THE WORLD’S GREATEST COLLECTOR CAR AUCTIONS® RETURNS TO SOUTH FLORIDA FAIRGROUNDS

oasting a bevy of drop-dead-dazzling vehicles including high-end customs, collectibles, classics and more, Barrett-Jackson, The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions®, is back in town in a big — and we do mean BIG — way.

This year’s Palm Beach auction showcases a stunning docket of amazing supercars, including NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick’s gorgeous 2012 Ferrari 458 Spider.

Powered by a 4.5-liter V8 engine (producing an astounding 562hp), nearly all of this big, bold beauty’s interior surfaces are covered in leather and suede. With only 1,000 miles on the odometer, this Italian supercar looks absolutely magnificent.

Also on the supercar docket is a 2006 Ford GT with an unbelievably low 19 original miles. Stored in a collection since it was brand-spankin’ new, this pristine Ford GT is in 100-percent original condition and is powered by a midmounted 5.4-liter DOHC aluminum engine with a Lysholm

twin-screw supercharger visible through the rear window.

Adding to the car’s va-va-voom vibe, the supercharged V8 produces a factory-rate 550hp at 6,500 rpm with 500 ft/lbs of torque.

In between the hot-auction-action, thrill-seekers feeling the need for speed can mosey on over to the Ride ’N Drives and Thrill Rides, presented by premier sponsors Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge. After your heart rate slows down, be sure to check out an info-packed session of Meguiar’s Car Care Seminars. If shopping’s what revs your personal engine, you can’t go wrong at the Vendor Marketplace, THE place to be for those whose passion runs to specialized and/or vintage collectibles. Here, sponsors and vendors offer a sensational

array of products ranging from fashion-forward jewelry, clothing and art to custom vehicles and unique automotive aftermarket products.

Clichés aside, last but certainly not least is the event’s ever-popular automobilia auction, which takes place from 9 to 11 each morning. Offering the opportunity to take a nostalgic trip back in time, this memory-lane event features No Reserve, one-of-a-kind collectibles sure to send you into smile-a-minute overdrive.

Whether you’re primed to capture the car of your dreams, rub elbows with celebrities or experience live auction action at its best, don’t miss your chance to be part of an extraordinary celebration of automotive history. “Our record-breaking Scottsdale event set the tone for the rest of the year and we expect another electrifying weekend in Palm Beach with a truly spectacular docket of vehicles,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson.

BARRETT-JACKSON: SPOTLIGHT ON CHARITY

B

COMMITMENT TO PHILANTHROPY HAS RESULTED IN OVER $83 MILLION RAISED OVER THE YEARS

arrett-Jackson’s strong commitment to philanthropy has resulted in just over $83 million raised over the years — the majority of which was brought in through the auction of cars for charity — with 100 percent of the hammer price going straight to the beneficiaries.

More than $8.6 million was raised for local and national charitable organizations during the 2015 Scottsdale Auction alone.

At the Scottsdale Auction, held in January 2015, celebrities, pro athletes and business leaders, including actress Sharon Stone, NASCAR legends Jeff Gordon and Ray Evernham, and two-time Masters champ Bubba Watson brought their star power to help raise millions for U.S. veterans, children, cancer

Actress Sharon Stone congratulates Florida businessman and philanthropist John Staluppi for his winning bid on a 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst at the 2015 Scottsdale Auction. Stone served as guest auctioneer for the car, once owned by “Miss Hurst Golden Shifter” Linda Vaughn, who was also on hand for the event. The bid of $140,000 benefited The Cancer Research Fund at the Phoenix-based Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), in memory of Russ and Brian Jackson (started

by Craig Jackson). John and Jeanette Staluppi generously donated the car back to Vaughn after the successful bid.

patients and others across the country.

Among the most electrifying moments of the auction was the sale of a 1950 General Motors Parade of

Progress Futurliner Tour Bus. One of only 12 built and nine known to still exist, the Futurliner — a self-contained display and transport vehicle — was cre-

ated by the Chevrolet design staff under the direction of legendary designer Harley Earl. This wow-worthy piece of automotive history was the centerpiece of the

“Parade of Progress” touring exhibit that complemented the Chevrolet “Motoramas” from 1940 through 1956.

This iconic bus was sold for an astonishing $4 mil-

lion, with several generous Barrett-Jackson customers spontaneously pledging an additional $600,000. One hundred percent of the proceeds benefited the Armed Forces Foundation (AFF), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and advocating for activeduty military personnel, National Guardsmen, Reservists, military families and veterans.

