The Bruce Weiner Microcar Museum - RM Auctions



.

Estimated to bring 30-40k per vehicle sounds a little high to me. But very well might be I supose.

Figures, I had my opportunity to go to the museum last summer but at the last minute I had to bail out. Looks like I missed my opportunity.

I've always had a strange attraction to microcars. As a taller than average semi-fat dude, the vision of me trying to extricate myself from, say, a Peel strikes me as hilarious.

I hate to see any museum go under, yet when I look at the picture on the main page that is not a museum; rather it is a warehouse with the way those cars stacked so tight.

I wonder if the Bruce Wiener Microcar Museum has a one of the 'oh-so-rare' Oscar Meyer Vienna Weinermobiles in it's collection? IIRC, there were only seven made and those were canned pretty early on...

Anything "spring powered"?

I'll let you know, I've been asked by someone to attend on their behalf and possibly bid. We'll see how that works out, am on the list for the auction already

The auctioneers have put a caviar price on these tuna cars,chumming the water for big fish .If they get some Japenese buyer its back up with the prices ,they love small cars and love their tuna even more.
