Everything is bigger in Texas! The Rick Smith Collection Auction

For our money, this rose-and-white 1956 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Starfire convert is the most interesting in the bunch. It looks like it was probably a decent car when it was parked in the yard, but then the top disintegrated, quickly followed by the floors, and then the moisture from the earth started to eat it from the bottom up. Let's hope this nearly complete car was saved, at least for parts.
