02.09.2006 LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO TO BE AUCTIONED OFF FOR CHARITY

Kruse International is pairing up with Ward Leber and the Child Safety Network to auction a new, celebrity-autographed Lamborghini Gallardo. The Child Safety Network (CSN) is a 17-year old charitable trust and is the leading distributor of safety information for families in the United States.

The Auburn Fall Kruse Collector Car Auction, which started on August 30th and runs through to September 5th, 2006, takes place at the Kruse Auction Park. Kruse is the world's first and largest antique, classic, and exotic collector car auction company. Kruse is expecting 5,000 cars and over 150,000 people.

Lamborghini has provided a Lamborghini Gallardo sportscar to the Child Safety Network and Kruse will be donating their services again this year to CSN to help auction off this one-of-a-kind car. This Gallardo has travelled from Beverly Hills to Las Vegas to New York and will land in Auburn, IN at the Kruse Auction Park. A string of celebrities have signed sign this special car including Randy Travis, Kifer Sutherland, Hugh Heffner, Bruce Willis, Paula Abdul, Silvester Stallone, John Lovitz, Ed Asner, Samuel L. Jackson, Jon Voight, Jewel and many more. Proceeds from the sale of this car will go to the Child Safety Network to continue to help prevent children from being abused, abducted, injured and exploited. Kruse International is proud to be a part of such a great cause.

Titled as the 50th Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival it is being called the: “Year of the Mighty Duesenberg", and several of these cars will be auctioned at the 36th annual Auburn Classic Car Auction and Show. Most significant of these will be a 1930 Duesenberg J-276 LaGrande dual cowl Phaeton - which will be sold this Sunday.

Kruse expects this car - which came with two separate bodies made the same chassis, one for summer and one for winter - and a 2002-restored 1932 Auburn 12 Boattail Speedster, one of just six Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club-certified original Auburn 12 Speedsters, will fetch excellent prices. Other celebrity cars at the Kruse will include the 25-foot long "Batmobile" used in the film "Batman Forever". Fully restored this car is fitted with a General Motors V8, 350 cubic-inch engine.
