I see the car where he had silver dollars embedded inside in the interior just sold at auction for over 300k. Anyone ever determine if there was any rarities/varities embedded? Anyone here seen the car in person?

Absolutely ugly.
Okay, it's all a matter of taste. Bad taste, but who am I to judge?

Ricko, I think the bar you're referring to is the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson, Wyoming. It's a nice place but unfortunately all the dollars are placed with the obverse showing which has consequentially made it somewhat difficult for me to locate any micro "o" varieties. Drop in when your in town. Friendly people. Cold beer.
Did not know one existed in Jackson, will need to go down and check it out.
There is the 50,000 silver dollar bar in Montana as well. (which had over 60,000 when I was there in March)
well..... I like cold beer and looking at Morgans...

“I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong. I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” Albert Einstein- quoted in Saturday Evening Post interview (1929)
“Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.” For Einstein, honesty was fundamental. Attention to truth in small things reflected a person’s integrity on a larger scale.
For those with cable television, there are now several cable channels which run old television programs.
One has been running "The Roy Rogers Show" for years.

I knew someone would bring up guns.

The odd thing about Roy Rogers was that he was a "kinder and gentler" cowboy hero. The ever did on the TV show was maybe shoot the gun out of the bad guy's hand. He never shot anybody anywhere else. It is surprising that he put so many guns on his personal car.
As I grew older, I kind of lot interest in his show because I liked westerns were everbody rode horses. In his show people were riding around in cars, including Pat Buttrum's "Nellie Belle" Jeep.
The gun control advocates would have a field day with that automobile. Today when kid can get suspended from school for playing gun with his or her finger, guns in the fenders wouldn't cut it.

You could not bring your toy guns to school when I was in elementary school. I remember one day when I was in kindergarten teacher let us bring them to school. That was in 1955.
