W/Provenance - Celebrity Owned - Margaret Mitchell - "Gone With The Wind"

1940 Mercury Sedan

For Your Consideration is Margaret Mitchell's 1940 Mercury Sedan. Ms Mitchell Was The Creator and Author of "Gone With The Wind" The Book Was The 2nd Most Popular Ever Sold. 2nd Only To The Bible and in Total Gross Sales to Date - Adjusting For Inflation is The Highest Grossing Movie of all Time at $3.44 Billion. This 1940 Mercury Sedan Still Resides In Georgia Tucked Away In a Barn Just East Of Atlanta Where Ms Mitchell Lived And Created "Gone With The Wind" Over 83 Years Ago. Documents That Accompany The Sale Are The Power Attorney Signed By Her Husband John Marsh and Her Brother Steven Mitchell. Vehicle is Not Running at The Moment. She's Covered in an Inch of Dust in The Barn Where She's Been For Many Many Years. This Antique Mercury Has Quite a Bit Of Provenance. Who Knows What Other Famous Occupants Took a Ride ?
It's Assumed That Possibly Ms Mitchell Purchased This 1940 Mercury Sedan With The Proceeds Of The Movie Royalties. "Gone With The Wind" Which Was Released December of 1939. Tragically Margaret Mitchell Passed Away August 16, 1949. 2 Months Later. Husband John Marsh and Her Brother Steven Mitchell Endorsed The POA To Sell This 1940 Mercury Sedan From Her Estate. (power of attorney will accompany sale).
Fast Forward 73 Years. It Still Sits Tucked Away High and Dry in A Georgia Barn. For All The "Gone With The Wind" Collectors and Fans. It Doesn't Get Any Better This ! Adding This Amazing Find To Your Collection Would Be Something Very Special. The Body and Chassis Are Pretty Solid. Currently Sports All The Original Paint and Interior, Which Again is 83 Years Old. Also The Original Engine is Intact. She's All There ! Right Down To The Hubcaps. What's This Collectable Worth ? Several Have Said Possibly Upward Of 6 Figures. It's Worth What an Individual Would Pay And What Future Dividends It Might Produce. I Would Imagine On The 100th Anniversary of "Gone with The Wind" This Would Accelerate in Value Exponentially. To Take Possession of Margaret Mitchell's Car Would Be Like Stumbling On The Holy Grail Of " Gone with The Wind" Collectables.
I'm Taking Serious Offers From Individuals Who Seek Unique Celebrity Artifacts. I'll Give Her To a New Home When The Right Offer Comes Along.
It Would Be Great To See it in a Museum. I Hope It Gets Recognized By The Right Individuals or Organization That Will Ultimately Relish It. Awesome Piece Of Americana With Prominence. Thanks For Looking and Message With Questions.
