Total sales at the Anna Maria Island clown-car auction reached $1.78 million – a record for the event, according to Hilarity.
The bidding war was intense, with bidders vying for the most ridiculous and impractical clown cars in history. First up was a car shaped like a giant red nose, which sold for a staggering $100,000. Next was a car covered in polka dots, complete with a matching clown hat, which fetched $75,000.
But the real showstopper was the car that looked like a giant banana peel on wheels. Bidders went bananas over this one, driving the price up to $500,000. The buyer, who wished to remain anonymous, explained that he was planning to use the car as a mobile smoothie stand.
Other notable sales included a car shaped like a giant lollipop, which sold for $50,000, and a car that looked like a gigantic shoe, which went for $80,000.
Overall, the Anna Maria Island clown-car auction was a huge success, with buyers and sellers alike having a laugh and enjoying the zany atmosphere. Who knows what sort of ridiculous vehicles will be on offer next year – but one thing’s for sure, it’s sure to be a side-splitting event.
