1967 Triumph Spitfire Mark I I Roadster

O

riginally created by Standard-Triumph, the Spitfire was introduced to compete in the small sports car market against the likes of the AustinHealey Sprite. The prototype vehicle was designed in 1958 by Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti, but due to financial difficulties, Standard-Triumph was forced to shelve the project. Rescued through an acquisition

by Leyland Motors, the necessary financial backing was provided and the Triumph Spitfire was officially launched at the 1962 London Motor Show. Offered in five different variations until production ended in 1980, many would say the Mark IIIs from ’67 and ’68 were the best. In 1969, U.S.-bound models had to be changed to comply with new safety and emission regulations. Often referred to as “federal” Spitfires, the ’69 models had a decrease in horsepower, new

seats were introduced, and the charming wood dash was replaced with a matte black dash.

Rarely does one find a Spitfire of any year restored to the standard such as the 1967 Triumph Spitfire Mark III offered here. Performing restorations since 1975, the late Frank Wicker started Wicker’s Body & Paint Shop, Inc. located in Kendallville, Indiana, in 1984 and became the go-to place for British automobiles. Having restored over 60 Austin-Healeys, he also restored countless other British marques, such as this 1967 Triumph Spitfire Mark III, which was his personal car. Having owned it for over 20 years, it has never been on a major road; after the restoration was completed, he tested the engine and mechanics, and simply parked it among his collection and started it periodically to maintain its integrity. Finished in

the classic color scheme of British Racing Green over black upholstery with white piping it has an iconic stance. Under the clamshell hood is a 1,296cc straight-four engine that pushes out 75 horsepower and is backed by a four-speed manual gearbox. A fantastic symbol of classic British sports car design, the current young caretaker, 10-year-old Miss Goldie Kruse, took ownership with guidance and help from her father in the summer of 2023, being the first person to own this automobile since Mr. Wicker’s passing and the restoration. Ready for spirited driving and automotive judged events, this Mark III Spitfire is one of the very best and is ready to be enjoyed.

PR Campaign Car of Roger Penske/Bobby Allison Racing Team

• Likely one of the last remaining examples • A true piece of automotive and NASCAR history

and blue paint and sponsor graphics.

Once completed, the Penske/Allison car, often seen on its matching red, white and blue trailer, made appearances coast to coast at Bobby Allison autograph signing events, at car shows and Autoramas in America’s major cities, at AMC dealership promotional events, and at Sears Automotive Centers across the

eginning life as a factory pre-production prototype 1974 Matador X Coupe with serial number 100070, this is the earliest AMC Matador Coupe known to exist. Once in the hands of Penske’s crew during calendar year 1973, work began to strip and modify the car into the team’s showpiece with many representative race car components including the famous AMC Racing red, white,

country in support of the Sears Craftsman/Penske tool endorsement program.

Early 1974 drivers of the Matador Coupe included Gary Bettenhausen, Dave Marcis and George Follmer, but driver Bobby Allison is best known for piloting the car. He drove a Matador through the ‘74 season and beyond. Roger Penske moved on to Mercury and Chevrolet late in the 1976 season and Allison took over ownership of the Matador team along with Warner Hodgdon. That included assets such as the Matador Show Car. Graphics on the car were continually updated to represent the evolving sponsorship packages. Today, the car stands with the 1977 sponsors displayed. Allison raced Matadors in NASCAR through 1977 and in USAC through the 1978 race season. Then this car was placed in Allison’s shop for nearly 40 years. It made so few public appearances that many had forgotten about it or never knew of its existence.

In 2017, a longtime friend of the Allison family, W.D. Goad, threw Bobby’s 80th birthday celebration. NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee Robert “Bobby” Arthur Allison, holder of 85 career victories, a Winston Cup Series Championship, and seven-time Cup Series Most Popular Driver award winner, enjoyed the company of many friends and racing royalty including Dave Marcis, Linda Vaughn, Red Farmer, Harry Gant, and many others. Following that celebration, Bobby presented the Matador PR car to W.D. as a token of their deep and lengthy friendship. Mr. Goad passed away in January of 2021 and J.D. and

Denisa Goad, his son and daughter-in-law, made the car available in early 2022.

The current caretakers are Mr. Ed Souers and Mr. Hal Souers who are known globally as Hudson and AMC historians, having restored and owned multiple Hudson Italias as well as the real “Fabulous Hudson Hornet”. Maintaining and ensuring its lasting legacy, the Souers have documented this example to its fullest extent, and the 360-cubic-inch engine with four-barrel carburetor has been well-maintained, firing right up and shifting into gear as expected. Since it was a promotional vehicle from the start, it has never been titled, resulting in it being sold on a bill of sale.

Along with the sale of the iconic Penske/Allison car is a collection of apparel from one of the members of the pit crew, Mr. Linn Barton. The pit crew uniform consists of the actual hat, embroidered shirt and AMC pants he wore when on pit duty in 1975. Plenty of fun options are available for the next owner, whether you kick out the mini-van and show it off in your garage, try it out on the track in the many popular vintage NASCAR races held or simply take it to cars and coffee or local shows and chat with the throngs of interested onlookers. As the factory pre-production prototype originally owned by Roger Penske and Bobby Allison, this example presents a rare opportunity to acquire a true piece of automotive and NASCAR history.

1969 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible • Trim tag verified factory triple black • QW coded 400/W30 V-8 power with factory four-speed manual transmission • Equipped with factory air-conditioning, power steering, and power brakes

• Gentleman’s muscle car; Very well-appointed for comfort and convenience • Full restoration lovingly preserved with just 137 miles since completion • Comes with the correct wheels and Firestone Wide Oval tires

W

Considered an option package up to 1967, 4-4-2 went from a Cutlass option package to a full-fledged performance-oriented series of its own. For 1969, 442s came in three basic flavors, as a Sport Coupe, Holiday Hardtop, and the sporty and exciting

hile Pontiac is often credited with being GM’s first “Muscle-Car,” the team over at Oldsmobile was not far behind. Mid-year 1964, the mid-size F85 Cutlass was gifted with the B09 option package which was marketed as the 4-4-2.

Convertible. While the Cutlass family, including the 442, had received all-new sheet-metal for the 1968 model year, an attractive and distinctive facelift was given to the 1969 models. Important modifications came with the deletion of the wing vent windows on convertible and hardtop models, the addition of a divider pillar on the hood which created a split grille effect which accented the twin bulges on the hood as well as integrating the headlights, and, to the rear, a restyled deck lid with cut-outs for the taillights. New interior appointments included headrests for front seats and a new locking ignition as part of the steering column. For the 4-4-2, several improved options included an updated single-piston disc brake caliper setup, replacing the cumbersome dual piston system, better breathing air-intake and redesigned exhaust manifolds that provided for a better flow of gases. The 442 series proved to be a popular selection and was widely regarded as a “gentleman’s muscle car”. While refined, it could be very aggressive and, with several engine options, it proved to be a true contender on the streets. This merry Oldsmobile was the leader of a new generation of owners, part of the “Youngmobile Thinking” program promoted that year. For 1969, a total of 27,263 Oldsmobile 442s were produced, 4,295 of those selected as convertibles, or just under 16 percent.

This 1969 Oldsmobile 442 convertible was restored prior to 2008, before being acquired by our consignor in 2012. It is finished in its original Ebony Black, verified by its trim tag, with red pinstriping and is fitted with the proper black grained vinyl for the “Strato” front bucket seats and rear bench seat complementing the folding black soft top. Our consignor reports that under the hood, is the

proper “QW” coded 400-cid “Rocket V-8” which had an advertised output of 360 horsepower. This high-performance engine is backed up with the M20 four-speed manual transmission feeding the power to the 3.92:1 limited slip (Positraction) rear axle. There is a distinctive rumble from the low-resistance dualexhaust system, and all electrical systems are in excellent condition. Steering is quick and responsive with the “FE1” 442’s heavy duty suspension package with stopping security provided through the power-assisted disc brakes to the front and drums to the rear. In addition to power steering, this 442 is equipped with power windows, factory air-conditioning and “Soft-Ray” tinted glass. Currently this 442 is riding on a set of Super Sport III wheels with B. F. Goodrich T/A radial tires, but as they say on TV, “Wait, there is more!” Included is a set of four 14-inch Super Stock II wheels fitted with Firestone Wide Oval tires. As you sit in the driver’s side bucket seat be sure to check out the factory AM-FM radio, and mounted below is the very hard-to-find Oldsmobile branded 8-track stereo player. The slender wood-rimmed steering wheel is fitted to a tilt column and looking at the instrument cluster you will see the 120-mph speedometer, the combination 7,000 RPM tachometer/clock, and other important instruments.

The five-digit odometer shows just 137 miles at the time of cataloging which is presumed to have been since the restoration was completed. An amazing muscle car in one of the most desirable configurations you can get: triple black, four-speed, power steering and power brakes, factory air-conditioning, convertible, with an outstanding restoration. A blue chip opportunity, indeed.

required by its fiberglass body construction. Having a dedicated facility with trained and skilled craftsmen, quality of the product improved and production numbers rose 12-fold to 3,640 Corvettes for 1954. Crucially, the 1954 Corvette saw marked improvements in fit and finish, with bodywork coming out as solid and smooth as Chevrolet’s “bread-and-butter” steel-bodied cars. Several running

y 1954, the futuristic Corvette was a full-fledged member of the Chevrolet family. While the first 300 examples had been hand-assembled at GM’s Flint, Michigan, assembly plant, it was decided to create a dedicated assembly process for the Corvette.

A special section was created at the St. Louis, Missouri, assembly plant to accommodate the Corvette’s unique assembly process

changes took place on the Corvette that year, such as the use of a solid-lifter camshaft boosting the engine output, minor changes in the hood-latching system, and the option of other paint colors besides Polo White, the sole paint finish available for the inaugural 1953 model year.

Offered for sale for the first time in 28 years is this 1954 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster. Acquired by the current owner in 1996, this Corvette has been his pride and joy. A solid and original car, this Corvette was under the ownership of Otto Clifford of Illinois in 1962, per a copy of an Illinois title, before being sold to Chicago Corvette enthusiast Don Picha, who then sold it to the current owner. An early example, as it is the 566th Corvette produced, it is said to have carry-over parts from the inaugural year, such as 1953 front shocks. Deciding to do a complete restoration to factory standards for judging purposes, this example was sent to an array of top shops in the country. The wheels and side curtains were restored by Corvette authority and NCRS Judge Steve Newsom of Houston, Texas, while the interior was done by Adam Parker in Arizona. The rest of the restoration was completed by Mickey’s Car Barn in Crown Point, Indiana, which is documented by a file of invoices. The multi-year restoration was completed in 2021 to impeccable standards.

Putting the restoration, as well as the many days and years of tracking down original parts to the test, this ’54 Corvette was taken to the 2022 NCRS Indiana Chapter Regional Judging Meet held at Kruse Plaza in Auburn, Indiana. After the judging was finished, this Corvette would be the recipient of a prestigious NCRS Regional Top Flight award, a true testament to its restoration back to factory standards. So pleased with how the restoration turned out, this Corvette has been featured in numerous ads and magazines published around the world promoting Mickey’s Car Barn. Since the restoration, this example has only accumulated 78 test miles to ensure the 150-horsepower 235-cubic-inch “Blue Flame” six-cylinder engine and Powerglide automatic transmission were kept in top order.

Accompanying the sale of this classic Corvette are the NCRS judging sheets, its Top Flight certificate and ribbon, an owner’s manual, six original Corvette AC spark plugs in the box, and a large file of restoration invoices. Offered and available for the first time in over 28 years, this 1954 Corvette is a true piece of Americana and is ready to be enjoyed by a new owner at judged events around the country.

1974 Porsche 914 • Less than 67,500 miles from new • Restored and ready to drive

• Equipped with 1.7-litre fuel-injected engine • Factory four-wheel disc brakes

P

typical product of the Eighties or Nineties. But you would be wrong. The 914 first hit the road in 1969, the year Nixon became the U.S. President, the first Apollo moon landing took place and the supersonic jet Concorde made its first flight. It remained in production from 1969 to 1976, during which time around 119,000 were made. It was awarded Motor Trend’s Import Car of the Year for 1970 and became Formula One’s first safety car

orsche’s 914 was initially a joint venture between Porsche and Volkswagen, debuting in 1969 at Frankfurt's Auto Show. A car of overall simplicity, the 914 in both four- and six-cylinder models had, at the time, revolutionary equipment – a mid-engine layout and an electronic fuel injection system, the latter of which was cutting edge in the then-carbureted world. You could take one look at the Porsche 914’s crisp, angular lines and think it was a

at the 1973 Canadian Grand Prix. The 914’s design was thoroughly modern.

It was built as a mid-engine two-seater with a targa top - a semi-convertible design which uses a fixed roll bar behind the seats and a ‘roof’ made of a removable panel. Mid-engine cars also offered nimble handling and even front-rear weight distribution.

1973 was a big turning point for the 914. A 96-horsepower 2.0-litre engine was introduced and the shift linkage was vastly improved with the “side shifter” transaxle. Standard-trim bumpers were changed from body color to a matte black finish and chrome bumpers were still available with the appearance group option. Front rubber bumper guards were now required by the Department of Transportation. A new, bent handbrake lever replaced the old handle, making it much easier to operate. The VW window lift mechanism was replaced by a much smoother 911-type scissor-style system, along with black plastic window winder handles. Heavy beams were added inside the door frames for better passenger protection. The public responded to the improvements made for the 1973 model, making it the highest sales volume year. For 1974, a 1.8-litre engine replaced the 1.7 and had a new type of electronic fuel injection called AFC (air flow control), or 'L' Jetronic. This same basic injection was used on 911s in the late ’80s. The standard steel wheels were changed to 5.5-inch-wide silver-painted VW units. Rubber bumper guards now adorned the rear, and the

headlight surrounds were changed from white to black plastic. This 1974 Porsche 914 is finished in Zambezi Green (L64K) over a brown interior and is powered by a 1.8-litre fuel injected engine paired with a five-speed manual transaxle.

Taking a closer look, one will notice how well-kept this car has been and it is a rust-free example. Features include pop-up headlights, a black removable targa top, black bumpers, a driver’s side mirror, and quad exhaust outlets. The cabin features two-way adjustable bucket seats upholstered in brown vinyl along with color-coordinated door panels and dash, all in excellent condition. The carpet and targa top are in good shape as well. Amenities include a heater, a center console, wind-up windows, three-point seatbelts, black custom floor mats, and an upgraded Dual CD stereo with Bluetooth connectivity. Additionally, the interior features an upgraded leather-wrapped three-spoke Luisi steering wheel, VDO instrumentation including a central tachometer, 150-mph speedometer, and a fuel level gauge.

This Porsche 914 has received extensive restoration work and looks fantastic riding on the factory silver 15-inch steel wheels mounted with 195/55 Goodyear all-season tires. With less than 67,500 miles recorded on the odometer, this car is a joy to drive, plus it can be brought to a stop quickly thanks to its factory four-wheel disc brake system. Complete with the original jack in the trunk and some extra parts as well, this Porsche is quickly rising in collector car circles.

To demonstrate its mechanical prowess, the 360 silenced doubters

2001 until 2005 offering open air, Italian motoring.

A masterpiece from Maranello, this 2004 Ferrari 360 Spider is a topless and desirable take on the Modena and is 1 of just 2,389 examples delivered new to the United States during its five-year production. Accompanied by a clean CARFAX® report, this Ferrari retains just 8,400 miles from new, and has received the routine maintenance one would expect, with a belt servicing taking place two years ago.

This example is finished in one of the more desirable colors offered by Ferrari, Blu Tour de France (TdF), which is reported to account for just 7.4 percent of Ferrari production in 2004 between the Modena, Spider, Challenge Stradale, and Modena Race cars. Nicely equipped, this 360 features optional factory power Daytona seats, Scuderia shields, modular wheels, and red brake calipers.

