- The Auction of Elmer's Auto and Toy Museum was fascinating to watch. We thought others would be interested in seeing what parts of this collection of a life time sold for. Over 100 Rare, low mileage, original, classic, muscle and vintage cars, over 150 motorcycles,
hundreds of bicycles, over 700 pedal cars, and other items went across the auction block September 14-17, 2022.
If you would like to hear from his son and and his friend the stories behind this amazing collection we have two other videos highlighting the cars, and other vehicles.

I just met and talked with the guy that bought the '62 Oldsmobile Starfire over the weekend. The car is absolutely beautiful and he had it out for a ride. WOW!!!!
That is so cool! We always thought it would be a neat video to trace down where the cars went. The Dahl auto museum bought the aquacar. When we were there a year ago they didn't have it ready for display.
Great video. I really appreciate putting prices on these items. Thanks!
We were fascinated to see what things went for.
Wow! Thank you so much for putting this together in this way. So amazing to see. I grew up on the Honda Trail 70...I couldn't believe the price!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Wish we had bought some things!
I just did the ELMERS GRAVEYARD Hike through all the old cats. It was great fun.
That sounds fun! We should look into that. Thanks for letting us know!
@@Lovenesters The hike is twice a year, in spring & fall. I recommend it highly.
This is a very nice review of the auction and the prices. VERY GOOD JOB.
Thank you. It was so fascinating to see what everything went for.
Thanks for the tour! Looked like a lot of fun!
Thanks for watching. This place was incredible. We were so glad to see it and film before it all went to auction.
Some of those numbers on the pedalcars are crazy. My family does pedal cars and that dozer was absolutely crazy. We had one we just that was in 95% or better all original and sold for less than 1/2 that. That's an auction you never know what people are going to pay. I loom at it this way if you have the money and you will enjoy it, then it's just money.
Auction fever. We were surprised too. With so many for sale I guess it brought in some major collectors. We have a second video that features a lot more pedal cars if you are interested
Some of these prices are crazy to me! Thanks for doing this video. I was wondering how the auction went.
Thanks Karen, this was such a true Hidden Gem, it would have been fun to be at the auction.
$242k on a non runner clearly exposed to decades of humidity (check the mecum pictures for a peek under the hood of the vehicles and mold on some interiors) is beyond logic. A numbers matching turn key car brings about $125k these days. And the $70k C3 does have 5 miles on it, still ridiculous but that explains where some brains may have lost sight of reality. Great video guys loved it
And the pinto lol $8800! Haha Your $800 bid was on the money in my book. I wonder if there was some shill bidding or some other foolishness going on here. Some were priced right if not maybe a little cheap but most were suspiciously high
Auction fever.
70.4K for a 78 corvette is just plain nuts.
yes i agree
Auction Fever
I read that the auction reached $8.5 million in total overall sales......Incredible 🤯
Yes they had a very successful sale!
I was there 2 years before auction.
I hope you got to meet Elmer. We were able to meet his kids and they were all so welcoming. I understand the toy barn is still there and the museum has limited opening times.
Nice job of editing the piece.
Thank you. We appreciate that.
Just absolutely insane that Chevel selling for that amount the bidders must have been drunk and dumb. Maybe jusstttt maybe if the car was in showroom condition with no miles on it but wow........
Yeah I would love to know the back story on the bidders.
yeah i had a suzuki 90 when i was a kid, my dad bought it for me for 150 dollars, had really wide tires for going over rocks and logs, very slow, lumbering bike
Fun Fact Suzuki made a vanvan that is similar but they stopped making it in 2021.
Elmer had two Mopar Winged cars. A Plymouth Super Bird and a Dodge Charger Daytona. One of them he had raced on a local dirt track and the other he bought just to add to his collection. I don't remember which was which. They never made the auction, so maybe one of the kids kept them or they were sold prior to the auction. I know he had a lot of kids and some of them to over the parts business from Elmer.
Sounds like you knew Elmer. We would have loved to have met him and heard more of the stories behind the collection. He certainly had a passion for wheels.
@@Lovenesters I only met him once years ago. We were at the collection when he would open it up. Spent a lot of hours looking at all that he had collected. Lots and lots of pedal cars.
@@thomasst.martin3308 That Pedal car collection was world class.
The 2 wing cars were sold by Elmer before he died.
@@neilhunthunt9621 thanks for the update
Overall, I'd say they got really good money. There's always some items you think are going big but you have to have the bidders! Some great opportunities for folks without deep pockets!
A few things that went for 50 bucks would have been fun to bid on.
Thanks for the info. Wasn't there a tractor auction from this museum?
There were pedal tractors that were for sale. They were too hard to identify so I did not include. I did not see any large tractors on site.
Our matching numbers 51 mgtd went for 31000 god bless
The prices were amazing.
Thanks,,when i visited Elmers for a private visit, set up by business associates ,,,that was early 90s,,,He had a large barn full of smaller Diecasts, steel, tin toys,,in cases and shelves etc,,my type of collectible,, anyway thru all these sales,,i have seen NO info what so ever as to what has happened to those very valuable part of Elmers collections..any answers if they are gone or future plans for there sale…
We are under the impression that they will be sold in a separate auction - but have not seen a date for that. We did film that barn and it is in our second video called "Elmer's auto & toy Museum tour 2022 | Largest pedal car collection". It is in the second half of the video. That collection was massive!
I visited last month. All toys are still there in a separate building. Not part of the auction. I am not aware of any plans to sell the toys.
@@daveyendrzeski5574 thanks for the update
The auction house got the last laff, these cars all were overpriced like a well oiled 'sting operation '.
