Charles, This car was also offered on ebay a couple times several months ago.  I believe the ad stated it was part of the Bortz collection.

I had heard this car was to be offered for sale at the Kruse Spring Auburn auction this year, but did not hear whether it sold, or how much the high bid was.

Our auction reporter, Phil Skinner, recorded the car as a no sale after a high bid of $50,000 at the Kruse spring sale in Auburn.

This car was at the Kruse auction and I did see it.  Very interesting car.  I wish I had taken some color pictures to send to Yann.  The car was very intriquing.  It is the kind of car that belongs in a museum.  The passenger seat was occupied by the toaster, knive and spoon holder, etc.  The top bid was $50,000 and it did not sell.
