That is local to me. I have a friend who was interested in it. He said the owners have very high hopes for it on that auction. They are thinking that it will p*** 5 figures.

 

doesn't look like it has a much of an inner structure . i wonder if it was wood and rotted away? the door appears to be just an outer skin

added to my watch list

 

If someone pays over 5 figures for that it must be because they've been "hitting the bottle"!

 

Yes, '5 figures' if you include those to the right of the decimal point!

Looks to me like the bidding is about maxed out at $565.

 

4 days to go at this point.
The wood framing is gone and the frame is rusted thru. Also no motor or trans.

 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

 

Sometimes just because you CAN do something it doesn't mean you SHOULD do it.

 

Did you mispell BEER HOLDER?

 

beauty IS in the eye of the "bottle"holder.......Your lucky it will stay in one piece while you load it on a trailer.
No gl***. where are you going to find a windshield?? Oh, Todds Airplane Canopy's.

 

Stupid spell check.......

 

Seller suggests maybe turning it into a street rod. I'd like to be there when that baby pulls into the street rod nationals. Foose, Brizio, et al, look out!

 

They did wei rd stuff back then.

 

There might be a couple hundred bucks in parts there...maybe.

 

wonder where the other 2 went?

 

In a rollover it should land right back on it's wheels.

 

I could use the front bumper...

 

if not, the news report would read; "bottle neck on the highway today"

 

That would be a crowd stopper restored. The novelty will never wear out.

 

I'll go for a gl*** cold one about right now........ Sorry folks,gotta call P.I.S.........
Now back to regular programming.........

 

I like it.... co**** I dig crazy old **** like that...

 

Someone who is confusing 'rare' with 'desirable'.....

 

Bottle cars, the freaky predacessor to the Wienermobile! Here's one the Mercury Body Company built for Nu-G**** soda in 1925.

 

I wonder how many Shriners you could fit in it.

 

I LOVE it *hips* *blurp* Great car to smuggle moonshine..

 

Back when "On the Bottle" meant something else entirely.
