He was a pilot, a lion tamer, an honorary fire marshal, and a decorated war hero.<br /><br />He bought 2 Deusenburgs new in 1929, and owned a total of 6.<br /><br />Born into great wealth, Whittell barreled through life at full-throttle, collecting exotic animals, elegant automobiles and boats, beautiful women, contentious lawsuits and 27 miles of Lake Tahoe's Nevada shoreline along the way. He was one of the more notorious playboys of California and Nevada, indulging in a succession of marriages and liaisons that fueled the region's gossip mills. A recluse in his later years, Whittell shunned publicity, and, in doing so, inspired speculation about his every move. By the time of his death in 1969, he had become the stuff of legend.<br /><br />One grandfather invested in the gold rush claims, the other opened a merchants bank. Both made an incredible amount of money and passed it along to their heirs. When his mother inherited she received 9 million. That was a hundred years ago money.<br /><br />George graduated high school and joined the Barnum and Bailey Circus, met Frank Buck, and bankrolled the both of them with his allowance. Yes, his allowance. This was more than enough to get these new partners into the African Safari business, sideline of animal capture for American circus supply.<br /><br />Just before the 1906 San Fran earthquake, George was back in town, and with great automobiles... and a friend that later went on to own Seabiscuit, Charles Howard, became heros by saving friends and family and possessions duringhte subsequent fires that destroyed San Francisco<br /><br />Just before WW1, George was in Europe, learning 7 launguages fluently and enjoying Paris and universities.. .his parents purchased him a captaincy in the Italian Army. He served as an ambulance driver on the front, transferring later to the French Army and to the U.S. Army when the United States entered the war in 1917. Distinguishing himself for "valor under fire", George was decorated by the Allied governments.<br /><br />His father left him a 30 million dollar inheritance, in 1926 money. <br /><br />The stock market crash, which his 50 million dollar withdrawal may have influenced, left many selling property, and George took advantage of the sale of Carson & Tahoe Lumber and Fluming Company and other landholders who had not fared well in the stock market crash. Eventually acquiring from them over 40,000 acres of land on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, including 27 miles of the shoreline. He had the Thunderbird Lodge built, and the 55 foot speedboat Thunderbird commisioned (Only getting 83 hours of enjoyment of it in a half dozen years before storing it for 25 years, and then selling to to Harrah), and a small guest house was built for card games with his friends like Howard Hughes, and Ty Cobb<br /><br />Among his collection of vehicles of note were a DC-2, outfitted for his private use, a Grumman Duck seaplane, six of the most uncommon Duesenberg motorcars, a 145' pleasure yacht and the legendary 55' speedboat, <i>Thunderbird</i>. The latter is certainly one of the most unique and elegant wooden vessels crafted in the Twentieth century and, like his Duesenbergs, is as much a work of art as a means of transportation<br /><br />duesenburg photo from <a href="http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2011/autos/1108/gallery.pebble_beach_auctions/2.html">http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2011/autos/1108/gallery.pebble_beach_auctions/2.html</a><br />Biographical info from <a href="http://thunderbirdlodge.org/theman">http://thunderbirdlodge.org/theman</a><br /><br />One of his Duesenburgs <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2bBK49DqXOqXuRuzPZU_Sy_A_ix8NExQEgaNSeLXTUuKm2vzj5x4rN2Vv84nyb1figqqu0GFFubYT4XEKugaUcRiVtV5URYjxWr6XOkWkYLTA1idqiX5tH0iJknYC3caiDLcBXPgso8TQ/s1600/duesey33.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hda="true" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2bBK49DqXOqXuRuzPZU_Sy_A_ix8NExQEgaNSeLXTUuKm2vzj5x4rN2Vv84nyb1figqqu0GFFubYT4XEKugaUcRiVtV5URYjxWr6XOkWkYLTA1idqiX5tH0iJknYC3caiDLcBXPgso8TQ/s640/duesey33.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Whittell's 1933 Duesenberg, a Weymann Fishtail Speedster, was amazing, but because he was told it looked like a Holstein cow, George drove it only once in 30 years.