Sculpted with smooth, flowing lines that exude elegance and aggression, the Pininfarina design is timeless.

with slight sticking on some of the buttons and controls.

Under the rear bonnet lies Ferrari’s naturally aspirated 3.6-litre V-8 engine, a marvel of Italian engineering that produces 400 horsepower at 8,500 rpm. This high-revving powerplant is paired with Ferrari’s optional F1-style automated manual gearbox. Derived from Formula 1 technology, it allows for lightningfast gear changes via paddle shifters, providing an experience that is as close to a race car as one can get on public roads. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with drilled rotors. Poised to do 0 to 60 in the mid 4s, the 360 Spider is capable of reaching speeds exceeding 180 miles per hour.

Along with the clean CARFAX® and pure joy you will get from being the winning bidder, this 360 Spider is also sold with factory manuals, Ferrari tool kit, Ferrari battery charger, and Ferrari red car cover. Formula 1 derived technology combined with open air enjoyment, this Blu TdF Ferrari 360 Spider is the best of both worlds and will find favor on daily commutes, weekend get aways, the local track and at night, proudly displayed in your garage.

The Nissan Patrol boasts a rich history and impressive off-roading capabilities, rivaling the other vehicles mentioned earlier. Outside the U.S., the Patrol is often held in the same regard as the Land

s off-road vehicles continue to surge in popularity, iconic models such as Jeeps, Ford Broncos, Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40s, and Land Rover Defenders have risen in both status and value. However, some exceptional and historically significant off-roaders have gone somewhat unnoticed yet deserving of

Cruiser, with fiercely loyal fans who trust these rugged trucks to get into and out of the toughest environments. The first-generation model entered production in 1951 and the Patrol is currently in its sixth generation, available in the U.S. as the Nissan Armada and Infiniti QX80. However, the Patrol’s relative obscurity in the U.S. can be attributed to the fact that only two of its six generations were offered in the U.S. - this second-generation model (sold in the U.S. from 1962 to 1969) and the current generation.

The second-generation introduced many welcomed refinements over the bare-bones first generation, yet still had the charming classic style of its contemporaries like the first-gen Ford Bronco and the Toyota FJ40. Power is supplied by a naturally aspirated P-series petrol 4.0-litre inline-six, rated at 140 horsepower, and mated to a three-speed manual transmission with floor shift and two-speed transfer case. Beyond the driveline, the Patrol used a simple body-on-frame construction and had equally simple solid axles front and rear, both supported by leaf springs. The proven setup ensured durability and

excellent offroad performance.

One of just a handful examples on U.S. shores, this 1969 Nissan Patrol KL60 SWB LHD wagon boasts a quality body-off-the-frame restoration, while sporting a classic Desert Tan body with a removable white roof. During the restoration, the underbody and floors were coated with Raptor lining for additional protection and to decrease sound. The body rides on factory steel wheels finished in white with proper dog-dish hubcaps and period-style off-road tires.

The interior is nice and tidy, featuring black vinyl seat covers on the front seats and rear jump seats. Minimal, but practical, the cabin is easy to clean and wash out, which is especially nice when you are off-roading in unfavorable muddy conditions. Additional features include an add on Hitachi radio, a heater, and a foldable windscreen. Ready for your outdoor adventures or simple weekend cruising, this unique and seldom seen off-road Nissan Patrol with its quality restoration will pique one's interest and likely allow you to have the only one at gatherings and meets of vintage off-road enthusiasts.

of Mopars during the late 1960s and 1970s. Plymouth used the same basic body platform, the Belvedere, to create several different iterations to reach all target markets. Using this platform, Plymouth introduced two different versions, the GTX in 1967 and the Road Runner in 1968. The Road Runner was made as the base muscle car, while the GTX took the pedestal as the division’s premium model.

he first Plymouth to set its sails debuted on June 7th, 1928, in Madison Square Garden of New York City. As time pressed on, the muscle car era empowered Plymouth to officially make its mark in the automotive world, producing some of the best muscle cars ever conceived. Of many notable powerhouse models, the Plymouth ‘Hemi’ GTX was and remains a distinguished member

The GTX would only be produced from 1967 until 1971, allowing a short five years for this powerful Mopar to rock the stage. Based on the mid-size Belvedere platform, this upscale rendition would incorporate upgraded features.

The GTX was differentiated by its blacked-out grille and special rear fascia, fiberglass hood scoops along with optional racing stripes, a chrome “pop-open” fuel filler cap, and a tachometer mounted on the center console. The GTX offered only two engine choices. A more affordable 440-cubic-inch block that sported 375 horsepower, and a ferocious 426-cubic-inch Hemi rated at a roaring 425 horsepower. Both options were partnered with a TorqueFlite automatic transmission as standard, but for those seeking a two-handed driving experience, a four-speed manual transmission was an option for no additional cost. These cars were built to perform. GTX production would total 18,272 in the 1968 model year; however, only a mere 410 came with the monstrous 426-cubic-inch Hemi motor. Only 217 of those Hemis were mated with a four-speed manual

transmission.

One of those 217, this 1968 Plymouth ‘Hemi’ GTX is powered by a numbersmatching 426-cubic-inch J-Code Hemi V-8 engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission. It is also fitted with the highly desirable Dana 3.54 Positraction rear end, heavy duty suspension, a factory 8,000 rpm tachometer and SolidState AM radio. The interior of this Mopar muscle features deluxe woodgrain trim and white vinyl upholstery. Refinished in the original Bright Blue Metallic paint, this Hemi also sports a black vinyl top, chrome magnum wheels and redline tires. This Hemi GTX underwent a ground-up restoration in 2014 and is highly detailed throughout. The 426 ‘Hemi’ V-8 is undoubtedly one of the most legendary powerplants of the muscle car era. This numbers-matching Bright Blue Metallic 426 ‘Hemi’ GTX with a four-speed manual transmission is a boasting opportunity for Mopar aficionados and enthusiasts alike.

never one to shy away from style. The cars of Errett Loban Cord carried an aura of prestige that led the way in the Golden Age of the motorcar. Whether it was the famous Duesenberg Model J or an Auburn Boattail Speedster, Cord’s cars carried a look and style like no other car on the road. In 1936, Cord shocked the

he pages of automotive history are filled with great names that literally pioneered transportation as we know it today. Great men like Henry Ford, who put America on wheels and William Crapo Durant, who created General Motors, certainly made their mark. Among these great names is Errett Loban Cord, who was

automotive landscape with the introduction of the 810. Styling for the 810 was by the great Gordon M. Buehrig. Innovation does not begin to describe the 810 as it was unlike anything else on the road at the time. Front-wheel drive, a powerful Lycoming V-8 engine, an ultra-low profile, and the elimination of running boards were just a few of the styling cues that set it apart from all the rest. Just a year later the 812 was introduced and further elevated its status with the sporty chrome supercharged exhaust pipes fanning from the engine.

Known history of this elegant Rich Maroon 812 Supercharged Cord picks up in 1948 under the ownership of Bill B. Hopson of San Antonio, Texas. On the second of March 1949, this Cord was acquired by Captain Harry Himebaugh in San Antonio. Later that year, this example was acquired by Arnold Becker of Monroe, Louisiana, who would store it for three decades. By 1980, Terry Reed would rescue this Cord from storage and sell it to Steve Hamilton, who would commence the first phase of its restoration, during which it was certified for the first time by the ACD Club. The restoration was carried out by Cole’s Classic and Antique Autos of Nederland, Colorado. The mechanical components were performed by marque expert Phil Allison of Allison Restoration Shop in Auburn,

Indiana. After completion, this Cord was ACD Club certified once again with the late Paul Bryant’s signature. After the restoration was completed, this example would sell for a then world record price of $324,000 at auction in 2004.

Listed on page 261 of Josh Malks book “Cord - The Timeless Classic” and receiving its third ACD Club Category One Certification in 2017, this example retains the original 170 horsepower 289 Lycoming engine and powerful Schwitzer-Cummins supercharger. The Rich Maroon paint pairs perfectly with the chrome and canvas convertible top. The interior is also very well-presented, sporting rich tan leather that’s soft to the touch. The stable engine turned dash, which is a focal point of many ACD cars, is in fine order and elevates the elegance of the cabin. Accompanying the sale is 75 years of titles, bills of sales, registrations, and letters. Three-time ACD Club Certified Category One original Cord, with only 220 miles added since its outstanding restoration, this 812 Supercharged Phaeton would make a welcomed addition to Concours events, ACD Club gatherings, like the Annual Reunion in Auburn, Indiana, or one’s collection of pre- and post-war automobiles.

suggestions resulted in the switch to Chevrolet’s revolutionary new small-block V-8 by 1955, transforming the stylish Corvette into a promising performer. Continuing the momentum, stylistic updates for 1956 directed by GM Designer Bob Cadaret brought more aggressive bodylines and the debut of the Corvette’s dashing bodyside coves. Welcome detail changes included the

n December 1953, a forceful memo written by engineer, racer, and new GM hire Zora Arkus-Duntov to company management made a massive and lasting impact on the future direction and development of Chevrolet’s striking yet tame new Corvette.

Advocating high-performance redevelopment of the Corvette to capitalize on America’s fast-growing youth market, Duntov’s

addition of external door handles, roll-up side windows, and a new factoryavailable hardtop. Power windows and a power convertible top were optional, with the cockpit mostly unchanged.

Following the launch of Chevrolet’s revolutionary and powerful overheadvalve small-block V-8 engine for 1955 and its availability in the Corvette, Duntov and his engineers released Chevy’s first high-performance options including the hot ‘Duntov’ solid-lifter cam and “Dual Quad” intake setup in 1956. Stronger high-performance parts were designed, tested, relentlessly perfected, and soon populated a severe-duty parts pipeline for Chevy buyers and racers alike.

Speed records quickly fell to Chevrolet, including new marks set by Duntov in a camouflaged ’56 Chevrolet sedan at Pikes Peak in 1955. At the 1956 NASCAR Daytona Beach Speed Week, Duntov went over 150 mph in a lightly modified Corvette and more records were set by the three-Corvette team, with Duntov, John Fitch, and Betty Skelton driving. For the March 1956 Sebring road races, Ed Cole hired successful racer John Fitch to prepare the Corvette and, despite some of the car’s lingering deficiencies, Fitch and co-driver Walt Hansgen took a class win.

The lessons gained from Sebring directly led to the development work and mechanical components that soon honed the Corvette into a true track-bound terror. Just 3,467 Corvettes were built in all for 1956; however, this number represented a strong five-fold increase over the previous model year, ensuring the vehicle’s continued production. Priced from $3,958.10, the 1956 Corvette was relatively expensive but it was the only true American-built choice for

performance-minded drivers. Today, these historic cars are rightly collectible and highly enjoyable to drive.

Draped in Onyx Black with Metallic Silver coves, this 1956 Corvette Roadster is a true piece of Americana. The beneficiary of a complete nut-and-bolt restoration in the late 1990s, this example presents very well, with subtle signs of enthusiast enjoyment. The interior is done in red upholstery, which contrasts nicely with the body when the black soft top is down. Other interior amenities include an AM radio and courtesy lights. Well-maintained and suited for one’s driving pleasure, the 265-cubic-inch V-8 engine and three-speed manual transmission operate as expected.

The sale is complete with an owner’s manual, jack, wrench, and photos of the restoration process. A correct nut-and-bolt restoration of America’s sports car in the desirable 1956 production year, this absolutely ideal example embodies the Zora Arkus-Duntov vision. Always considered to be one of the best looking Corvettes, 1956 also marked the third-lowest production total in Corvette history, adding rarity to this example. The correct three-spoke steering wheel and three pedals on the floor clearly indicate that this is indeed America's sports car.

As offered, this well-equipped example is fully capable of earning a position on the show field, or simply enjoyed as one of the nicest weekend cruisers you’ll find. Providing the excellent feel that only a well-cared for car can deliver, this landmark Corvette simply demands close attention from committed Corvette enthusiasts and marque collectors alike.

• Period-correct aftermarket engine speed parts • Stunning Art Deco design

Lincoln Zephyr. A streamlined, luxuriously appointed production car, the new junior Lincoln was positioned as the style-leader at Ford Motor Company, yet it still offered the prestige of a twelvecylinder engine. Priced for volume sales, the Zephyr would prove to be the right move for Lincoln, remaining popular with buyers from its introduction through the car’s replacement in 1946. To create the Zephyr, Edsel Ford teamed up with the accomplished

n the early 1930s, Edsel Ford saw a need to fill an ever-widening gap between the top Ford Deluxe models and the ultraexclusive, coach built twelve-cylinder Lincoln K series. The era of custom coachbuilding was waning, as buyers sought a more affordable “off the shelf” luxury car, and Ford witnessed the success of Cadillac’s junior LaSalle brand. The solution came late in 1935 when Ford Motor Company introduced the all-new

stylist Eugene T. “Bob” Gregorie to design the gorgeous, streamlined body.

Characterized by its pronounced brow, waterfall-like grilles and pencil-thin chrome detailing, the Zephyr was a masterpiece of Art Deco industrial design.

It is also credited as the first commercially successful American streamlined car, particularly when compared to the relative failure of the Chrysler/DeSoto Airflow line. Using advanced techniques designed by the brilliant engineer John Tjaarda, the Zephyr bodies were built in steel by Briggs Manufacturing. This clever form of manufacturing was a precursor to the modern unibody and allowed for a light yet robust platform. The 70-degree V-12 derived from Ford’s venerable flathead V-8 boasted a generous 110 horsepower from 267 cubic inches and delivered its power with turbine-like smoothness. The Zephyr offered buyers outstanding performance and handling for its day, and its success secured Lincoln’s future as a leader in the American luxury car market. Particularly in three-window coupe form, the Lincoln Zephyr is seen by many as one of the most beautiful mass-produced American automobiles of all time.

This stunning 1939 Zephyr is a beautiful example of the elegant and highly desirable three-window coupe. Fully restored to a very high standard, this rare Zephyr is 1 of just 2,500 of this body style built in 1939. Thanks to a comprehensive, detailed restoration, this stunning Zephyr Coupe’s paint

quality and beautifully sculpted body present in excellent condition. Exterior trim remains in lovely order as well, with high-quality plating and polishing on the subtle chrome trim. Occupants are treated to a finely restored interior with tan leather and the original switches, controls, radio, and heater remain intact.

The hallmark of the 1939 Zephyr interior is the “waterfall” center stack, with the big instrument cluster sitting front and center; a lovely Deco touch that complements the exterior styling. On the road, this Zephyr truly impresses. The 267-cubic-inch V-12 starts with ease and runs with its signature smoothness; barely perceptible at idle. It drives beautifully, performs well, and has a wellsorted feel even at highway speeds. The engine is properly detailed and has been upgraded with period-correct speed equipment that includes polished and color-keyed finned aluminum cylinder heads and a polished aluminum Edelbrock intake manifold with dual carburetors topped with Art Deco-inspired air cleaners. Of the six body styles offered in the Lincoln-Zephyr lineup, it is the three-window coupe that is favored by collectors for its elegance and purity of form. This Zephyr Coupe is beautifully presented, with outstanding detail and quality. It is a wonderful example that will surely reward its next caretaker for many years to come.

world was the Isetta, the small compact “bubble car” with a front opening door and powered by a motorcycle engine. This little car was a success and production capacity for Italy was soon topped out.

Licenses were granted to companies in other countries, such as BMW in Germany. These revenues would help fund new projects closer to what Rivolta was really aiming for, a full-size sports car. These dreams

n Italy, just prior to the outbreak of World War II, Iso Thermos was founded by the Rivolta family producing refrigeration and heating products. After the war, founder Renzo Rivolta wanted to expand the company’s offerings to include motorcycles, scooters, and various light duty cargo haulers. By 1953, the automotive wing of the company was renamed Iso Autoveicoli. Their first breakthrough in the automotive

were realized with the 1962 release of the Iso Rivolta.

