Warner Bros. Studios Collection - File 1 of 2 - yEnc "warner01.jpg" 256441 bytes (0/3)

These are photos of some of the vehicles (189 cars & trucks and 1 boat)that
were purchased from Warner Bros. Studios in the early 1970's and sold from
a warehouse in North Hollywood, CA. A single ad was run in Hemmings Motor
News and people came from around the world to see and buy these cars. A few
were unsold after the 2-month lease expired on the warehouse and were
driven to San Diego where they were sold. The 1938 Cadillac Town Car
pictured was my personal driver for a couple of months untii I traded it
for a Silver Wraith Rolls. The one car I kept waas a 1957 Mercury Montclair
convertible that was used in the movie Viva Las Vegas. No, I do not still
have it.

Great photos, Postum. I'd have chosen the 38 Cadillac too, I think, and can
certainly imagine picking the 57 Merc convertible. Do you have any pictures
of these and any other of your cars to share? I'd love to see more of both
of these.

Sorry. I happenend to have my Polaroid with me one day and these are the
only photos that were ever taken that I an aware of except those by the
visitors. I anyone wants I'll be glad to scan and post the full size
versions.

I've been out of the car field for quite a while now but may have a few
photos of some other cars. If I run across them, I'll put them up.

Hi Dick, Seeing that you're offering to post the larger size, yes please.
I'll be looking for them and I know there are lots of others who will be
interested as well. Thanks in advance.
