Kruse International to Auction the Life-Long Collection of Bobby Wiggins -

At No Reserve

For Immediate Release

August 15, 2005

Monteagle, TN - On Saturday, October 15^th, at Bobby Wiggins’ private collection, Kruse International will call bids on one of the most extensive, award winning, and breath-taking Chevrolet collections in the world.

For 40 years, Bobby Wiggins has been hand selecting Chevrolets based on rust-free quality, featured options, and low miles.  After purchasing the cars, if restoration was needed, only correct, original, genuine GM stock parts were ever used.  Nearly every car is in the 100 point category, and representatives from General Motors have acknowledged the Wiggins’ collection as the finest assemblage of Chevrolets known to exist. 

Bobby Wiggins had no intentions of selling this collection when he first started adopting these Chevys in his “family.”  He collected these remarkable automobiles out of the love he has for all models of Chevrolets.  This passion is obvious after seeing how he treats “his children.”  For showing the interior of the cars, Bobby uses kid gloves (a handkerchief kept in his pocket) on the handles.  The museum itself is absolutely spotless.  There is not a speck of dust in this all weather, climate controlled building.

Along with the Chevys from nearly every year, there are other vehicles and memorabilia set to be auctioned; including a 1937 Packard Twelve 1508 Seven Passenger Touring Sedan.  Only 8 such cars were ever built and only 3 are known to still exist.  The 27,220 square foot museum on 10.7 acres will also be auctioned (with a reserve).  The memorabilia and all of the vehicles will be selling to the highest bidder…regardless of price.  This is a complete No Reserve auction, the only one of its kind.  This auction will also be broadcast live on www.eBayliveauctions.com.  Every car will be pictured with a description so anyone in the world (with a computer) can bid on any car.  Bidder registration can be done by emailing or calling Tom Hoffer at tom@kruse.com, or 800-968-4444.

This is truly and without a doubt a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  Please call 800-968-4444 or visit www.kruse.com for more information and to request a full color catalog with complete descriptions.