With coachwork from Bertone and under the hood performance from a small-block Chevrolet V-8, it was a blend on old world and new world in a motorcar.

Previewed at the Turin Motor Show, this gorgeous coupe designed under the direction of Giotto Bizzarrini, who had come to Iso directly from Ferrari where he had been responsible for the legendary 250 GTO, would be the basis for the next project, known in-house as the A3/L, or Luxury edition. Eventually, the market name Grifo was selected in recognition of the Griffin, a mythical creature that was half lion and half eagle, and was featured on the Rivolta family crest. Again, Bizzarrini was responsible for the drivetrain with Giorgetto Giugiaro, working with Bertone at the time, creating a stunning vehicle that would be wellreceived and set the trend for sporty touring cars.

Power would be provided by Chevrolet’s L75 version of the 327 V-8, the same engines used in the Corvette, but with several modifications such as a larger oil sump, the use of Carter AFB carburetors, smaller diameter oil cooler and larger diameter radiator. America was also the source for the transmission, employing the Borg-Warner T-10 four-speed. The steel chassis was fitted with an independent front suspension using an unequal length double wishbone set-up, while the de Dion rear axle was fitted with twin trailing arms and transverse Watt’s linkage. Also coil spring hydraulic shocks were equipped all around with a front antiroll bar. Disc brakes were found on all four corners.

Reported top speed for the Series I was 160 mph, and after its initial unveiling, the Iso Grifo was on its way to introducing the world to the quality of the Iso marque.

In production from late 1965 to 1974, several versions of the Grifo would be produced, but for collectors, the purity of the Series I is highly sought-after.

Early history of this car is not clear, but it appears to have been delivered new in Europe as the speedometer is in kilometres, with the odometer currently showing just over 33,100 km. According to our consignor, this beautiful car was originally finished in black and he chose to have it changed to this striking “Fly Yellow” some years ago. The engine was rebuilt by Obermeyer’s Automotive in Allenton, Wisconsin, in the late 2000s, and shortly afterward several improvements were also installed in the electrical system related mainly to the charging system plus headlights and taillights. Several repairs were made to the suspension system returning this car’s performance to factory specs, making sure it is as safe and reliable as when it was new. Today, this coupe presents well and the 300-HP, 327 V-8 runs smoothly with its Carter AFB four-barrel carburetor and electronic ignition system. Reportedly the original Borg-Warner T-10 four-speed transmission is tight and goes through the gears with minimal effort, the way it should. The original 6 X 15 Campagnolo alloy wheels are wearing a set of Yokohama P205/70R15-95T tires. In addition to the power windows, which were standard, mounted to the dashboard is a Becker Europa multiband radio for listening entertainment.

This Iso has been invited to and displayed at a number of concours events and has been presented with several awards. Included are copies of receipts for the work performed as well as original programs for several of the shows where it has been exhibited, plus spare parts including a pair of original Chevrolet finned aluminum valve covers. Also included are the bumpers that the owner had removed for exhibition.

A highly authentic car designed for driving enjoyment, this early Series I is a car that will provide you with many happy motoring memories.

1970 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400

I

ntroduced mid-way through the 1970 model year due to ongoing labor unrest at the Norwood, Ohio Assembly Plant, General Motors’ new-generation “F-Body” Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird model lines were eagerly anticipated by buyers and performance enthusiasts. Both cars were offered only as sleek fastback coupes featuring handsome, Europeaninfluenced styling cues. Pontiac’s Firebird line ranged from the sophisticated standard models to the luxurious Esprit and GT-style Formula 400. Engine options ranged from a 250-cubicinch six-cylinder to the 400-cubic-inch eight-cylinder, each model featuring their own unique muscle car flair. The Formula 400 boosted a 330-horsepower engine that was coupled with the Pontiac handling package, which consisted of a front stabilizer, new-for-its-time 5/8-inch rear stabilizer bar and firmcontrolled shocks. Inside, the Formula 400 featured a simple, yet stately appearance. The dash was adorned with a simulated wood grain and supportive high-back bucket seats were

placed in the front for a sporty yet comfortable fit. Once ready for press introductions, the entire Firebird line was the subject of intense testing, and the cars did not disappoint. Hot Rod magazine testers compared a 330-horse Firebird Formula 400 and reported a 15.0-second quarter-mile time at 93 mph with an automatic car, while they hit a 13.9-second elapsed time at 102 mph in the traps with a four-speed, 345-horsepower Trans Am. Car and Driver road testers described the 1970 Trans Am as “a hard-muscled, lightning-flexed commando of a car.”

A prime example from the early ‘70s muscle car era, this 1970 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 has enjoyed a mere three owners in its lifetime since being sold new at Marte Pontiac, Inc. in Columbus, Ohio. The current owner, a muscle car enthusiast and collector, acquired this example from the second owner shortly after a comprehensive restoration was completed in 2019. Documented by PHS documentation, it was restored to its factory original appearance of Palladium Silver over a

black vinyl interior. Complete with its dual air scoop fiberglass hood, new-for-the-year Firebird emblem and Formula 400 nameplate, the muscle car stance is on full display. Factory options include, a Turbo Hydramatic automatic transmission, power steering, a middle console, radio, tinted glass, and Rally wheels wrapped in classic muscle car Firestone Wide O Oval tires. Perched in the sweet spot of the Firebird lineup, this Formula 400 is equipped with a well-sorted 400-cubic-inch V-8 engine that produces 330 horsepower, more than enough to satisfy one’s road going needs.

This Firebird is complete with PHS documentation, its original Protect-O-Plate, manuals, spare tire, invoices, and photos from the comprehensive restoration. Fresh throughout, this iconic Palladium Silver example from the inaugural ‘secondgeneration’ year marks a great example of the car that would continue proudly through the next decade as one of the more iconic American muscle cars to hit the pavement.

• Original Ruby Red over black leatherette • Desirable 90 horsepower; tour ready example

Ferry Porsche, the son of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, spearheaded design and development with the 356 constant improvement, a company hallmark that continues today. As a result, the 356 was a consistent winner on both the sales floor and the racetrack.

rom humble beginnings in 1948 when the first Porsche, designated 356/2, emerged from a converted sawmill in Gmünd, Austria, to April 1965, when Type 356 production ceased, more than 70,000 examples had been manufactured.

A prime case in point was the 356B, which debuted at Frankfurt in September 1959, with the new T-5 body style, while available engine options remained unchanged. The updates heralded by the 356B were far more than skin deep.

In Porsche’s official magazine, Ferry Porsche stated, “When we do change something, we don't just make small alterations, following the dictates of fashion.” Continuing, he said “our refinements - and sometimes these are very numerous - are very often invisible ones. The engine, the roadholding, the safety, and the driving comfort: these things above all are the goal toward which we strive."

In 1960, Porsche first offered the "Super 90" motor, its most powerful pushrodtype engine to date, as an available 356B option. Suspension upgrades were another benefit of the performance package. Body design continued to progress with the introduction of the refined T-6 style for 1962, which continued in use to the end of 356 model production in 1965. Main T-6 features included twin engine-cover grilles for improved cooling, relocation of the fuel filler to the right front fender, and a squared-off boot lid up front. The UK’s Autocar road tested a Porsche 356B Super 90 in 1962 and its words continue to ring true.

“Porsche motoring is incomparable. No other car makes quite the same noise or has the same feel, very few are as well-engineered or durable. The Super 90 can go like the wind on the straight, and hurry safely along roads where more clumsy cars have to take it easy.” In conclusion, Autocar reported “…it is a highly civilized transport for those who have to cover long journeys when

time means money and prefer active to passive motoring.”

Delivered new to AMAG Switzerland, this 1963 Porsche 356B 1600 Super 90 Coupe, which is arguably the most desirable of the 356B models, was finished in 6202 Ruby Red over black leatherette, the same livery it wears today. The subject of a previous restoration, this 356B is the recipient of a more recent comprehensive mechanical and cosmetic freshening, which included a restoration of the entire braking system, shocks, sway bar bushings, and body rubbers and seals. The steel wheels were refurbished and correct new 165SR15 XZX tires were mounted.

A formidable example for driving and touring duties, this 356B has had an engine and mechanical freshening by Moorespeed of Austin, Texas, and a rebuild that was completed in 2024 by Air Cooled Porsche specialist Benton Performance of Anaheim, California. The 90-horsepower 1,582cc OHV air-cooled four-cylinder numbers-matching engine and four-speed manual transaxle are ready to be enjoyed by its next caretaker. A sleek and classy example, it is fitted with a Blaupunkt radio, enamel crested hubcaps, seatbelts, luggage liner, and Sigla and Sekurit etched glass. Accompanying the sale is a driver’s manual, matching spare tire with leather strap, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and copy of its original Kardex. Mechanically fit and presented in its attractive original color configuration, this desirable ’63 Porsche 356B 1600 Super 90 Coupe is ideal for traveling winding roads, downtown commutes, or casual weekend drives.

nown as the Art Deco Era, the 1920s and ‘30s are responsible for producing some of the finest works of art on wheels, automobiles that near perfection but are only missing creature comforts and performance of the modern day. Looking to bridge the gap between the two, former editor of Hot Rod and Car Craft magazines, automotive stylist Terry Cook founded Deco Rides, as well as Delahaye USA. Originally starting his professional career as

a successful automotive journalist by day and hot rodder at night, Cook eventually began manufacturing his own car designs in the early 1990s. His first of many successes to come started with his 1939 Scrape Zephyr, a unique twist to the Lincoln Zephyr that also had all the modern-day conveniences. He would go on to sell that car in the ‘90s for an astounding $275,000 at auction, and thus, Terry Cook and Deco Rides instantly became world-renowned.

From the creative mind of Terry Cook and his company Deco Rides, integrating much of the sensational styling from the custom that jumpstarted his career, is this ultra custom 1939 Deco Rides Lincoln Zephyr Special Delivery and Streamlined BMW bike that were specifically built to be a work of art at the centerpiece of one’s collection. Finding a niche in making fiberglass bodies, Cook would go on to sell around 250 coupe and convertible Zephyr versions, but perhaps his most coveted, would be the sedan delivery, such as this, as only a half a dozen of them were crafted. The build would commence in 2023 with lead builder Roger Austin of Florida. The body was chopped eight inches, and the flat windshield was replaced with a curved one. Because interior room was needed for the rear stored motorcycle, the chassis was converted to front-wheel-drive, the back two thirds of the frame were fabricated from scratch, and the rear suspension was replaced by a Mark VIII Lincoln. Air Ride suspension is fitted in both the front and rear and can be lowered or raised at the touch of a button. The powertrain was sourced from a 2003 Ford, as it is equipped with a four-liter V-6 engine and automatic transmission.

The fiberglass body was equipped with frenched ’39 Ford headlights and rare ’41 Hudson taillights to have a unique touch on both ends of the build. The brass trim wrapping around the exterior beltline came from Rotex Metals in Brooklyn, New York, and the chrome work was done by Frankford Plating of Philadelphia. To help showcase its lines and curves, the body was painted Hot Rod Black from Medallion and applied by Roger Austin. Open up the exotic Lamborghini-style doors and you are greeted by an impressive interior that was carried out by Nick’s

Creations of Port Orange, Florida. A focal point in the cabin is a rare 1960s Chrysler “goldfish bowl” speedometer. Modern day amenities include a center-mounted TV screen with a rear vision camera, power windows, air-conditioning, air bag controls, microswitch to open the doors, and something most customs lack, cup holders. Perhaps the most unique feature of this custom, one that few others can boast, is the hollowed-out rear compartment which contains an electric linear actuator, which is used to move a custom streamlined bike in and out for travel/storage. A linear actuator is used on the rear door, so it can be automatically opened or closed at the push of a button. Now onto the streamlined 1955 BMW R69 750cc electric start conversion that Cook had acquired. A three-man styling collaboration between Terry Cook, body man Kyle Yocum, and Larry Erickson, former Chief Designer at Ford for the 2005 Mustang and designer of ZZ Top’s world famous “Cadzzilla”, the design carried out a futuristic and streamlined look and feel that makes it look fast standing still. Rather than painting the bike, the body was left in the burnished aluminum, which further enhances the beautiful, streamlined craftsmanship and design.

Cook’s creations can be seen throughout the world, in private collections and museums, like the Louwman Museum located in the Netherlands.

Recently finished in 2024, this ultra custom made its official debut at the NSRA Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky, and was the talk of the town, as it is a showstopper in the truest sense. Offered from one of the first and best in the business, this custom Zephyr, which is accompanied by the streamlined motorcycle, is ready to continue winning awards all around the world.

T

he best way to describe this Chopper are the direct words from Rick Fairless - a legendary custom builder and owner of Strokers Dallas from Dallas, Texas.

Rick stated: “In 2005, I was on an airplane with my wife; she was reading some romance novel and I was thinking about a new custom build I wanted to do. I was thinking...the motor is the heart of the motorcycle, so what if I had a frame that curved around the motor...that could be cool. I drew it out and liked what I saw. When I got back to the shop, I found a metal shop that could bend 6-inch tubing.

The frame would have the gas tank in the main part of the frame and the oil would be on the lower part of the frame with a little cooling area between the two. I knew that my idea of the curved frame had

never been done before so I was excited to build it.

As she started going together, I made an observation that she was very curvy like Bettie Page and suddenly the bike had a name...”Bettie”! I wanted a big fat rear tire with no rear fender. I made the spoke wheels curvy, as a child would draw the sun with sun rays! I wanted lots of rake with a Springer front end. "Bettie" had to have a big, painted motor! I wanted the paint to be a plethora of bright colors, in a psychedelic style since that is kind of my signature anyway. We painted all kinds of ‘60s, groovy designs all over the bike - checkerboard lips, mushrooms, a flower with an eyeball in the center, Koi fish, abstract John Lennon, a four-headed dog, the Zig Zag guy and of course an abstract Bettie Page painted prominently on the top center of the bike! When I revealed this bike to

the world, it was unlike anything anybody had ever seen before, people’s minds were blown...Mission Accomplished! To this day, I believe that “Bettie” is still one of the coolest motorcycles on the planet!”

“Bettie” features a custom frame that contains both the gas and oil tanks within the incredible custom artwork. Powered by a Total Performance 121-cubic inch V-Twin engine with belt drive, a huge springer front end, a solo saddle, and a rigid rear end and super-wide custom wheels and tires. If a one-of-akind custom chopper is on your bucket list, there are few opportunities like this one, to bid on a true legendary bike known as “Bettie” to custom cycle enthusiasts everywhere. Why hang art on the wall when this is literally art you can ride?

first time I have a Corvette which I am proud to use in Europe.”

Styled in General Motors' Art and Colour Studio under Bill Mitchell, the new Corvette featured radical styling pioneered on Mitchell's successful Stingray sports-racer. As had been the case with the

ntroduced for 1963, the heavily revised 'Sting Ray' version sported a totally new ladder-type chassis and for the first time there was a Gran Turismo Coupe in the range. This new chassis was the work of Corvette Chief Engineer, Zora Arkus-Duntov who said: “For the

previous (1956-62) generation of Corvettes, development proceeded slowly, being characterized by annual facelifts and few engineering changes of note. The longoverdue arrival of four-wheel disc brakes was the most significant development for 1965. To say that the Sting Ray's arrival caused a sensation would be grossly understating its impact on the North American sports car market. Indeed, such was its runaway success that the St. Louis factory hired a second shift but still could not build cars fast enough to meet demand. Now recognized as representing a 'Golden Age' for the Corvette, the “Mid-Year” Sting Ray was manufactured from 1963 to 1967 and has since gone on to become a highly collectible modern classic.

