Still looking for:
(1) My Dad's 1955 356 (he raced it amateur-class at Riverside and other courses during 1950s),
(2) My parent's black 1955 hardtop bug (CA license plate FWC 201 or FWG 201), and
(3) My parent's agave green 1957 ragtop bug (CA license plate LFK 734).

Yes, I saw a very nicely made video by some famous automotive Brit who was permitted to drive this car and give his impressions (you could almost smell it). All in all, an excellent look at a landmark car.

Was seemingly quickly bid to 70 million... but it was only an enunciation error by the auctioneer... and what he meant was 17 million... but people in the room said there were no actual bids... only chandelier bids... and at the end it was a no sale at 17 million... so who knows what it really will sell for... weird. Kinda sad after all the effort put out by the sellers and auction company. Will be interesting to see what actually becomes of this little teardrop. See my other post for a link to the video of the mistaken pronunciations:

I've never heard the term 'chandelier bid'. Please enlighten me.
