money Harry Patterson's car collection to be auctioned off
Bidders will have a chance to own some automotive history this month as the contents of Harry Patterson’s Crazy Cars Museum goes on the auction block.
About 35 vehicles will be for sale, in addition to other items.
Gee Auction will handle the bidding beginning at the museum at 1602 Midwestern Parkway at 3:07 p.m. on June 24. Auctioneer Mickey Gee said everything in the building will be for sale.
The collection was owned by the late Harry Patterson, owner of several car dealerships and a local philanthropist.
“Some are personal cars and some he bought and collected and had them re-done,” Gee said.
He said the museum closed about three months ago.
Gee said the auction is generating a lot of interest.
“We got lots of calls coming in from people all over the world,” he said. “Some of the cars are real rare and there just some real classy nice cars.”
In addition to cars, a wagon, gas pump, barber pole, motorcycle, fire engine, and several signs will be for sale.
Gee said it will be a no-reserve auction.
“Everything sells for what it brings,” he said.
Online proxy bids will also be open through the auction company’s website or Facebook page.
“While we’re selling live, they can be pushing a button on a computer bidding at the same time,” Gee said.
People can get an advanced look at the items 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. June 22 and June 23.
