AUBURN, Ind. | Auction giant Kruse International returns to northeast Indiana this week for its annual Auburn Fall Kruse Collector Car Auction.

Again this year, Kruse pairs with Ward Leber and the Child Safety Network to bring a special car to the auction arena.

Italian automaker Lamborghini has provided its Gallardo model to the Child Safety Network (CSN) for auction to benefit the 17-year old charity. CSN leads the distribution of child safety information for families in the United States.

Making this exotic sports car unique is the celebrity signatures seen on its body. The car traveled from Beverly Hills through Las Vegas to New York to its final destination at the Kruse Auction Park in Auburn.

Celebrities Ed Asner, Samuel L. Jackson, Jewel, Randy Travis and Jon Voight are among those who signed this one-of-a-kind Lamborghini.

Proceeds from the sale will go to help prevent the abuse, abduction, injury and exploitation of children.

"Lamborghini is proud to be a part of this worthwhile cause," Bill Nuccio of Lamborghini Chicago in West Chicago, said. "The proceeds of this special Lamborghini Gallardo will make a positive impact to the safety of children."

The Auburn Fall Kruse Collector Car Auction runs today through Tuesday. Gates open at 8 a.m. daily. For more information about other vehicles to be auctioned and to view the full list of celebrity signatures, visit www.Kruse.com.