The Sting Ray, of course, continued and the Corvette would go on to become one of the world's best-selling and longest-lived sports cars.

The opportunity to walk into a 1960s Chevrolet Dealership and purchase a new Corvette has long passed; however, this 1967 Chevrolet Corvette L79 327/350 Roadster is about as close as you can get to acquiring a like-new second generation Corvette. Presented with just one private owner from new, who cherished and loved this Corvette with the love one has for a child, sports a mere 23,149 actual miles from new. Purchased just days before taking his new girlfriend on their first date, this Roadster would be central to their relationship and decades-long marriage. Many have parked a daily driver in the driveway to protect that beloved sports car, as was the case here.

The exceptionally low miles are a testament to the overall amazingly preserved original condition. Meticulously kept and maintained, routine maintenance records with mileage verification and a copy of the original Ohio title fortify its odometer reading of just 23,149. The original Sunfire Yellow paint, soft top, and black vinyl hardtop all present remarkably well. This Vette is equipped with its original five N89 Kelsey-Hayes aluminum bolt-on wheels. Of the 22,900 Corvettes built for 1967, only a reported 720 examples were so equipped, further enhancing its collectability.

This L79 Vette also left the factory with desirable side mount exhausts. Retaining its original 350-horsepower 327-cubic-inch V-8 engine and four-speed manual transmission, this Vette fires right up, and idles smoothly.

Documenting all this is a treasure trove of original documentation, which includes its original dealer sales invoice, purchase documents, warranty book, Protect-O-Plate, meticulously kept routine maintenance records with mileage verification, and most amazingly, the tank sticker still affixed to the tank. Other documents include trim tag, Protect-O-Plate, cylinder case and engine pad CCAS of affirmation from prestigious and renowned Al Grenning. Opportunities to purchase an unrestored like-new Corvette from the ‘60s are seldom seen. With all of the original components including engine, interior, and paint it will qualify for preservation class and benchmark judging in important shows and concours everywhere. Accompanied by all the right documents, pinned with just one private owner, and being offered for public sale for the very first time since 1967, this L79 Corvette Roadster is a true time capsule that will make quite the scene at prestigious judged events or proudly displayed in one’s discerning collection.

619 1941 Chrysler Town & Country 'Barrelback' Station Wagon This lot is available for online bidding at WorldwideAuctioneers.com VIN: 7714767

• 1 of 24 known surviving Barrelbacks; 1 of just 4 known six-passenger examples • Ownership believed to include the Louis Vuitton family • Listed in the Chrysler Town & Country Owners Registry • One of the more desirable pre-war wood-bodied cars

A

s America was recovering from the Depression, the automotive industry was moving forward with new, more powerful engines, advances in handling, safety, and passenger comfort, while creating vehicles that people wanted and needed for busy active lives. David A. Wallace who had joined Chrysler in 1929 as a Master Mechanic and quickly rose through the ranks, had been

appointed President of the Chrysler Division by 1937. Unlike many executives, he was an enthusiastic car guy and an inventor having 70 patents issued to him during his career. One of his better ideas was for a long-wheelbase Suburban-type vehicle that could carry up to nine passengers while providing space for their luggage and personal belongings. Wallace came up with the basic dimensions

for this station wagon-type vehicle and designed one of its most notable features, the “clamshell” style rear doors that would help it earn the nickname as the “Barrelback”. He called on one of Chrysler’s most talented designers, Arnolt “Buzz” Grisinger, to work with Chrysler’s body engineering teams to smooth and refine Wallace’s original ideas and create this entirely new vehicle. The body panels were framed in white ash, which had plentiful quantities in Michigan, combined with beautifully grained Honduran mahogany for the panels on the doors and body sides. The Town & Country models were among the highest priced in the series.

One of the most sought-after pre-war Chryslers, this six-passenger ‘Barrelback’ Town & Country’s is 1 of just 200 examples built for the model year. In total, 996 ‘Barrelbacks’ were built in 1941 between the sixand nine-passengers, of which just 24 are known to survive today, and just 4 six-passenger examples are listed in the Town & Country Chapter of the National Woodie Club. Said to have been built on May 16, 1941, this ‘Barrelback’ was delivered to its first owner who lived in Syracuse, New York. Eventually this Town & Country would be exported from California to Europe in the early 2000s. The current owner, a former Executive Vice President of the Town & Country Chapter of the National Woodie Club, would acquire this woodie in 2010 from a Belgian broker, who reported that this woodie was from the seventh generation Louis Vuitton family. It was aptly nicknamed and has become known as “Louie”. The current owner would return this ‘Barrelback’ to his home in California and commission a refurbishment of the white ash and Honduran mahogany wood panels, maroon leather upholstery and carpeting,

which would take place between 2014 and 2015. A special appearance, thanks to its signature curved barrel back rear, the well-varnished wood and steel body feature swan-neck side mirrors, a driver’s side cowl-mounted spotlight, and the words “Metro Goldwyn Mayer” hand-painted on the front doors.

The inside is lead by the aforementioned maroon leather interior, which is paired with varnished door panels and ivory-color marbled plastic accents. Power is derived from a well-sorted 241-cid L-head inline six-cylinder engine that is mated to a column-shifted fluid drive four-speed semiautomatic transmission. Work performed under the hood includes a rebuild of the carburetor and generator, and a replacement of the center engine block freeze plug. Other work performed under the current owner’s care includes the transmission shift forks, rear transmission seal, right-rear axle seal, and rear spring shackles all being replaced. A very solid and mechanically maintained example, the owner notes this rare woodie is ready for spirited driving, as he did an 800-mile round trip from Sausalito, California to Harbor City and back without any issues. Accompanying the sale of this Town & Country are three rare salesmen’s booklets. Very few of these outstanding 'Barrelbacks' were produced in 1941 and today a very finite number of these examples are known to exist. "Louie" is a beautiful example of American woodworking combined with steel sculpting. Beautifully finished and painstakingly maintained, this six-passenger Town and Country presents a seldom seen opportunity for the serious collector to acquire one of the most attractive, luxurious and rare wood-bodied station wagons ever produced.

redesign focuses on maximizing downforce over the front and optimizing clean airflow over the rear spoiler. To achieve weight reduction, Ferrari used carbon fiber and Alcantara throughout the Pista. As a result, the new model is 90 kilograms lighter than the standard 488, while providing 20 percent more downforce.

The 488 Pista exemplifies Ferrari’s commitment to performance and innovation, combining advanced aerodynamics with

nfluenced by the 488 GTB and 488 Challenge, Ferrari unveiled the 488 Pista at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. This model boasts significant upgrades, including new camshafts, reinforced pistons, a larger intercooler, and Inconel exhaust manifolds derived from the Challenge series. These enhancements enabled the engine to deliver unforgettable performance at 8,000 rpm. Gear changes are swift at just 30 milliseconds while in race mode. The exterior

cutting-edge materials.

A few months later, at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, Ferrari introduced the 488 Pista Spider. Remarkably, this open-topped variant weighs even less than its fixed-roof counterpart, making it the first Ferrari-badged road car to achieve this distinction. Additionally, the Pista Spider is Ferrari’s 50th open model, continuing the legacy of performance and design excellence from Maranello.

A stunning example, as it is the highestperforming 488-series car from Ferrari, is this 2020 488 Pista Spider. Finished in Rosso Corsa with a full length extended white and blue racing stripe, this Pista features curvaceous and sexy lines that evoke the desire of even the purist. Exterior options include red brake calipers that peak through the 20-inch forged diamond wheels, Scuderia shields, and lightweight carbon fiber components. The cockpit is trimmed in optional Nero Alcantara throughout with subtle hints of leather and carbon fiber. The seats are adorned with the Cavallino emblem stitched in the head rests, while there is a white and blue stripe that runs the full length and carries into the LED carbon fiber steering wheel, matching that of the extended exterior racing stripe.

The LED carbon steering wheel is adorned with controls for everything from the suspension settings

to the wipers, putting all critical functions at your fingertips, a nod to Ferrari’s racing pedigree. The 488 comes with tech amenities such as an integrated navigation system and Bluetooth audio system with six-speakers placed throughout the cabin.

Other interior items include Rosso seat belts and a parking camera.

Power is derived from a twin-turbocharged 3.9-litre V-8 engine that generates a thrilling 711 horsepower and 597 lbs-ft of torque. A seven-speed automatic gearbox is responsible for sending the power to the rear wheels and creating a 2.7-second 0 to 60 time. Performance wise, it is a worthy contender against any supercar, but don’t just take our word for it. While in testing, Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson had this to say about the Pista, “One of the most exciting, thrilling, beautiful and satisfying cars ever made,” further saying, “because the Pista is not just good. Or brilliant. It’s way beyond that.” High praise from a man that has driven just about every supercar and hypercar imaginable. Accompanying the sale is a Ferrari tool kit and Ferrari Fix & Go sensor.

Ordered new, well-optioned and always cared for as a favorite in the Lone Star Estate Collection, this 2020 488 Pista Spider is a wonderful and exhilarating supercar from the storied Italian firm, Ferrari.

n the summer of 1929, E. L. Cord introduced his fabulous new creation, which bore his name; the front-wheel-drive Cord L-29.

The L-29 was offered initially in Sedan, Brougham, Phaeton, and the sporty and elegant Cabriolet form, at prices ranging from $3,095 to $3,295. Once a deal was struck, cars were supplied in chassis form to independent coachbuilders, like the closed models built

In total, just 5,010 L-29s were built, and according to ACD historians, it is thought that around a mere 300 of all types exist today. The L-29 remains one of the most handsome, technically interesting, and collectible automobiles of the Classic Era, and this cabriolet is arguably one of the finest in existence.

Offered from the personal collection of noted L-29 Cord restorer Ken Clark, this example has enjoyed the company of just three owners since new in the 1930s. Mr. Clark would acquire this example in 2005 from long-term care-taker Dorrence Perry of Connecticut, who owned this Cord from 1937 until 2005, acquiring it from the original owner. According to Mr. Perry’s daughter, Dorrence actually drove this Cord to the World’s Fair in New York City in 1939. In 1945, Dorrence would retire this Cord and place it in storage until Clark took ownership in 2005, resulting in an untouched and highly original automobile. Mr. Clark would further inpsect and disassemble this Cabriolet and note that it was 99 percent original at the time and that he was able to preserve, restore and keep 99 percent of the original components, bits and pieces. This makes this example one of, if not the, most authentically original L-29 Cabriolets in existence.

Documented by photos upon his purchase, as

well as during the restoration process, Mr. Clark would take eight years before completing this highly original Cord, upon which it received its ACD Club Category One Certification. In which, it is noted this example wears the same incredible black and copper color scheme it did when new in 1930. Every nut and bolt was attended to, any wood needing attention was replaced, and the 125-HP 298-cid Lycoming eight-cylinder engine and mechanicals were thoroughly gone through. Since the extensive restoration was completed, this Cord has traveled less than 350 miles and has enjoyed a life of luxury being displayed in the National Auto & Truck Museum in Auburn, Indiana. Always properly maintained, but rarely making public appearances, this example has captured Best L-29 Cord at the ACD Club Reunion on two different occasions and has also received its CCCA and AACA Senior Award badges. Accompanying the sale of this Cord is the ACD certification, as well as six NOS dual white Martin Tires.

ACD Club Certified, multi-award winner in an array of different clubs and venues, and a mere three owners from new, it now hails from the personal collection of one of the top L-29 Cord restorers in the country. One of the most authentic examples in existence, with a dazzling original color combination, this L-29 is a true gem from the Art Deco Era.

They were produced in three distinct body styles designated as OTS (Open Two-Seater) that had a canvas top that folded out of sight behind the front seats, a Drophead Coupé which had roll-up side windows and a top that lowered onto the body, and a Coupé.

he Jaguar XK140 was introduced in 1955 and production ran through early 1957. It was a successor to the XK120 with many upgrades making it much more of a “driver’s car”. The XK140 got its nomenclature as a result of exceeding 140 mph at the Jabekke test track in Belgium with Norman Dewis at the wheel as Jaguar’s best known test driver. The 140s upgrades included

The XK140 was powered by a 3.4-litre engine with 190 horsepower. A “Special Equipment” version or “MC” as it is known in the U.S., was produced with the racing ‘C’ Type cylinder head producing 210 horsepower. There were a total of 3347 OTS (Roadsters) made during the production run with very few of them being equipped with the SE option. Exact SE production numbers are vague at best but they are considered the rarest of the breed. A striking example of the eminently usable XK140, chassis S812258 is confirmed by its certificate issued by the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust to have been built on June 11, 1956, and delivered new to Jaguar Cars, New York, where it was subsequently acquired by its first owner, Mr. J. Seronde Jr. of Maynard, Massachusetts. Its VIN and engine number combination clearly decodes the car to have been a 'Special Equipment' model, with its 'S' chassis prefix and its 'S' engine suffix confirming it to have had the 'C' Type head when new. This particular car is one of the rare XK140 MC OTS versions and it has spent its entire life in Southern California. It was located by a friend of the current owner in the late 1990s as a true barn find. The car spent much of its later years awaiting a frame-off restoration. The restoration began early in 2011 with a complete and correct matching numbers engine and transmission rebuilt to factory specs. All numbers have been verified according to the Jaguar Heritage and the JDHT Certificate that accompanies the car. As a rare matching numbers and unmolested car, careful attention was spent to

make sure every stage of the restoration was documented and detailed with photos, including photos of the car before the restoration began. All of these have been placed in a binder that also accompany the car.

The bodywork and Carmine Red paint was completed by Mark Oja, who many recognize from the show “Overhaulin'”, as Mark was the painter of choice by Chip Foose. Much of the work was then finished between the current owner and Muncie Imports. All original body panels were used in the restoration as pictures will show a virtual rust-free car to start with. All original parts that could be restored were restored as well as many fasteners. The result is an XK140 MC that is one of the most accurate restorations anywhere. Unlike many restorations, this car is well-sorted and runs and drives as well as it looks.

This stunning Jaguar has been invited and shown around the country at some of the most well-known concours and has traveled the country to various JCNA events consistently scoring 100 points and achieving two North American JCNA Championships. It received “Best Jaguar” at the Cincinnati Concours, it has won first place in some very tough classes at the Hilton Head Concours, Keeneland Concours and Milwaukee Concours, as well as taking Best of Show at the Carmel Artomobila. This example is in concours condition today and is certainly one of the most impressive examples of any XK140 MC in North America.

The updated Series 355A V-8 models featured updated styling for 1930 with a lower and longer chassis with a

one inch. Underneath, the 1931 Cadillac models rode atop new chassis frames with rear springs now mounted directly below the frame rails and fitted with metal covers for a clean appearance. Up front, radiators were repositioned lower within the chassis and a condenser tank was added. Cadillac's highly regarded V-8 engine retained its 353-cubic-inch displacement and standard 95-horsepower factory rating for 1931, with a new intake silencer and 5-point engine mounts adding further refinement. As before, power was delivered

by Cadillac's refined driveline, including a synchromesh three-speed manual transmission and several available rear-axle ratios. General Motors' coachbuilding subsidiaries Fisher and Fleetwood supplied a wide array of open and closed body styles ranging from sporty to formal for Cadillac's updated Series 355A V-8 chassis for 1931.

In addition to the jaunty rumble seat for two and golf bag door, this Fleetwood-bodied Cadillac is very well-accessorized with chrome depressed-beam headlamps, Trippe Safety Lights, a chrome radiator-grille guard, "Goddess" radiator mascot, twin side-mounted spares topped with chrome mirrors, and a rear luggage rack. The 353-cubic-inch V-8 engine, surrounding engine compartment, and chassis are all very well-finished and detailed, consistent with the rest of the vehicle. Desirable and correct 'HC' high-compression (5.5:1) cylinder heads heighten performance and presence.

