A good year for 45's at Scottsdale Barrett-Jackson this year

I'm told both of these were from House of Cruisers, don't think I've seen a 45 pickup go for this kind of money before.... $110k each!

I watched that, it seems overall cars went for higher premium this year no matter what they were.

Those 2 appeared to be beautiful restorations, at least to me they did.

Interesting. House of Cruisers. Never heard of them. I guess I live under a rock.
Website looks good though.

House of Cruisers is the guys that brought my 28 wagon to the US. They’ve also supplied a couple of early cruisers to the museum in SLC. Guessing they didn’t restore mine because they knew what a bear of a job it was going to be, and they figured they could find some sucker (me!) to buy it as is!

Well, the sucker (you), is doing it justice!

Agree, they did a solid job on those two. Love the removable top 45s.

i feel like I’ve barely started! But I’m going to do my best.

It's gonna be awesome. Once the bodywork is done, then it's a party every weekend.
