Antique Car & Estate Sale by Vivian - car prices & more pixs

 Hello, Everyone,

It is an honor and a priviledge to provide to you the estate sale of Ray and Clara Clemons of Shiner, Texas.  

As we have worked preparing this over the last few weeks, I have discovered that many of the items in this sale were purchased when the family owned the Historical Dilworth Home in Gonzales built in 1912.  The Clemons family purchased the Dilworth home and lived there for many years.  

We have moved all the estate items to be sold from the family home and storage in Shiner to the Wolters Brothers building (downtown Shiner) to include 9 classic cars.  

What I know about the estate sale items and the vehicles is based on what the family has disclosed to me and on the fine reputation of the Clemons family.

Payment for vehicles will be cash and certified checks, no credit/debit cards.

I will accept cash, credit card, debit card on all other items.

You may leave a "non-refundable deposit" on a big ticket item to secure it.

I have included many photos of the area shops and restaurants for you to visit while you are in the Shiner area even though they are not part of this estate sale.

My phone is ringing off the wall from all over Texas and then some.  I will be glad to answer your questions when I am available.  I may not get a chance to answer emails or voice mails until after the sale.  You may stand a better chance of getting me by texting.

See you at the sale,

Vivian

NOTE ON VEHICLES: The vehicles were setup for display years ago.  The family told us that they were properly setup for storage with tanks empty and other preservation steps taken.  (We don't know any other details).  Before they were setup for storage the family said they were driven regularly.  The cars have very low mileage - only one car, the Chevrolet pickup has over 100,000 miles and it has 103,000.  Most have less than 50,000 miles.
