John
Moir has been described as a "towering figure in the AACA world," but
the amiable New Hampshire collector is perhaps best known for his
assemblage of automobiles representing each letter in the alphabet. Most
are in pristine condition, but one model, a 1956 Volkswagen Type 1, is
in a clear state of disrepair, covered in decades of barn dirt. When the
John Moir collection crosses the stage next month in Hershey,
Pennsylvania, other automobiles from his inventory will have greater
historical significance (and higher selling prices), but few will have
the sentimental value of the tired VW Beetle.
See this ancient beetle on Hemmings Daily.
