All proceeds from the auction will benefit the Professor Joseph Dorsey Memorial Scholarship, supporting UMass Lowell physical therapy students "who demonstrate strong academic performance, leadership and dedication to serving others."
Dorsey, who founded the college's physical therapy program, was Leno's gym teacher at Andover High School.
Kenworth’s fairly extensive bus manufacturing history has been forgotten, but buses were part of its portfolio from its beginning as the Gerlinger Motors Co. in 1912, and at one point were its most profitable product line.
The Model T was built from 1949 to 1957.

859 Boss 429s were made in 1969, and this one was only driven 4435k miles since new... what a odd way to appreciate such an iconic muscle car - not drive it, and use it for an investment instead.
