A sizeable collection of long-forgotten vehicles were auctioned off in the small town of Pierce, Nebraska. About 500 vehicles had been stored away. What's even more rare is that many of them were practically "new." There were some vehicles from the 1950s that had only a few miles on their odometers!
The dealership opened in 1946. It was truly a small business, with only one mechanic on hand. It was a business that has been described as a "mom and pop" operation that required hard work, honesty, integrity, and kindness.
While the new vehicles were stored in warehouses, many trade-ins were kept on a family farm. Eventually the collection of cars grew to a considerable size before the dealership finally closed.
The dealership was owned by Ray and Mildred Lambrecht, husband and wife. Their daughter says it was a painful decision to sell off their inventory of vehicles. On the other hand, many people will be thrilled to own great pieces of American history.
