As you probably know the Barrett-Jackson auction was held here in West Palm Beach a couple of weeks ago. My friend Doug Bukuley called me, he is John Staluppi's No. 1 man, to tell me John Staluppi bought 17 cars at the aution for over 1-1/2 Mil. He did a post auction offer on a 1957 Desoto Adventurer Convertible because it did not make reserve. He paid $225,000.00 for it. He invited me over to the Museum to take a look because he knew I have a 1960 Desoto Adventurer, so I took some pitchuhs to share wif yous guys. The 59 Dodge is in the foyer of the museum. The packard and Fiat are new to the museum, those two guys are my friends Doug and Bogie.

Dick,
You have told us so much about this car museum that we are starting to believe that you made up this John Staluppi. Isn't it true that these cars are actually yours and this museum story is to hide them from Yvonne?
I love your collection and you have great taste in cars! You do drive the cars around every now and then I hope, they are much too nice to be hidden inside and should be shown on the road at least once a month
Will the Dodge fit in my Christmas stocking?
Ron
PS when we return to Florida you will have to take me there!

Ron - I wish, I keep pressuring Doug to find me a job. Just cleaning them and being around them would probably be almost as good as owning them, seeing as one (me) could never actually own them.
Dick.