Silver wire-spoke wheels mounting period-style wide whitewall tires provide an ideal finishing touch.

With their many stylistic and mechanical refinements, Cadillac's Series 355A V-8 models of 1931 are widely regarded as outstanding driver's cars, and they remain a popular choice among classic touring enthusiasts. Elegance, style, and an undying commitment to quality made Cadillacs among the finest automobiles of the period. Today, this example proudly displays those same characteristics.

such as overhead-valve gear for its six-cylinder engine, a centerchange gearbox and Hotchkiss drive rear axle, and the advanced newcomer's arrival only served to emphasize the Silver Ghost's Edwardian origins. However, the 45/50-horsepower model would soon benefit from developments pioneered on its smaller sibling.

Introduced by Rolls-Royce in 1925 to replace the Silver Ghost,

olls-Royce's 'single model' policy had proved an outstanding success for the company, but immediately after the end of The Great War, the recession in the motor trade prompted the introduction of a smaller, cheaper, 20-horsepower car to be built alongside the existing 40/50-horsepower Silver Ghost. Henry Royce's new design incorporated a number of modern features

the new Phantom (retrospectively known as the Phantom I) boasted an entirely new overhead-valve six-cylinder engine displacing 7,668cc and, like the contemporary 20-horsepower model, adopted a disc-type clutch and adjustable radiator shutters. Its chassis, though, remained essentially the same as that of the later, four-wheel-brake Silver Ghost and would continue fundamentally unchanged until the arrival of the Phantom II in 1929, which brought with it an entirely new frame. Like its Silver Ghost predecessor, the new Phantom was also produced by Rolls-Royce of America Incorporated, a subsidiary set up in December 1919 when the parent company purchased the American Wire Wheel Company's plant in Springfield, Massachusetts. Springfield commenced manufacture of the new Phantom in 1926 and, by the second half of 1929, production had risen to 12 cars per week. This would prove to be the high point of Rolls-Royce of America's fortunes. With the October '29 Wall Street Crash and the introduction of the Phantom II, retooling for which the U.S. company could not afford, signaled the beginning of its decline. The Phantom I was in production for only five years and the Derby-built models ran parallel with the Springfield cars but ended in 1929, whereas the American-produced cars continued until 1931.

Unlike its British-built counterpart, the American product could be ordered with 'factory' bodywork, usually by Brewster, the latter company having been taken over by Rolls-Royce in December 1925. As well as manufacturing

coachwork of the highest quality, Brewster had built its own automobiles from 1915 up to the time of its acquisition by Rolls-Royce, re-emerging as an automaker in its own right. Using Ford chassis, when U.S. Phantom production finally ceased in 1934, the company became part of the reconstituted Springfield Manufacturing Corporation. This classic Rolls-Royce was produced in Springfield, Massachusetts, and fitted with elegant seven-passenger limousine coachwork

by Brewster of New York named the ‘Huntington.’ Finished in a dark green color with a black formal roof, fenders and wheels, features of this car include left-hand drive, wire wheels, dual side-mount tires with cloth covers and wide whitewall tires. The chauffeur’s compartment has a seat trimmed appropriately in black leather, while passengers enjoy a luxuriously appointed interior with a plush pleated and tufted cloth rear seat and gracefully sweeping armrests, as well as two collapsible jump seats. Additional interior amenities include a rear clock, a glass divider window, and a metal bar suspended by two upholstered straps that could be used as an assist handle or a place to hang a blanket. Although this car was restored many years ago, it remains in excellent condition and now benefits from a charming patina and elegance one would perhaps associate with a fine piece of furniture. It spent many years in the noted Gordon Granger collection prior to its more recent time in the Lone Star Estate Collection. This stately Rolls-Royce presents an excellent opportunity to acquire an example of one of the great late-series Phantom I cars that is full of style and character.

model raced in NASCAR be built in sufficient quantity to supply all the manufacturer's U.S. dealers. For Plymouth, that meant building nearly 2,000 of its bullet-shaped NASCAR Superbirds just to qualify them for racing on NASCAR's two high speed ovals, Daytona and Talladega. The concept was defined and the benefits were clear: "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday." A competitive Plymouth also would bring Petty Enterprises back to the Plymouth family. As a

he famous winged Mopars appeared first in 1969 with the Dodge Charger Daytona, carrying streamlining and aerodynamic downforce to new heights in NASCAR. The 1969 regulations required that Dodge build only 500 of the pointynose high-wing Daytonas. When Plymouth decided to emulate the success of the Daytona with the Road Runner Superbird in 1970, NASCAR made it quite a bit more difficult, requiring that any

racer, Richard wanted a competitive car to drive. As a businessman he wanted the Plymouth competition parts distribution franchise. He got both. Then Pete Hamilton, driving a Petty Enterprises Plymouth Road Runner Superbird, won the season-opening Daytona 500.

Even though the Dodge Charger and Plymouth Road Runner were built on the same mid-sized Chrysler platform, the bodywork was substantially different.

Plymouth was forced to develop its own variation on the extended nose, raised wing Charger concept. The Superbird's nose was 1-inch longer than the Charger's and had a raised entry angle. The rear wing stood on supports with much deeper chord which swept back farther and inclined gently toward the body's centerline. The Road Runner Superbird became the most popular and well-known of all the NASCAR specials built during the Sixties and Seventies, helped in no small measure by NASCAR's insistence that Plymouth build plenty of them so they created a high profile on the street. Most of the street Superbirds are very well-equipped with luxury and convenience options in addition to the performance equipment which was included in the Superbird package. Those included the 375-HP 440 Magnum V-8, TorqueFlite automatic transmission, performance axle, power steering, power disc brakes, and hood hold down pins. A black vinyl covered roof was also standard.

Most muscle cars have led a very hard life. Not many were purchased by

older folks that just wanted a grocery-getter and car to drive to church on Sundays. These cars were fast and the people that bought them wanted to go fast. When they sold them, the next buyer wanted to go fast as well. Many of the cars were raced, blew engines, destroyed their transmissions and/or were damaged in the process. However, a handful of muscle cars escaped these fates and remain in original condition, to delight of collectors everywhere. They are highly coveted and are rarely offered for sale. This 1970 Plymouth Superbird is one of those rare survivors – an unrestored, highly original car, that still retains approximately 80 percent of its original paint, that enthusiasts dream about.

This High-Impact Limelight Green Superbird is equipped with its original numbers-matching 440 6-pack engine and 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission. It is 1 of only 408 cars produced with this engine and transmission combination. The black vinyl top matches the original black bench seat interior.

Other equipment on this car includes an AM radio, power steering, power front disc brakes, an 8 ¾ rear end with 3.55 Sure-Grip gears and 15-inch factory rally wheels wrapped with BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. This rare bird also has two build sheets to authenticate it. This is a very original, authentic and well-cared for Superbird, presenting a rare chance to acquire a great unrestored 'Winged Mopar' muscle car that is one of the most iconic of the era.

company from certain doom, but along with it, Packard still satisfied the needs of society’s best with a fine line of beautiful 12-cylinder cars. For 1938, Packard’s senior cars now shared bodies with the eight-cylinder cars, but the Packard Twelve still reigned supreme with no equal in terms of length, beauty, and elegance.

Offered here is a beautiful 1938 Model 1607 Convertible Coupe powered by the famous 12-cylinder engine that’s finely engineered and whisper-quiet. The flowing lines of this convertible coupe are

ffered from a noted collection ckard not only built a reliable car, but his company would go on to define the very meaning of the word luxury in the American car. As the decades wore on, it was not unusual to find James Ward Packard’s fine motorcars in the parking lots of high-society events. Packard’s cars were exclusive to the higher echelons of society and it wasn’t until 1935, with the introduction of the Model 120, that Packard even gave thought to building a car for the middle class. Of course, the 120 saved the

nicely accented by its factory dual side-mounted spare tires with factory steel covers. The Packard Cormorant mascot rides proudly atop its massive grille and a set of bullet-styled headlamps and driving lights complete the commanding look of this gorgeous car. This Packard Twelve rides on a set of wide whitewall tires that give its long and flowing lines just the right look.

Acquired by the John Wolsiefer Sr. Collection in the late 1980s, this Packard Twelve remained in his care for over 30 years. Following his purchase, he enjoyed the car for many years after which the determination was made to restore it. The fit and finish in the restoration are impressive with a stunning periodcorrect combination of Graphite Gray exterior color accented by red pinstriping at the belt line and a black convertible top with red piping. The interior is upholstered in gorgeous red leather and is adorned with all the opulent trim appointments for which a car of this stature is known. The dashboard is finished in a contrasting silver and houses all gauges across the center. The large Packard steering wheel carries the iconic Packard crest and the windshield moldings sport a faux wood finish. At the rear,

rumble seat passengers are treated to open-air motoring at its finest with more red leather and plenty of legroom. This convertible coupe is also equipped with a golf bag access door on each side of the body. Power comes from Packard’s tried and proven 473.3-cubic-inch L-head V-12 engine that is rated at 175 horsepower mated to a three-speed synchromesh manual transmission. The engine compartment is clean and well-sorted with proper colors and wiring. Before letting go of this example, Mr. Wolsiefer had all the fuel lines replaced and a new clutch was installed, ensuring it would be a top performer on CCCA CARavan and grand touring events alike. The current owner would welcome this example into his grand collection in 2018, where it has since been sparingly exercised and always properly stored and maintained.

Packard built their 12-cylinder engine from 1933 to 1939, and in that time, they created a work of art with each motorcar. This dashing and well-cared for Convertible Coupe was a special car when new and has since been cherished by long-term noted owners and still retains all its grace and beauty in the present day.

would triumph over its apparent shortcomings so effectively that it now rates as one of the most successful rally cars of the 1960s.

A development of the preceding 100/6 rather than a genuinely new model, the Austin-Healey 3000 was launched in March 1959.

The two cars looked virtually identical and under the skin was

he new Austin-Healey MkI was recognized early on as a superb sports car. “A classic competition car among the all-time greats in motoring history,” was how The Autocar magazine summed up the works of the Austin-Healey 3000. Yet at the time of its arrival in 1959, few would have guessed that the low-slung 'Big Healey'

the same separate ladder-type chassis and independent front and live rear axle suspension. The enlargement of its C-Series six-cylinder engine to 2,912cc (3-litre) and the adoption of Girling front disc brakes differentiated it from the preceding 100/6.

Designed as a sports car and indeed quite successful in rallying and racing, the Austin-Healey had, by 1960, evolved into the far more civilized and capable machine as offered here. The MkI was available in two- and four-seat versions, before it was replaced with the 3000 MkII in 1961. This car also features dual SU carburetors bringing the factory rated horsepower to 132. Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox. Contemporary road tests typically recorded performance figures of 114 mph top speed and a 0-60 mph time of approximately 11 seconds. In 1960, the marque saw great success on the competitive international rally scene, with Pat Moss and Ann Wisdom winning the Liege-Rome-Liege, Coupes des Dames in Geneva, and the Tulip Rally.

This exceptional MkI BN7, according to its certificate from the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, was completed by the factory on June 10, 1960, and delivered new to Dusseldorf, Germany. This car is one of the last MkI two-seat cars produced and is 1 of only 947 left-hand drive MkI BN7 cars created in 1960.

This Austin-Healey was ordered new by an American Air Force Wing Commander in the Strategic Air Command while stationed in Germany. He married while stationed there, taking his new bride on their honeymoon

throughout Europe in the car. In 1964, the Commander had his Austin-Healey flown via C-47 double level cargo plane into Castle Air Force Base located in Atwater, California. It was retained by its original owner and stored in his barn in Fairfield, California, until his passing in 1987. The Commander’s daughter was left with the car and some of the family members intended to have it restored but never got around to it. Subsequently the car was discovered by noted Austin-Healey restorer Tom Rocke of Healey Lane Restorations who acquired it and performed a comprehensive, body-off-the-frame restoration in 2010 on this rare car for his wife and titled it in her name. It was found during restoration the car was exceptionally original and retained its original engine and driveline components. An album full of restoration pictures, an entire restoration list and other documentation tracing the car back to its origin accompany the car. Finished as it was originally in black and ivory white with a black top and interior, this classic Austin-Healey is exquisite in every way.

In the current owner’s possession, the car has won several awards, including a class win at the 2013 Indianapolis Motor Speedway Celebration of Automobile Concours, as well as a class win in 2015 at the Carmel Artomobilia. The BN7 remains in concours condition to this day, a testament to both the high quality of its restoration and the fastidious care it has received. Perfectly suited for concours shows, club events or tours, this iconic British sports car is a delight to see and is most satisfying to drive.

• Proper factory authorized accessories • Excellent mechanical condition and stunning eye-appeal

B

the assembly lines operating, the 1948 models were continued for several months, carried over and offered as the 1949 Chrysler First Series. On January 11, 1949, the first of the all-new 1949 Chryslers started to emerge from their car factories, presenting five series, Windsor and Royal with six-cylinder power, the larger Saratoga and New Yorker with eight cylinders, plus the luxurious Imperial line. The Town & Country returned in 1949, initially to be offered in

orn of the need for a utilitarian vehicle, the original Town & Country “barrel-back” station sedans were impressive machines.

In the post-war world, Chrysler’s limited production of Town & Country models were traffic builders for the showroom, but the maintenance and upkeep of the wood panels was beyond the capabilities of many of the owners. Chrysler’s all-new post-war 1949 models were delayed in being readied for production so to keep

convertible and hardtop coupe body styles; however, only the open car would make it to the floors of Chrysler showrooms.

Chrysler relied on the maintenance-free steel panel for body construction while the use of real wood, custom crafted sturdy ash, was used only for decorative trim as a way to set it apart from the regular New Yorker convertible. Body panels were decorated with simulated woodgrain Di-Noc applique which replaced the actual mahogany panels seen in previous seasons. 1949 was still a bit of a seller’s market and Chrysler used the Town & Country as their flagship model hoping to bring in customers to check it out, and if not purchase this top-of-the-line car, at least buy a bread-and-butter family sedan. For 1949, a total of 993 Town & Country convertibles were produced during the shortened model year. Riding on a 131.5inch wheelbase, the ride of the new Chrysler eight-cylinder models was a bit of an improvement over the first post-war offerings. 1949 marked the 25th Anniversary of the brand and sales literature told prospects of the “hundreds of thousands of customers” who had “pleasure, safety and enjoyment” behind the Silver Wings of Chrysler. The beautifully illustrated catalogs of the day promoted the Town & Country by boldly stating, “With all respect to our contemporaries, we believe you will not find, in this country or abroad, a car of such consummate beauty of such distinguished smartness as the Chrysler Town & Country Convertible Coupe.” All New Yorker models, including these wood-trimmed beauties were powered by the Spitfire Eight with 323.5-cubic-inch displacement and rated at 135 horsepower. Fluid Drive with the “Presto-Matic” transmission were standard and let owners know that shifting gears was now a thing of the past.

This elegant New Yorker-based convertible sits today as a reminder of the quality

that went into those Chrysler products of this era. Treated to a full cosmetic and mechanical restoration during the early 2000s, for the last two decades it has been a part of an extensive collection of vehicles that have been cared for and kept at the ready for service, but with very little actual road time. Painted with its original Pearl Tan, the original ash framing has been stained and varnished with a golden oak finish that complements the body color and its distinctive lines.

The interior has been completely redone in Navy Blue leather with Bedford cloth inserts. Chrysler’s exclusive new-for-1949 curved “Safety Cushion” dashboard houses the bright chrome trimmed “Safety Eye” instrument cluster with gauges centrally located in front of the driver and shrouded to eliminate reflections. The accessory radio is located in the center of the dash within easy reach of the driver, while the electric clock, a standard item in the Town & Country, is mounted in front of the right front seat passenger. Those roomy comfortable full-width seats can accommodate up to six adult passengers, making this ride perfect for friends or family. The Spitfire Eight comes to life easily and shifts with minimal effort thanks to the well-engineered Presto-Matic transmission.

