U.S. Army 1956 Chevy raises $1 million at auction for Honor Flight charity
Fox News
A 1956 Chevrolet 150 that was originally used as a U.S. Army Staff car was sold twice on Saturday's Barrett-Jackson auction in Houston to raise $1 million for the Honor Flight charity.
The car had previously been auctioned at Barrett-Jackson's Las Vegas event in June for the same cause for $70,000, but the buyer sent it across the block as a charity lot again in Houston.
The partially restored sedan was first won by a $425,000 placed by Enduro Pipeline Services of Tulsa, Okla., but was immediately put it up for auction once more, as sometimes happens at charity auctions, and sold again to collector John Burkland of La Grange, Tex., for $400,000.
