SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) - A 1978 Corvette Indianapolis 500 pace car with only 7.8 miles on the odometer and a 1911 Model T light delivery truck described as "Mr. Pedro's Pie Wagon" were put up for auction Saturday at Shreveport's Antique & Classic Car Museum. But bids never reached the unannounced minimum prices for the Model T truck or the Corvette, so they were not sold. Everything in the museum was for sale, from a 1926 Essex Super 6 to a one-horse open sleigh made in 1899, and the life-size model horse that posed in front of it. The Essex brought $6,300, a 1930 Model A truck $4,250 and a 1970 Cadillac DeVille with a gold paint job $3,300. The sleigh sold for $750, and the horse statue for $650. Founder Francene Miller announced in May that the museum was closing. Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