“It’s always a moving moment when charity vehicles cross the block,” said Craig Jackson, Barrett-Jackson chairman and CEO. “It’s inspiring to see how the auction team, along with our consignors and bidders, can come together with such enthusiasm to raise money for worthy organizations. I’m looking forward to seeing how much more we can raise for some great causes in 2015.”

‘HERBIE’ GETS LOVE IN PALM BEACH FOUR-WHEELED STAR TO CROSS THE BARRETT-JACKSON BLOCK

I

t was a casting call like no other. Outside the Burbank, Calif., Walt Disney Studios in early 1968, a dozen or so cars were lined up in anticipation. There were a handful of Toyotas, a TVR, a few Volvos, an MG and a Pearl White Volkswagen Beetle.

Members of the crew walked by the aspiring movie stars for a closer look, kicking tires and checking the steering wheels to assess handling capabilities. It is said that when the rough and tough crew members came across that Beetle, however, they actually began to pet it – and a star was born.

“The Love Bug,” also sometimes known as “Herbie The Love Bug,” was a huge success in 1968, leading to three subsequent films in the original series starring the anthropo-morphic 1963 Volkswagen Beetle with a mind of its own. Naturally, there were quite a few “Herbies” used in the films, although only a few remain in existence.

Crossing the Barrett-

Jackson block at the 2015 Palm Beach Auction in April will be a particular 1963 Volkswagen Beetle Sunroof Sedan (Lot #394). Known to movie-going public as “Herbie” and to Walt Disney Productions as “5916,” this car is better known in the loyal Herbie community as the “oil squirter,” as it was designed to squirt oil out of the passenger-side wheel well (particularly famous for doing just that on a police officer’s foot in the 1977

film “Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo”).

Unlike many of the Herbies, this one actually drives, and was used for both driving and interior shots during its Hollywood career.

This Herbie retired after his final appearance in 1980’s “Herbie Goes Bananas” and was sold into private hands.

The famous car was later purchased by Arthur Porter, who had the car restored to its “Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo”

appearance and piloted it in many vintage car races until the year 2000. Herbie spent the next few years relaxing in museums. The next owner, Doug Kaufmann, saw to it that Herbie’s interior was restored to its “Monte Carlo” state, and reinstalled the bumpers, which had been removed for vintage racing events.

This well-documented Herbie has an 1835cc engine with dual Kadron Solex carbs, has had a full mechanical service courtesy of its current owner and is ready to roll again.

With his appearance at Palm Beach, Herbie joins an illustrious list of fourwheeled film icons that have had starring roles at previous Barrett-Jackson auctions. Some are from movie classics, like the 1926 Hudson Speedster from the 1940 movie “The Grapes of Wrath,” starring Henry Fonda (sold at the Scottsdale 2010 auction for $55,000).

Who could forget that 1949 Hudson Commodore 8 from the 1990 film “Driving Miss Daisy,” starring Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman? It fetched $66,000 at the Scottsdale 2014 auction.

And there’s the 1966 Ford Thunderbird from 1991’s “Thelma & Louise,” which stars Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon drove over the edge of the Grand Canyon.

Selling for $71,500 at the Scottsdale 2008 auction, the car had one particular passenger of note during the course of the film: Brad Pitt, in his first major motion picture.

Car stars from cult classics have always proved popular at Barrett-Jackson, as was witnessed at the Scottsdale 2015 auction, when the 1958 Plymouth Fury from the 1983 movie “Christine” sold for $198,000, and the 1955 Chevrolet Custom from 1971’s “Two-Lane Blacktop,” starring James Taylor and Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys, which fetched $159,500.

What’s an action-adven-

ture movie without a great fast car? Barrett-Jackson has seen an abundance of silver screen specials cross the block – from the 1967 Pontiac GTO Custom from the 2002 film “XXX” starring Vin Diesel and Samuel L. Jackson (sold at Palm Beach 2011 for $28,600) to several cars from the popular “Fast & Furious” movie series.

Most popular were the 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Custom from 2006’s “The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift,” which went for $187,000 at the Orange County 2010 auction, and the 1969 Dodge Charger Custom featured in two films: 2009’s “Fast & Furious 4” and 2011’s “Fast Five.” That Charger sold for $95,700 at the Scottsdale 2013 auction.

So keep an eye out for yet another famous movie car, Herbie, at the Palm Beach auction – but remember: he’s known for having a mind of his own. He may well take that journey across the block all by himself.