(didn't sell) <br /><br />The 1949 Triumph Trophy TR5 was featured on the beloved sitcom “Happy Days.” Even without the Fonz connection, the bike would have a famous pedigree since it was owned by stuntman, racer and Triumph dealer Bud Ekins — a guy even cooler than Fonzie himself. He’s best known for dyeing his hair blonde and performing the stunts that studios wouldn’t allow his friend Steve McQueen to do, including the fence jump at the end of The Great Escape and some of the driving in Bullit<br /><br />When Happy Days needed an authentic bike for Fonzie, Ekins obliged by removing the bike’s front fender, spray-painting the gas tank silver and replacing the handlebars.<br /><br />Henry Winkler, who played the Fonz, couldn’t ride a motorcycle. Winkler told Emmy TV Legends that he rammed the bike into a sound truck the first time he tried to ride it. From that day on, the crew pulled him and the motorcycle on a board.<br /><br />The bike is in need of a lot of repairs. The speedometer is broken, it's rusted and hasn’t run since the 1970s, according to the New York Times. Despite the bike’s condition, it was expected to fetch between $60,000 and $80,000.<br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gMxkMy9JvXI?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe><br /><a href="http://www.wired.com/autopia/2011/10/ayy-fonzies-bike-is-for-sale/">http://www.wired.com/autopia/2011/10/ayy-fonzies-bike-is-for-sale/</a><br /><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/celebritology/post/fonzies-happy-days-motorcycle-up-for-sale-photo/2011/10/11/gIQAWOiFcL_blog.html">http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/celebritology/post/fonzies-happy-days-motorcycle-up-for-sale-photo/2011/10/11/gIQAWOiFcL_blog.html</a><br /><br /><object height="268" id="otvPlayer" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/static/flash/embeddedPlayer/swf/otvEmLoader.swf?version=&station=kabc§ion=&mediaId=8429329&cdnRoot=http://cdn.abclocal.go.com&webRoot=http://abclocal.go.com&configPath=/util/&site=" ></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed id="otvPlayer" width="400" height="268" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allownetworking="all" allowfullscreen="true" src="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/static/flash/embeddedPlayer/swf/otvEmLoader.swf?version=&station=kabc§ion=&mediaId=8429329&cdnRoot=http://cdn.abclocal.go.com&webRoot=http://abclocal.go.com&configPath=/util/&site="></embed></object><br /><br />also up for auction are James Garner's former Oldsmobile Racer (didn't sell) , Fast and the Furious '94 Toyota Supra(sold for $21,000), and Tom Cruise's futuristic Lexus (sold at $101,000) from the "Minority Report", though the winning bidder can't actually take it on the road. <a href="http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/car_tips&id=8429328">http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/car_tips&id=8429328</a><br /><br />some photos from <a href="http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.sh/WService=wslive_pub/pubweb/publicSite.r">http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.sh/WService=wslive_pub/pubweb/publicSite.r</a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRz7gCAn6hqrkenciAOc7Fcq9X8Q8LyTrDbFJvMPHcOzQMciAjKodHUiQIKjd7syLZ7Gy1HDndu0Yr-9_fCCFzxdB2-v9y9IhDKJ31HW95yRyrWV3p0QEYscz4oZH-9Czd8WcBibeVCJn1/s1600/wer.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRz7gCAn6hqrkenciAOc7Fcq9X8Q8LyTrDbFJvMPHcOzQMciAjKodHUiQIKjd7syLZ7Gy1HDndu0Yr-9_fCCFzxdB2-v9y9IhDKJ31HW95yRyrWV3p0QEYscz4oZH-9Czd8WcBibeVCJn1/s640/wer.bmp" width="596" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHRystodXsDkA1xUH8lMMzx6XC55wtXok0PPmaDgvg-IwsC8HXg3n2EH73nsjG_3RHMTRbMbnlXyvzQP07A6DNkl9q7QV-bDGtMVc_JZM6vTFHj5pFfrW8PxqVKlVu1DxQO-wUInaR1iDU/s1600/ergbgt.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="296" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHRystodXsDkA1xUH8lMMzx6XC55wtXok0PPmaDgvg-IwsC8HXg3n2EH73nsjG_3RHMTRbMbnlXyvzQP07A6DNkl9q7QV-bDGtMVc_JZM6vTFHj5pFfrW8PxqVKlVu1DxQO-wUInaR1iDU/s640/ergbgt.bmp" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQk_c6kUIyKpLpidJ87Mhi-eFtkn2K5zRU7O8as0lgmffiS_Ze3uJRwrMICfkTlRyZCrHNlbTUI7B7hZmPHw-lAiz_H2OJ_5ttlhV59MNpZmP68o8bt4GpYMjTEiKp1BWWHLizDjIillpa/s1600/asdfdg.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="312" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQk_c6kUIyKpLpidJ87Mhi-eFtkn2K5zRU7O8as0lgmffiS_Ze3uJRwrMICfkTlRyZCrHNlbTUI7B7hZmPHw-lAiz_H2OJ_5ttlhV59MNpZmP68o8bt4GpYMjTEiKp1BWWHLizDjIillpa/s640/asdfdg.bmp" width="640" /></a></div></div>

In it, he stored about 80 cars, 40 motorcycles, 100 bicycles and thousands of pieces of automobilia. He had what experts called one of the most complete collections of license plates in the United States<br /><br />A 1912 Harley-Davidson Single-Cylinder Belt Drive, believed to be among the best 1912 examples in the world, brought $115,000. <br />original bicycles were highlighted by a like-new 1934 Iver Johnson, an Elgin Bluebird and a Schwinn Aerocycle, which individually sold for $5,175 each. <br /><br />Lee Hartung Collection Auctions America by RM – Top 10 Auction Results<br /><br />1. 1911 Flying Merkel Twin Belt Drive – $201,250<br />2. 1950 Veritas BMW – $195,500<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx2V9CWt2UhaUO58xgW3Nt6jp1L23EM5Q1I24YfDVeGulns__6eD9HlBqRZWYgynKf1ssRih5ffkvXMsTxqBIC2RoJogu1xExCa_FvJw3t4332gKUu1wTT5e9RYHTEhJMMP8AsAq-ai8Qq/s1600/egr.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="382" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx2V9CWt2UhaUO58xgW3Nt6jp1L23EM5Q1I24YfDVeGulns__6eD9HlBqRZWYgynKf1ssRih5ffkvXMsTxqBIC2RoJogu1xExCa_FvJw3t4332gKUu1wTT5e9RYHTEhJMMP8AsAq-ai8Qq/s640/egr.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> The 1949 Veritas was built by BMW and bodied by Spohn, the German coachworks company.
