I saw that 67 Ermine coupe!! I've been looking for one just like that, it was an air car too!! Oh well, just not at the right place at the right time. One thing i've learned about these auctions is, It's you can't tell anything about these cars on TV... You've got to inspect them yourself!!

Yeah, I looked at that one in the corral and it was a beauty. The Ermine 67 was nice too. We'll see what today brings!
