When Frank and David Ohrt come across a collector’s 1914 Merz Cycle Car, they needed to act fast. To fully understand the importance, you should know how rare this antique is today. The owner told the pickers that only two exist today! First he asked them for $37,500 but they bargained it down to $35,000 due to some missing parts.