Recently, this car was given a reawakening with attention paid to the fuel, cooling, and brake systems where all fluids were changed or filled as needed.

Given a thorough test drive will ensure this Town & Country is ready to serve its new owner with pride. In addition to the radio, other accessories include wide whitewall tires, a driver’s side spotlight, and a right-hand exterior rearview mirror for extra safety. The 1949 Chrysler Town & Country would be the last American convertible to use actual wood trim, and it does leave a lasting impression for those who have a chance to experience the elegance of this post-war icon.

n the realm of luxury automobiles, few names evoke the same sense of prestige and craftsmanship as Bentley. This 2022 Bentley Continental Mulliner Convertible, a testament to this legacy, emerges not merely as a vehicle but as a pinnacle of automotive artistry and engineering excellence. The genesis of this automobile begins in Crewe, England, where Bentley’s storied headquarters hum with the activity of skilled artisans and

engineers. Each Continental Mulliner Convertible starts its journey as a Continental GT, already a paragon of luxury and performance, before being entrusted to Mulliner. There, the transformation into something extraordinary begins. An elegant example from the prestigious Bentley brand, this Bentley Continental GTC Mulliner Convertible was the 2022 ‘The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering’ factory display car. The Quail is a world-renowned exclusive event

for motorsports enthusiasts and collectors that takes place at The Quail Lodge & Golf Club in Carmel Valley, California, the same week as the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. The event has been held for 20 years and features a gathering of spectacular automobiles, with many companies displaying and debuting new models, such as Bentley. Having been sent to Mulliner, Bentley’s personal commissioning division that creates bespoke luxury cars and offers premium options for production cars, it carries many unique touches compared to a standard Continental GT and GTC. Cloaked in an elegant shade of Ice Glacier White, over a Cognac and black hand-stitched, quilted, diamond patterned leather interior, the Mulliner motif is proudly displayed throughout. The Mulliner Convertible is immediately distinguishable by its unique design elements.

The striking double-diamond grille, a signature of Mulliner craftsmanship, sets the tone, exuding a sense of elegance and power. This motif extends to the side vents which display the Mulliner name and were meticulously crafted to harmonize with the vehicle’s flowing lines. The 22-inch Mulliner wheels, with their elegant design and self-leveling center badges, add a finishing touch of sophistication and dynamic presence. Other noted features include satin silver side mirror caps and a quilted convertible boot cover with contrast diamond stitching that

matches the interior. Stepping into the cabin is a true experience, as occupants are first greeted by LED Mulliner branding on the rocker panels and the above-mentioned hand-stitched leather interior in a diamond quilted pattern. Other appointments include an all-digital dash with Mulliner panel graphics, rolling display that features temperature, compass, and stopwatch gauge and 12.3-inch entertainment screen when rolled over. Embedded underneath the screen, is a Breitling clock, the perfect touch of sophistication for a cabin that was built for the upper class.

Under the hood, the Continental Mulliner Convertible offers a formidable powerplant. A 4.0-litre V-8 engine delivers 542 horsepower and provides a thrilling yet refined drive, an experience of unparalleled power and smoothness. Paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, it is the height of British luxury and refinement. Having been in the care and maintenance of just one owner, the Lone Star Estate Collection, and carrying a clean CARFAX®, this GTC has traveled under 7,800 miles from new. Well-kept and fastidiously maintained, this 2022 The Quail Bentley Factory show car has been admired by thousands, thanks to its Mulliner craftsmanship, and would make a wonderful addition to one’s collection or rotation of luxury daily drivers.

many important ways, 1962 marked the beginning of the Bill Mitchell Era in Corvette styling. Use of chrome on the Corvette had been on the decline since its high point in 1958 and, by 1962, its use was relatively minimal. The curvaceous rear quarter panels and color contrasting-colored side scallops of earlier Corvettes were now gone, replaced with the muscular haunches and

any car enthusiasts consider the 1960s the golden age of high-performance cars. No car did more to usher in that era than the Chevrolet Corvette. Starting in 1955, the Corvette was offered with a V-8 engine. From then on, there was no looking back – the Corvette has carried the banner for American sporting cars, almost without interruption through to the present day. In

quad-taillights that preceded Larry Shinoda’s forthcoming sensational Stingray.

New for the Corvette in 1962 was the 327-cubic-inch V-8 engine, which replaced the venerable 283 in all Corvettes. With the optional fuel injection and solid lifters, up to 360 horsepower was on tap, offering proof that the horsepower race of the ’60s was well underway. The Corvette’s base price topped $4,000 for the first time. Surprisingly, the car weighed the same in 1962 as it did in 1953, despite being fitted with more equipment and structural reinforcements to improve rigidity. This was achieved by eliminating the unnecessary bulk in the layers of the fiberglass skin, in what would become the final version of the first-generation Corvette.

Offered from a noted private Corvette collection, located in the Midwest, is this Roman Red 1962 Corvette 'Fuelie'. Meticulously restored to original factory standards, this example is the recipient of a prestigious NCRS Regional Top Flight

award, which it won at a Florida regional meet. Documenting that achievement is an NCRS letter signed by Corvette authority Roy Sinor. Perhaps no club is harder on originality and judging, so to win a Top Flight award from the National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS) is a true testament to the restoration and care this example has received. Retaining its original numbers matching 327-cubicinch 360-horsepower fuel-injected engine, it is 1 of just 1,918 fuel-injected examples of the 14,351 Corvettes produced in 1962. Backed by a four-speed manual transmission, its enjoyment is further elevated for roadgoing enjoyment.

Matching that of the body, a Roman Red hardtop is included with the sale of this Corvette. Other features include a white soft top, a classic black interior, and blackwall tires. Ready for open air motoring enjoyment or an addition to further judged events, this 1962 Corvette Fuelie is a true piece of American motoring history that is reminiscent of better days of pure open road driving enjoyment.

115 horsepower. The engine was mounted on a sturdy frame with advanced front suspension incorporating a transverse leaf spring. With elegant custom coachwork from some of Europe’s finest shops, it was a marvelous and stout grand tourer, capable of carrying passengers and their luggage at speeds pushing 100 mph.

One of those custom coachwork firms of the era was Henri

he Delage D8-120 was the company’s first new model produced after overcoming financial difficulties, which had led to a collaboration with its longtime rival, Delahaye, under the leadership of Walter Watney. This model featured an inline eight-cylinder engine, similar to Delahaye’s competition-oriented six-cylinder powerplant but with two additional cylinders, producing about

Chapron, one of France’s most prolific coachbuilders.

Chapron’s signature style was usually at the forefront of fashion, marked by a degree of maturity and restraint that set it apart from even the most flamboyant designs of the time. When envisioning a Delage from this era, one typically imagines a Chapron, most often a cabriolet, a body style in which he particularly excelled, such as this 1937 Delage D8-120 Cabriolet.

According to Chapron archives, chassis 51624 and body 5254 were delivered on September 7th, 1937, which was just prior to the Paris Salon de l’Automobile held at the Grand Palais in October.

Further research by the late Delage authority, Francois Jolly, indicates this example may have been delivered new to a prominent French actress of the era, which falls into place considering the prestige of this automobile. Following WWII, this D8-120 was across the Channel, as it was reportedly in British ownership, according to notes by Delage Registrar, Peter Jacobs, of a G. Maude of Cheshire, who then advertised it in the April 1957 issue of Motor Sport.

Later known British owners included J.W. Heaney Jr. Research further indicates that this example was imported to the United States and owned by Robert Muelke, an industrial designer and promoter of early custom automobiles on the East Coast. Mr. Muelke is a well-known connoisseur of the marque, famed for his long-term ownership of the special D8-120 S Pourtout Aero coupe that won Best of Show at the 2005 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

This example was sold to Mark Gibbons of Cambridge, Massachusetts, where it was displayed among an impressive collection, which entailed a Pourtout-bodied Talbot-Lago T-150 C SS, a RollsRoyce Phantom II Henley Roadster, and a Bugatti

Type 57C. The next owner would be Louis Vuitton dynasty heir, Herve Ogliastro, who returned this Delage back to Europe. Under his stewardship, he would commission a restoration by renowned French firm, Carrosserie Lecoq. As part of the restoration by the worldwide Concours d’Elegance award-winning firm, the car was finished in its present livery; the body’s wooden frame was extensively redone, and the sheet metal appears to have been wellpreserved. Much of the chrome trim was redone but certain original touches remain intact, with Chapron body number “52” still visible on the underside of one of the windshield pillar caps. Following the restoration, this example was exhibited at the 1992 Louis Vuitton Classic at Bagatelle, and won the Prix special du Jury award. Most recently, this Delage has enjoyed the comforts and care of a private California collection. Today, 51624 presents in stunning condition in its elegant livery of Sage Green over a lush ivory interior. Since the car has been cherished and maintained in significant collections, the fit and finish are outstanding and the brightwork is in fine order. The original numbers-matching inline eight-cylinder engine is mated to a four-speed Cotal pre-select gearbox.

Beautifully presented inside and out, perhaps Peter Ustinov’s famous quote best describes this D8-120, “A gentleman drives an Alfa Romeo, is driven in a Rolls-Royce, but gives only a Delage to his favorite mistress.” Cared for in collections around the globe, this Delage is an automobile that every enthusiast of pre-war cars should experience at least once.

This is an exceptionally attractive Delage and an integral piece for any collection exhibiting the finest French coachwork.

olls-Royce began to build automobiles in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1921. The location was chosen for its proximity to major Northeastern markets and important suppliers as well as the supply of skilled craftsmen trained in the armories of the Connecticut River Valley and the New England machine tool industry. The first 40/50-HP Silver Ghosts were shipped from England and assembled in Springfield, under the direction of a

cadre of some 50 experienced Rolls-Royce hands who emigrated from Derby. Specifications slowly began to evolve, first substituting locally sourced components for those from English suppliers and later effecting specific modifications to better adapt American-built Rolls-Royce automobiles to the North American market.

By 1929, further refinements included an aluminum cylinder head, chrome-plated exterior brightwork, flat-bar bumpers, servo-assisted

four-wheel drum brakes, thermostatically controlled radiator shutters and conical headlamp housings.

Highly evolved to adapt to the road conditions and driving preferences of North American customers, with ample parts and service support from both Rolls-Royce representatives and its network of U.S.based suppliers, it is no surprise that in this booming year Rolls-Royce sold some 350 automobiles.

This handsome Rolls-Royce Phantom, according to John Webb De Campi’s book ‘Rolls-Royce in America’ was delivered new to Mrs. J.W. Crew of Garden City, New York, on September 13, 1929, with Close Coupled Sedan coachwork by Kenilworth.

While in the noted collection of Rich Atwell Sr. the car was fitted with a dashing phaeton body beautifully crafted by Jon Abrahamson. Mr. Atwell had acquired many parts from a previous collector and set about making good use of those factory original parts by commissioning Jon Abrahamson of Enfield Auto Restorations in Connecticut to masterfully craft a new body for chassis S205KR. The body selected was perhaps the loveliest of all of Brewster’s creations, the Ascot Dual Cowl Phaeton. At the time of his ownership, the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance had begun their new coachwork class with this example being an ideal candidate. It would next find its way into the Gordon Granger collection and subsequently be displayed in a museum for many years. That museum is today the 200,000-square-foot world class auction facility of Worldwide Auctioneers in Auburn, Indiana. Several years ago it was acquired from Mr. Granger's estate where it would remain in Texas in the care of current ownership.

The catalogued bodies fitted to the Americanbuilt “Springfield” Rolls-Royce Phantom I chassis

were noted for lines more gracious, elegant, and, yes, more sporting than their British counterparts.

Few were more attractive than the Ascot, an open model with refined styling, including artfully flowing fenders, a nearly horizontal concave polished accent along the beltline, and a raked one-piece windshield, which was favored by socialites and film stars on both coasts. Historian John Webb de Campi’s ‘Rolls-Royce in America’ also records production of 28 Ascot Tourer bodies, largely by Brewster and all originally mounted to Phantom I chassis. Many of these were employed as “trials cars,” to be driven by prospective buyers, as they were considered to show the full potential of what an American Rolls-Royce could be.

The high caliber of its coachwork and restoration, while completed some time ago, and the attentive care it has received remains apparent today.

Nonetheless, the interior upholstery does display a small amount of age-appropriate patina that adds to the old-world charm this Rolls-Royce exudes today.

Presented in two shades of striking soft brown with a tan leather upholstery cloth top, its subtle design is complemented by the concave beltline indicative of the Ascot style, which in this case consists of the brightly polished underlying aluminum of the coachwork. Chrome wire wheels are mounted with blackwall tires, including the dual side-mounted tires and a tan cloth-covered luggage trunk that is fitted as well. Well-preserved, it is a particularly elegant design of a beautifully engineered motor car that is a delight to see and a pleasure to drive. The Ascot is recognized as one of Brewster’s finest designs for the Springfield Phantom and this Phantom I, S205KR should be counted as the finest tribute of its kind.

Emphasizing the newness of the bodies were new model names. The One-Fifty (150) and Two-Ten (210) series were replaced

hevrolet embarked on a major redesign for 1958. Starting with an all-new “Safety Girder” chassis, a cruciform-type backbone without side rails, the evolution included lower, wider, and longer bodies. The wheelbase grew two inches to 117.5, and styling adopted a sculptured theme, with cove-like rear fenders wrapping around into the rear fascia where the taillights were ensconced.

sheet metal with three taillights per side and special trim with simulated side air scoops. The Impala name was subsequently used to signify a top-of-the-range luxury trim level rather than a separate and distinct body style. Marketed as “All New, All Over Again”, Chevrolets were altogether more modern in appearance every year during this period, growing longer, lower, and wider than the year before. The 1958 Impala Sport Convertible was Chevy's prestige car that year with approximately 55,000 sold and its own over-the-top trim package.

This beautiful convertible has benefited from a high quality restoration done some years ago and it remains in beautiful condition. The grille and quad headlamp layout took on an almost mini-Cadillac-like flair, and the six-taillight arrangement would later become a hallmark of Impala styling. The 1958 body style would last only one model season.

The Impala was offered with a mind-boggling array of engine, transmission, and trim options from a meager straight-six to a rip-roaring big block. This Impala has been treated to a frame-off restoration with great attention to detail and has many desirable and rare options, including a new-for-1958, 348-cubic-inch big block engine fitted with a four-barrel carburetor paired with Chevrolet’s rugged Powerglide automatic transmission and dual exhaust. Finished beautifully in Aegean Aqua with a white power activated convertible top, notable exterior options including fender skirts, decorative chrome exhaust ports on the lower

quarter panels, angled dual rear antennas, right and left exterior chrome mirrors, door handle scuff shields, deluxe spinner wheel covers and wide whitewall radial tires. This Impala’s interior features a dazzling aqua, gray, and black tri-colored interior done in cloth and vinyl materials. This includes a split front bench seat, tinted glass, an AM pushbutton radio with rear speaker, in-dash clock, blue carpeting with matching carpeted floor mats, rare accessory vacuum ashtray, unique dash-mounted “traffic light viewer”, chrome Chevrolet tissue dispenser, metallic dash facings and Impala model identification. Additionally, this car is equipped with a highly desirable optional factory air-conditioning system.

Other optional amenities are power steering, power brakes and two-speed wipers with windshield washers. Under the hood is detailed and authentic in appearance, with correct air cleaner, four-barrel carburetor, generator, points ignition system as well as rare and correct air-conditioning compressor and brackets, Harrison radiator and proper fan shroud.

