In the movie “It’s A Wonderful Life” George Bailey’s family and friends collect $8,000 to keep him out of jail. George could have sold his car for a lot more. The 1919 Dodge Brothers Touring Car sold last January at auction for $522,000 dollars. Thousands of people visit Seneca Falls each December for the “It’s A Wonderful Life” Festival where they learn about the similarities between Seneca Falls and the movie’s Bedford Falls.
