Want to "play with the big boys . . . but you like the little cars"?
Pre-auction publicity for the September 2-8 Kruse International Auction in Auburn, Indiana claims that 5,000 cars will cross the block (or blocks, since the “World’s Largest Collector Car Auction and Show" will take place on the 480 acre Kruse International Auction Park).
And from the looks of the catalog, there will be plenty of mini and microcars to go around. The list includes:
Two 1970 Cushman Trucksters (12 hp and 22 hp)
1963 King Midget
1966 Citroen "Austin Powers" car
1960 Fiat Bianchina
1959 Vespa 400
1953 Piaggio 3 Wheeler
2005 Smart Car Passion
1967 Velorex
2008 Tango Citi Car
Three Berkeleys
Two Reliants (Regan and Robin)
Two BMW Isettas (1956 and 1958)
1952 Crosley Station Wagon
1950 Crosley Hot Shot
1932 BSA Three-Wheeler Roadster
But take care before you bid -- there are a couple of mismatched photos on the website, including a 1958 BMW 600 that is labeled as a 1970 Pontiac LeMans, and a Shelby Cobra "project" described as a 1955 Packard 400.
Check in early . . . the Crosleys and the King Midget are slated to sell on day two of the auction.
(While we are very interested in the outcome of the sale, we have no financial interest in the auction.)
