. I. L. Peterson who purchased the La Femme from Shelby Motors in Champaign, Illinois on May 3, 1955." The La Femme came from the factory with a purse as standard equipment.
Lot S181: 1958 Pontiac Parisienne Convertible. A Canadian-spec Pontiac, thus all Chevy underneath. Lovely restoration. Like all of its contemporaries, remarkably and often inexplicably overstyled (I don't get so-called Continental kits).
Lot Z157: Neon Sign Pontiac. A classic '40s 10-footer. There are quite a few of these. Evidence all those ex-Pontiac dealers are clearing out the fixtures?