The overall beauty of this Impala is seen throughout in every detail. This is a highly optioned, professionaly restored, first-year big block convertible that significantly enhanced the legacy of Chevrolet performance. If you have been searching for an iconic '50s convertible, here is one with a great color scheme, powerful and reliable drivetrain and an unmistakable eye-catching presence.

standard comfort and convenience features. This model also marked the first Ferrari to be equipped with standard ZF power steering and power-assisted brakes, furthering its road manners.

The 4.4-litre Tipo 245 V-12 engine featured a single overhead camshaft per cylinder bank with induction via triple dual-choke

rguably the most luxurious and best equipped Ferrari road model to date, the 365 GT 2+2 debuted at the 1967 Paris Salon as the successor to the 330 GT 2+2 and represented Ferrari’s commitment to advancing the Grand Touring concept with roomy accommodations for up to four and a comprehensive suite of

Weber carburetors. Ignition was a Marelli-Dinoplex system with twin coils and transistorized distributors.

Rated at 320 HP at 6,600 revolutions, this engine allowed sprints from rest to top speeds in a rather short time, making the 365 GT 2+2 an ideal Grand Touring car.

By the time production ended in 1971, Ferrari had built just 801 examples of the 365 GT 2+2. While small in number, it was a great commercial success, accounting for about half of total Ferrari production during its brief three-year run. For a time, it was the only Ferrari model available for sale in the crucial U.S. market due to the increasingly stringent emissions regulations in effect from 1968. In addition, the 365 GT 2+2 was the last luxury-oriented, 12-cylinder model offered by Ferrari until the 1992 debut of the 456 GT. Bearing Chassis Number 12451, this Ferrari is accompanied by a Ferrari Heritage Certificate and documented history compiled by Marcel Massini. An original U.S. delivery example, it was factory finished in the rare color of Giallo Fly Italver, or Fly Yellow over black leather upholstery, the striking colors it continues to wear today. In addition to its odometer calibrated in miles, 12451 was further equipped with Borrani wire-spoke wheels and a very rare optional sunroof. In February 1969, the chassis was sent to Torino and Carrozzeria Pininfarina, where its sleek body was fitted, and the final assembly date is recorded as April 23, 1969.

While not appearing as an original option recorded on the internal Ferrari factory documents for 12451, it is equipped with a rare sunroof. It is believed that Ferrari sent this car out for fitment of the sunroof at the request of Bill Harrah’s Modern

Classic Motors prior to shipment of the vehicle to the U.S. Given the time difference from final assembly in April 1969 until delivery that summer, it is universally agreed the sunroof was most likely installed during that time period.

Later in 1970, the Ferrari was sold to its first registered owner, a resident of California. The vehicle would then remain in California for some 35 years. In 1998, Bernard B. Fahimian of Los Angeles acquired the car and continued the excellent care and maintenance. He commissioned a complete refinish in Fly Yellow and comprehensive mechanical work including replacement of the clutch, rear shock absorbers, load levelers, and exhaust system.

From October 2001 through May 2002, 12451 was entrusted to the Ferrari marque experts at Redondo Beach, California’s Tillack & Co. for extensive cosmetic and mechanical work. There, the interior was restored, including the carpeting, headliner, and seats, and the cooling and electrical systems were reviewed and sorted as required. The Borrani wire wheels were restored, new door seals were fitted, the doors were aligned to the body, and many other detail items were addressed. Additional work performed by other experts included a cylinder head overhaul, ignition work, and carburetor tuning.

In February 2005, James C. Walker of Ann Arbor, Michigan purchased 12451 at approximately 56,000 miles. A major overhaul of the matching-numbers Tipo 245 V-12 engine was completed in 2005 and 2006 by noted Ferrari specialist Terry Myr of Smith’s Creek, Michigan, who also maintained the car for Mr. Walker and performed further detail-oriented work during his tenure. The front suspension was also rebuilt during 2005. Throughout his ownership,

Mr. Walker provided proper and thorough care of 12451, with particular emphasis on the car being ready for touring enjoyment, as originally intended.

Mr. Walker and his wife Molly enthusiastically showed and toured 12451 at Ferrari Owners Club events, Ann Arbor’s Rolling Sculpture Car Show, and other functions. Ferrari Club of America event history for the Walkers and 12451 began with the 2005 International Meet in Indianapolis. On August 29, 2007, the Walkers drove 12451 to Corning, New York, to attend the 44th Annual Ferrari Club of America (FCA) International Meet at Watkins Glen, where the car earned Premio d’Oro (Gold Award) honors.

In May 2008, the Walkers and 12451 participated in the Points and Condenser Preservation Society Run at the Michigan International Speedway and that July, the couple traveled with the car to attend the FCA International Meet hosted in Toronto, Canada, by the FCA East and Central Canada Region. At the 2009 edition of “Eyes on Design” event held at the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan, 12451 received the Design of Distinction

Red Ribbon Award.

The current collector/owner acquired this car from Worldwide Auctioneers in 2014. 12451 is the recipient of a recent servicing resulting in the mechanical prowess one would expect from a flagship touring automobile. As offered, it remains highly attractive, clearly benefiting from the attentive care it has received over its lifetime from all its astute owners. It is accompanied by the original owner’s manual and an extensive document binder including a wealth of receipts, records, photographs, and correspondence, a Massini Report, plus a Ferrari Heritage Certificate (numbered 0001361) confirming chassis and engine numbers, date of manufacture, and original colors.

Mechanically excellent, handsomely presented, and thoroughly documented, this Ex-Bill Harrah factory sunroof-equipped 365 GT 2+2 is very wellsuited for continued enjoyment and spirited driving in the classic Ferrari Grand Touring tradition on important tours, concours show fields, and FCA events around the globe.

successes and crushing defeats. Having powered Indianapolis champions and some of the era’s fastest aircraft and racing speedboats, Miller and the many designs that sprang from his

ithout doubt America’s most successful and creative racing engineer and constructor of the pre-WWII era, Harry A. Miller’s life story is one of triumph and tragedy, filled with brilliant

fertile mind continue to fascinate collectors, historians, and racing fans today.

His creations also inspired some of his most revered contemporaries in Europe, including Ettore and Jean Bugatti. Following the sale of his business just before the 1929 Stock Market Crash, Miller was bankrupt by 1933 yet still in demand for his proven engineering prowess. Despite tight economic times and the stunning failure of the radical Miller-Ford V-8 cars at the 1935 Indianapolis 500, Miller continued his work despite worsening health, working on a short-lived project for an innovative sports car with renowned stylist, Tom Hibbard. When other men might have been defeated, Miller was approached with an exciting project in early 1937 by long-time racing driver Ira Vail – Miller’s first client for an eight-cylinder racing engine. Feeling the time was right to challenge the proven, but obsolescent pre-WWI technology that dominated America’s dirt tracks and the Indianapolis Speedway, Vail commissioned Miller to design and construct two new four-cylinder racing cars, giving the renowned engineer the freedom to break new ground in every respect. Design and construction began in earnest and revitalized Miller, who based the new racer’s lightweight DOHC four-cylinder engine on plans dating to 1933 for a proposed aircraft engine design, itself loosely based on Miller’s 255 cubic-inch racing-engine architecture.

Cast-in fins on both the block and cylinders enhanced cooling and added an unintended beauty to the powerplant. The chassis, constructed of beefy, deep members, was cadmium-plated and featured advanced independent suspension. Brakes were a Miller first – disc-type, with a design reminiscent of clutch plates, one already used on military aircraft. An intricate cooling manifold

ahead of the engine and exposed tubular radiator elements were inspired

by Schneider Cup racing seaplanes of the earlier 1930s and gave the cars a decidedly Art Deco look. Sleekly streamlined, speedster-type bodies included faired-in suspension components and utilized the latest aerodynamic concepts.

Soon after Miller began construction of these cars, Gulf Oil purchased and took over the project, retaining Miller and providing him with even more resources, including a virtually open checkbook and state-of-the-art facilities under the newly established Gulf Research Development Co. in Harmarville, a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania suburb. For its part, Gulf was eager to promote its lubricants and ‘No-Nox’ 80-octane pump gas with Miller’s cars in competition.

Despite the large investment and Miller’s involvement, the cars were completed but during testing at the Langhorne dirt track, proved disappointing with severe cooling problems that went unresolved, even with a switch to more normal radiators mounted at each side of the cars. A qualifying attempt at Indianapolis in 1938 was made and, in 1939, the nose cone was reconfigured to a more normal look with a radiator in the usual position behind it – the style it retains today.

The two four-cylinder cars were disposed of by Gulf and sold to Preston Tucker, never to race again. Even more radical mid-engine, six-cylinder cars followed and marked the last major project of Miller’s lifetime before his eventual passing in 1943. Despite initial promises, heavy investment, and fascinating technical development that could easily fill several volumes, Gulf finally pulled the plug on the Miller program in 1940. The Miller-Gulf racing car offered

here is a wonderful touchstone to Harry Miller’s virtually unstoppable genius and one of his last major engineering projects. Bearing Chassis No. 001 and retaining the original engine, it is one of the two four-cylinder race cars commissioned by Ira Vail from Miller and subsequently completed and tested under Gulf Oil. Closely followed by members of the Miller community, this Miller-Gulf is considered one of the most original Miller creations anywhere in the world today and it is irreplaceable, with Harry Miller having personally touched every one of its components, including the original sheet metal bodywork.

Provenance is outstanding and well-known, with both Miller-Gulf four-cylinder cars purchased from Gulf by Preston Tucker, who separated the engines from each car and is believed to have intended to use them for an aircraft program he once envisioned for the U.S. Army Air Corps.

The next known owner of both Miller-Gulf fourcylinder engines was Donald Lockwood, who retrieved them both from the Strufy’s wrecking yard in Gary, Indiana during the 1950s and retained them for the next several decades. After Tucker, known owners of this car were Terry Buthim of the Pacific Northwest, noted collector Robert “Buck” Boudeman of Kalamazoo, Michigan, by the 1990s, and finally our consignor in 2008. The engines were

acquired from Donald Lockwood and the original engine was subsequently reunited with this car by the consignor who sympathetically assembled it.

The engine was rebuilt and then started and briefly run on a dynamometer. The body was kept in its final configuration, repainted white, and numbered ‘16’ by our consignor.

The integrity of this one-of-two Miller-Gulf race cars is simply exceptional. Development and construction of it and its sister car are extremely well-documented in Mark L. Dees’ authoritative book, “The Miller Dynasty,” including extensive period photographs of the car’s iterations. The car is also documented in numerous other books by respected Miller experts and well-known for its amazing authenticity and legitimacy among members of today’s tightly knit community of Miller collectors, enthusiasts, and historians. One of the most attractive and technically sophisticated openwheel racing cars of the pre-war era, this one-of-two 1937 Miller-Gulf race cars is extremely significant and simply irreplaceable as one of the last to emanate from the fertile mind and gifted hands of Harry Miller and his team. Miller-Gulf No. 001 holds its place amongst the very best and most important cars of its era and represents an unmatched part of racing history in America.

significant setbacks. Known for powering Indianapolis champions and some of the era’s fastest aircraft and racing speedboats, Miller’s designs continue to captivate collectors, historians, and

merica’s most innovative and successful pre-WWII racing engineer and constructor, Harry A. Miller, had a life story full of highs and lows, marked by both brilliant achievements and

racing enthusiasts. His work also influenced esteemed contemporaries in Europe, such as Ettore and Jean Bugatti.

After selling his business just before the 1929 Stock Market Crash, Miller was bankrupt by 1933 but remained sought after for his engineering expertise.

Despite the challenging economic climate and the notable failure of the radical Miller-Ford V-8 cars at the 1935 Indianapolis 500, Miller persevered.

In early 1937, when many might have given up, long-time racing driver Ira Vail, Miller’s first client for an eight-cylinder racing engine, approached him with an exciting new project.

No. 002 would eventually be purchased by the consignor’s father, who would pass it onto to him some 20 years ago. The engines were acquired from Donald Lockwood after his passing and both original engines were subsequently reunited with their cars. Differing from Miller-Gulf No. 001, this example, No. 002, was restored back to its original 1937 appearance, which entails the unique and singular tubular cooling system and side-mounted gas tanks, evident from the array of period photos that accompany the car. The chrome-plated copper tubing had too little surface area to eliminate the engine’s heat, resulting in the engine overheating when trying to run at the Indy 500. For this reason, during the restoration process an effective cooling system was concealed in one the side gas tanks, so that this Miller-Gulf could be driven onto show fields and for exhibition. The engine, which fires right up, is started by a Coffman “shotgun” starter that uses a black 4-gauge shotgun-type cartridge to turn the engine. These starters were widely used in aircraft,

armored vehicles, and tractors during the period. A demonstration of the engine starting and this Miller in action can be found on our YouTube channel.

Under the current owner’s care, this example was exhibited at the 2021 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in the Miller featured class and was most recently shown at the 2023 Amelia Concours.

where it is now regarded as one of the coolest choppers ever made. Today, you have the chance to buy one of the real movie choppers - in this case, the actual bike used during the crash scene which has been faithfully and completely rebuilt and refreshed. No doubt you have seen the many reproductions and copies of this

asy Rider’ is commonly regarded as the most iconic motorcycle movie of all time, for many reasons. Aside from its starspangled cast featuring Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Jack Nicholson, the appearance of a gorgeous ‘Captain America’ bike captured the attention of enthusiasts nationwide, to the point

bike, but make no mistake, the chance to buy the actual movie bike makes this an incredibly unique opportunity. Starting with the 45-degree Panhead engine is a 74-cubic-inch power plant that pushes 52 horsepower through a four-speed manual gearbox.

It retains its original Panhead engine, while most everything else was stripped, bent, or extended for the custom chopper look. That meant that most creature comforts like the turn signals, front brake, seat springs, front fender, and a horn found their way to the trash bin. This custom bike is mileage exempt, with no odometer.

As is common in movies, everyone assumed that several ‘Captain America’ bikes made it into the film, as having mechanical problems could seriously impact filming with just a single example available.

Designed and built by Cliff Vaughs, Larry Marcus, and Ben Hardy, two former police Harley-Davidson motorcycles were purchased at auction for $500 and rebuilt into two Captain America Bikes. It is reported that fellow actor Dan Haggerty was given the pieces of the wrecked Captain America, from the famous crash scene at the end of the movie, by Tex Hall after the wrapping of the film. In 1994, Dan Haggerty was introduced to the highly respected collector of celebrity vehicles, Gary Graham. Graham

met Haggerty at his Los Angeles home where Dan showed Gary the motorcycle still in parts. Together, they rebuilt the Captain America bike with the intention of touring it across America. In 1996, Gary Graham liquidated many of the motorcycles from his collection including the Captain American motorcycle and two used by Ann Margret. Dan Haggerty accompanied Gary Graham to the auction sale in order to authenticate the bike. In front of a crowd of some two thousand people, Haggerty gave a speech both authenticating and verifying the history of the Captain America motorcycle.

Documentation includes signed affidavits from both previous owners Dan Haggerty and Gary Graham.

It was sold to Gordon Granger of Austin, Texas, for a record price at the time. It would later find its way to the highly respected Lone Star Estate Collection.

The springer front end, 14-inch-high handlebars, custom American flag tank and custom extended seat literally became icons of the custom market, showcasing the hippie movement and giving America a peek into the lives of those that wander the highways of America. A wonderful opportunity to own a piece of pop-culture Americana - an actual Peter Fonda ridden chopper that presents an entire movement and culture that lives on.

