Spotted this while browsing.  Only KF in the lot but looks nice.  Fid needs another one! Minnesota I think -

Minnesota I think -

You can't get much closer to me than Rosemount, MN. I've not heard of this person nor seen the car. It always amazes me  how many '54s continue to surface.  This one has a color combination on it I like.  I don't think I'll be going after it but it's interesting that it's this close to me and I was unaware all these years. I'll be driving through Rosemount later this afternoon when I head the Hastings Saturday Night car rally.

I go to these auctions a lot of time just for the fun of it with no intention to buy. I’ll get a paddle and bid on a few but I want a bargain so usually get outbid.  I will be going to the Clear Lake Iowa auction with the idea.  You never know when or if the money will run out.

Quite an eclectic collection for sure. That '47 International truck was a surprise, I had no idea anyone was still making anything with a chain drive that late.
The "cannon ball" safe is also fairly unique, I've only seen, or even heard of one other.
