Thanks for sharing.  Smart guy probably would have purchased all of the cars (including the cool Studebaker) in that first photo and put them on ice.  After storing the cars, he would then go back and purchase all of the beach front property seen in both photos at market rates plus a tip for the seller.

Is the red convertible with the stainless on the quarter lowers a Eldorado Biarittz?  Should it have skirts?  Looks like two door cars were definitely the hot thing.  I remember that.

Yes, the rear RH skirt is missing on that red 1954 Eldorado [no "Biarritz" until 1956].

It really is fun to see these! It does speak to the rarity of Convertibles and Eldorados !
