Sam returns to the annual New England Auto Auction hosted at the Owl's Head Transportation Museum.
The auction catalog calls it a '63, but it has a '61 grille. It was also one of two blue Falcon 'verts in the auction.
The right photo shows its two-speed Ruckstell axle.
This was the oldest car in the auction.
Possibly the same car I photographed last year, although with a different owner.
A couple was looking to buy this for their grandkids to ride around in when I photographed it.
This one was a good ten-footer, with plenty of mud in the quarters and bad chrome.
22 years separate this and the '52 Chevy from above, but they look like they belong to different centuries.
This car had rust in the usual places, but it was solid structurally. Not a bad project car.
"Look at that S-Cargo!" No Eddie Murphy needed.
This car was mint.
This was a beautiful car. Someone put a tiny hole in the top, though.
This Chrysler supposedly has 3.8K miles on it. I'm Not sure if it's original or restored.
Mild custom with non-factory interior and wheels. It still has the flat six! The front ends of the fenders had been brush painted, too.
Older restoration holding up quite well.
The rear bumper was removed and body contoured to its shape.
Body by Brunn & Co.
This Polara was mislabeled as a Coronet in the catalog.
1949 F-1 on the left and 1951 F-3 on the right.
1982 was the only year Dodge put turbine wheels on their trucks, according to description left by the owner.
This T-Bird was a barn find car that has been put back on the road.
This Comet was similar the one I looked at, but a lot nicer. This one had a 260 in it, too.
Originally a Florida car, the floors and trunk are original. The owner was selling because he moved and lost the space. Hopefully it finds a good new home!
Possibly an original paint car.
Beautiful car. Too bad the hood flew open on it at some point.
The real deal.
Believed to have the original drivetrain.

This Chevy features a custom two-tone paint scheme.
An OJ Bronco (well, almost).
