| I didn't see this auction discussed anywhere, so forgive me if this is a duplicate, but there are several Forward Look cars at the auction in Ft. Lauderdale this weekend. https://ftlauderdaleauction.com/?page=home Anyone here going? I'm wondering what the '57 Fireflite will do. https://ftlauderdaleauction.com/?page=home&MAKE=DESOTO |

| It looks like you're right, the New Yorker is still shown on the museum website:

Is anyone here attending the auction?

Location: Branson, MO | Being a DeSoto nut, I pulled up DeSotos that are scheduled to run. Lo and behold there is a '59 Firedome 4D sedan that looks almost identical to my Firesweep. I'd sure like to know what this baby brings. Anyone out there that knows how to find out? Is there a way to see results?
Thanks!

| Looking at the website now, they show "sold" on less than half of the cars that ran today (#0-#399), but no prices.
The Firedome looks pretty good, as does the '59 Fury.
I'm curious about what the '57 Fireflite goes for.

Location: Branson, MO | Saw where the '57 and '59 DeSotos did not sell but are on the board for $60,000.00 and $35,000.00 respectively and open to offers.

| $60K seems like a strong ask for the Fireflite considering there's red overspray in the engine compartment and on the hood bumpers. It does have nice brightwork and lenses though. |

Location: Under the X in Texas | That's the unique Lejins' '58 Regal Lancer. Wonder why it was auctioned. |
