GM Auctioning Off Classic Cars
In an effort to cut maintenance costs and generate capital, General Motors is auctioning off some 200 cars from its 1,000-plus collection, including a rejected Popemobile and a replica presidential limousine used in the film In The Line Of Fire. Here are some of the other cars on the block.
1963 Oldsmobile Cutlass that drove through Dealey Plaza mere hours after JFK was assassinated
1976 Chevrolet Monte Carlo that appears briefly at a stoplight in Network
1983 concept peach-flavored Cadillac
1996 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi, the one and only car that GM did not recall that year
Car Tony Danza lived out of in the 1970s
1984 Honda Civic GM bought to see how decent cars were built
1998 Chevrolet Silverado pickup with a cassette of Bob Seger's "Like A Rock" stuck in its auto-reverse tape deck
The $25 million luxury "jet-car" that can fly through the air at speeds of 500 mph, specially designed for GM executives after they caught flack for using private jets to attend the bailout hearings
