It is actually one of the lots for sale at one of the Mecum auctions (seems they do a separate memorabilia auction), so I don't know where it was taken.

Most of the lot # pictures online look like they were taken at the owner's house/location. Kind of cool, makes it more interesting.

It looks like the picture was taken @ Bob McDorman's place in Ohio.

I just got a catalog in the mail for this auction: RM AUCTIONS | Classic Car Auctions Company

There's a beautiful 1962 Corvette and some GREAT old signs and Petroliana!

The Milhous brothers built their own museum in Boca Raton, Florida to house their collections. It looks like they're selling it all off. It's worth a look - just be sure to put a drool shield on your computer keyboard!!

The classic/collector car list includes a couple XLRs and a number of other cadillacs. Should be interesting....

Just sending a quick update on the XLRs that were listed for last week's Mecum Auction. Although I was not present the day they were auctioned the result list records that the 2007 sold for a bid of $38,500 and the 2006 did not sell but received a high bid of $37,000.

Likely that both XLRs are on tape and the bidding will be replayed on
Velocity periodically.

I saw a number of very nice cars last weekend. Fortunately I left my check book at home......
