1975 Dodge Royal Monaco Brougham

Actually "museum quality" is usually not that high.

As I read recently in (I think) Antique Automobile magazine, museums often do not have a lot of money to put into their exhibits (look at how many are donated) and are seldom very knowledgeable regarding the authenticity of automobiles. Consequently, their cars are generally not top quality. The Chrysler museum, as BigBoats34 suggested, might be an exception as to knowledge, but I thought I read that it had been closed (going by memory -- I could be mistaken).

If I'm not mistaken, this production of this generation Mopar wagon was significantly lower than that of the contemporary Ford or GM wagons, so I don't think they were really ubiquitous. In fact, I can't remember seeing more than one or two Dodges of this vintage back in the day

I'm 100% with you that this car deserves to be preserved However, I'll be very surprised to learn of a museum -- and somewhat surprised to hear of an individual -- with both the interest and the means to ante up the asking price. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the final selling price was significantly lower than the asking.

What matters in the long run is that the new owner appreciates the car and treats it as it deserves.

 

It sold.

No challenge - I'm surprised. I contacted the owner/seller directly, This appears to be a legit sale - I was interested and did not move quickly enough.

 

Looks like it found a very good home across the country in Long Beach, CA,

 

Hmmm...... This might be odd....