The 14th produced and even more scarce today, few of these examples are known to survive, and this LeBaron-bodied example is arguably the finest of them all. Known history for this affluent Model K starts when it was shipped on January 31st, 1936, and purchased new by popular risqué fan dancer Sally Rand. Known around the Hollywood

n 1931, Lincoln pulled out all the stops when they introduced the K Series as the new flagship of the company’s fleet. Wheelbases were long, body lines were smooth and sculpted, and, as if that weren’t enough, a powerful V-12 engine made the K Series a favorite of the elite. Offered until 1940, the finest of all the models would be offered in its last four model years, 1937 to 1940, which many will agree is the apex of all Lincoln styling. Offering more than 15 different body styles and a host of coachbuilders to choose from

scene, Miss Rand and this Convertible Roadster fit in perfectly. In 1972, known collector Hilyard Barr would acquire this Model K in Los Angeles in its original, rust-free, unrestored condition, and it would remain with him for 50 years. All there, but in need of a complete restoration, Mr. Barr would task the Murray Motor Car Company to complete a 100-point restoration. Every minute detail was addressed, resulting in a stunning outcome. Ensuring it was ready to be driven on the show field, or touring duties if needed, the impressive 6.8-liter L-head V-12 engine and three-speed manual transmission were both fully addressed. This stunning Model K went on a winning spree starting in 2021 when it earned its CCCA National Senior Award (#3052) and its AACA National First Prize (#37103), as well as an AACA National Special Award. In 2022, this example scored 100 points and a class award, 100 Years of Lincoln Class, at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. The following year at the 2023 Arizona Concours it earned 100 points and a First in Class.

Most recently, in April of this year, this Model K scored another 100 points and garnered Second in Class to the Best of Show winner, The William Lyon Family’s 1934 Packard Twelve Speedster by LeBaron, at the La Jolla Concours d’Elegance. This Lincoln also picked up its CCCA Premier badge that previous month. Accompanying the sale of this mighty V-12 are factory records and a copy of its original build sheet, provided by The Henry Ford archives, as well as photos of this example on the lush greens of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

The 1937 Lincoln Model K V-12 Coupe by LeBaron was and still is a symbol of luxury and sophistication, catering to a wealthy clientele who sought exclusivity and elegance in their automobiles.

As 1 of just 20 originally built, this proven award winning and elegant Model K V-12 Convertible Roadster by LeBaron presents its next owner with the rare opportunity to acquire a custom coachbuilt Full Classic® that will continue to grant access to important concours and events around the world.

T

plug was pulled on the Continental brand.

In 1958, Continental returned to the Lincoln umbrella and became known as the Mark III. The Mark III was a large, four-door luxury sedan or two-door convertible, built on the regular Lincoln line to keep costs in check. Styling was ornate, some might say heavy-handed, and a far cry from the elegant minimalist lines of past designs. For 1961, the Continental was redesigned again

he Continental model became a mainstay at Lincoln with the original run lasting from 1939 to 1948. It disappeared from the lineup, only to make a grand return in 1956 as a standalone brand – placed at the pinnacle of the American market. The Continental Mark II was hand-built, featured revolutionary styling, and was priced at approximately $10,000, about the same as a comparable Rolls-Royce. Sales were slow and after only two model years, the

and the “Mark” series moniker was dropped – it was now simply known as the Lincoln Continental. Styled by Elwood Engel, the new car was a drastic departure from the Mark III. It was originally intended as a design proposal for the new Thunderbird but was wisely chosen by Bob McNamara to go to Lincoln and the design was tweaked to suit the brand’s image. Gone was the frenetic style and excessive detail, and in its place was an elegant, low, slab-sided sedan or four-door convertible complete with rear “suicide” hinged doors.

Though still a fairly large car, the new Continental was a full 14-inches shorter than the outgoing car, and it carried its bulk much better than before. Crisp and elegant, the Continental became an icon of 1960s style and enjoyed a successful run from 1961 through 1969, with over 360,000 units sold in total.

The unique four-door convertible body style was discontinued after the 1967 model year. In 1962, only 3,212 Continental convertibles were produced and less than half of those had air-conditioning.

This elegant 1962 Lincoln Continental has the historical distinction of carrying President John F. Kennedy during his trip in a parade celebrating the ‘Niagara Frontier’ in 1962. The White House presented a brass plaque to the car’s owner in 1962 to commemorate the occasion, which was proudly mounted in the car where President Kennedy sat and is still mounted in the car today.

Documentation includes photographs of President Kennedy sitting in this car

and the aforementioned plaque. The car’s original owner can be seen in the photograph. The car’s second owner was actually the person who took the photograph, who then purchased the car from the original owner decades later and eventually sold it to the present owner.

A restoration commenced on this significant Lincoln about seven years ago and the owner states it has never had any rust or rust repairs and the 430-cubic-inch engine and automatic transmission were rebuilt about two and half years ago. During the restoration, all the electrical relays were rebuilt as well. In 2023, a new red leather interior and a new black convertible top were fitted. The result of all this careful restoration is a car that not only looks beautiful but drives exceptionally well. Everything works as it should on this Lincoln, including the power top, cold air-conditioning, power accessories and original radio with power antenna. No detail was overlooked, including the original undercoating applied at the dealership which was present on most Lincolns of this era. In 2024, a freshening of the paint transpired, and four new classic Bias Ply tires were fitted.

Handsomely finished in Ermine White with red leather, this gorgeous and historically significant 1962 Lincoln Continental Convertible would be a stellar addition to any stable and is ready to be driven with confidence.

P

out a merger with a manufacturer of more mainstream automobiles, teaming up with Studebaker of South Bend, Indiana. At the start, this marriage added a bit of a boost to sales, seeing over 10,000 PierceArrow eight-cylinder cars produced for the 1929 season. After the Wall Street Crash in October of that same year, the honeymoon was over as sales of luxury cars took a sharp downward curve. Undaunted Pierce-Arrow, which was operating as a separate entity, continued to engineer and develop better products. Their engineering genius, Karl Wise, had designed and produced the Pierce-Arrow V-12 bringing it

ierce-Arrow was the pride of Buffalo, New York, during the 1920s, producing only the finest in luxury transportation. It was a sign of distinction to own a Pierce-Arrow, and when one was leaving the race track or the polo grounds, owners could spot these handsome vehicles immediately, recognizable by their uniquely placed headlights flared into the fender. This was one of Pierce-Arrow’s most exclusive features, one that they fervently guarded the patent rights to. However, by the late 1920s, the leader of Pierce-Arrow, Myron Forbes, felt that independent car markers were going to be disappearing, and sought

to market in November 1931. However, the worldwide economic picture remained bleak and sales for highpriced luxury cars were far and few between. Adding to its woes, in 1933, Studebaker went into receivership and Pierce-Arrow was jettisoned from the South Bend partnership and purchased by a group of Buffalo-based bankers. Maintaining their innovative nature, for the Chicago World’s Fair, five beautifully crafted sleek and trendsetting Silver Arrow sedans were created that caused quite a stir. These five cars were able to find buyers after the fair at a cost of over $10,000 each.

The enthusiasm and hopes for prosperity being just around the corner led Pierce-Arrow to adopt several styling touches for a new line of top-priced Silver Arrow production cars. Available with both eight-cylinder and V-12 engines, they were mighty machines that took only a few styling cues from those streamlined World’s Fair cars. Despite top-quality products, sales continued to falter, and the company continued to bleed money. By 1937, Pierce-Arrow production would come to an end.

Following the current owner’s acquisition, this magnificent Model 1240A Silver Arrow coupe received a high-quality repaint by LaVine Restorations in Nappanee, Indiana, due to the owner’s desire for a color change. It is now resplendent in black with dark gray sail panels which are accented with fine red pinstriping.

Powered by its original 175-HP, 462-cubic-inch V-12 engine fitted with a pair of Stromberg carburetors, it is a strong running and reliable classic today. Among the many features that power this car is the “Startix” automatic starting system, Stewart-Warner servoassisted mechanical drum brakes and its original three-speed transmission which has synchronized second and third gears. Of note, the Startix system was serviced and repaired in January 2020. Maintenance is said to have been addressed in-house during the

car’s time in the current owner’s collection. Sitting on a 144-inch wheelbase, this car represented the height of conspicuous consumption during a time when many Americans were barely able to feed their families, let alone buy a new car. According to the consignor, this exquisite Silver Arrow was restored to its present condition in the early 2000s and has been meticulously maintained and kept ready for the road at a moment’s notice. Seats have been upholstered in an attractive gray and white pattern fabric and features extensive amounts of pristine woodwork on the dashboard and door garnish trim panels. This Pierce-Arrow also features dual enclosed side-mount spare tires fitted with rearview mirrors, a pair of Trippe “Senior” driving lights and the famous Archer radiator mascot. It was awarded a National Senior First Prize Award by the CCCA and proudly displays the badge on the right front cowl. At the 2014 Indianapolis Celebration of Automobiles, it was judged first in its class, and was exhibited at The Elegance at Hershey as well as the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan. The sturdy steel wheels, also painted black, are fitted with a set of B. F. Goodrich Silvertown 7.50” x 17” whitewall tires. During a recent test drive, this handsome classic was taken into traffic where it was able to easily reach cruising speeds registering over 60 miles per hour on the 100-mph speedometer. Located on the extreme right side of the dashboard are the controls for a vintage radio which is concealed under the dash near the driver with the speaker located in the roof just to the center of the windshield.

The Silver Arrow could be considered a monument and a symbol of the streamlined age at its finest.

Treasured by its current caretaker, it is now offered with considerable pride as what it has always been, first and foremost, a statement of elegance and style.

• Correct, numbers-matching 289 ‘Hi-Po’ solid-lifter V-8 engine • Verified and listed in the SAAC Shelby Registry

• Documented by sales copies from Shelby American, Inc. to the original dealer • 1 of only 562 examples produced • A true race-bred car for the streets

with the Chevrolet Corvette at the race track. To do so, Ford would first have to convince the Sports Car Club of America that the Mustang was not a 2+2 design and thus not a true sports car.

To help with the “Total Performance” campaign, Ford turned to none other than Carroll Shelby, using his famous Texan charm, Shelby had a meeting with the SCCA's Executive Director, John Bishop, and asked him

riginally conceived as a fun, sporty car for the masses when introduced midyear in 1964, the Mustang was lacking in performance and used the existing Falcon platform and borrowed common components already in production to keep the costs down. When the first muscle cars began arriving on the scene, Ford wanted to create a package that would transform the Mustang into a proper sports car capable of competing

what it would take to make the Mustang a production "sports car". The result was the 1965 Shelby GT350 purpose-built to homologate the Ford Mustang for SCCA racing. Starting with a standard production Ford Mustang GT built at the San Jose plant, the Shelby was essentially transformed into a racecar for the street at the Shelby American facility in Venice, California. After numerous performance modifications and subtle styling changes to visually distinguish it from the base Mustang, the GT350 was ready for competition.

The GT350’s 289 'Hi-Po' V-8 received a 35-horsepower boost with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, aluminum high-rise intake manifold, “Tri-Y” exhaust headers, a high-performance cam, and dual exhaust. The front suspension was lowered, and the front structure was beefed up with an “export brace” and “Monte Carlo” bar.

A fatter front stabilizer, rear traction bars, Koni shocks, and Detroit Locker rear-end, plus special front disc and rear drum brakes were major upgrades. The GT350 was visually distinguished from its basic Mustang roots with twin Le Mans stripes from nose to tail, a fiberglass hood with hood scoop and hold-down pins, and exhaust outlets just ahead of the rear wheels. Interior appointments included a woodgrain steering wheel, competition seat belts, a tachometer, and a simple fiberglass shelf in place of the rear seat.

Just 562 of these potent performers were built for the street in 1965 to approve the Shelby GT350 for SCCA racing. This example SFM5S482, was received by Shelby American on June 13, 1965. About a week later, work commenced on transforming the Mustang into a Shelby GT350, and the car was completed on June 28, 1965.

The finished Shelby was then shipped to Jack Loftus Ford, Inc. in Hinsdale, Illinois, on July 30, 1965. According to the Shelby American World Registry and copies of the Shelby American Inc. invoices, SFM5S482 was

originally purchased by L. Williams of Griffith, Indiana, inexplicably over 15 months later, on December 27, 1966. Through the early years, it was owned by several collectors before ending up in the collection of Ronald J. Kaminski in Wexford, Pennsylvania, as documented in the Registry. Kelly Schultz of Follett, Texas, purchased the car around 1998 and commissioned a complete and correct restoration.

The body of the car was found to be very solid with no evidence of prior damage, and the engine was determined to retain the correct, numbers-matching block. The hidden Ford VIN numbers have been verified with SAAC as corresponding to the Shelby number they have on file. Upon completion of the restoration, the car was sold to a private collector who stored the Shelby on blocks inside his building for the next 15 years. Before selling his beloved Shelby, he would commission a complete engine tune-up and transmission rebuild in 2013 that cost right under $8,000. This GT350 would then find the home of a Texas-based collector in 2016 before the current and meticulous caretaker would welcome it into his impressive climate-controlled collection in 2018.

This car presents very well today, no doubt due to its limited usage and careful storage. Very clean and detailed throughout, the owner notes that this Shelby runs and drives well with no issues, and is the perfect candidate to be enjoyed, driven, or shown. Purposebuilt to homologate Ford’s wildly successful Mustang for SCCA racing, Carroll Shelby’s original GT350 conferred an unbeatable high-performance image on the trendsetting "pony car" which it proved on the track.

Built in very limited numbers, listed in the Shelby Registry, and documented by original sales copies, this numbersmatching 289 ‘Hi-Po’ V-8 GT350 is striking throughout, exhilarating to drive, and most of all a must-have for any performance-minded collection.

displacement was enlarged to 473 cubic inches and output increased to 175 horsepower. For 1937, with improved carburetion, the twelve cylinder had reached its pinnacle, making Packard one of the fastest and most respected cars in America. Despite its

n 1932, Packard resurrected their “Twin Six” moniker for their totally new V-12 engine. With a thin wedge of 67 degrees, this was the smoothest Packard engine, or for that matter, most any other American car maker, had ever engineered. For 1935, the

luxury status, Packard could be considered a conservative car for the classic era featuring finely crafted coachwork, elegant appointments, advanced designed chassis along with whisper quiet and vibration-less engine operations, the Twelve set the bar others tried to meet. Among other improvements seen for 1937 was the introduction of the “Safe-T-Flex” independent front suspension that had originally been developed for use on the Junior 120 series, all steel disc wheels which added to the smoothness of the ride, and elimination of the dated Bijur central lubrication system. 1937 also marked the final year that the Twelve was offered on the impressive and imposing 144-inch wheelbase chassis, as in 1938 all Twelves were downsized. Coupled with classic styling, these updates make the '37 Packard one of the most desired cars for classic car touring.

In total, Packard built 109,518 automobiles in 1937, of those just 1,300 were V-12s, and only 41 were Convertible Sedans, such as this stunning example. A rare model with coachwork penned by Raymond Dietrich, this 1937 Packard Twelve 1508 Convertible Sedan hails from a noted Texas Full Classic® collection and benefits from an Eighties top shelf restoration.This Packard presents quite well with signs of age-appropriate mellowing appearing throughout the body.

Proudly affixed to the side of the cowl is its CCCA badge, #1397, which it acquired in 1989, presumably after restoration, showcasing that it has been judged to the

highest standard and gone through the ranks to receive its Premier badging. An automobile of high society, this Packard Twelve is fitted with multiple exterior beauty options which include, Road and Fog Lamp headlights, Packard Twelve wheels with red beauty rings, dual enclosed side-mounted spare tires adorned with side mirrors, and a rear trunk rack. The options continue inside the spacious cabin and surround the plush red upholstery, such as a Packard Deluxe heater, Packard Deluxe radio, banjo steering wheel, and a desirable roll-up division window when privacy is needed between the chauffeur and occupants.

Equipped with a well-sorted and whisper quiet 175-horsepower, 473-cubicinch 12-cylinder engine, Packard performance is on full display, as the '37 Twelve Convertible Sedan is often regarded as the ideal choice for long tours, and CCCA CARavans. This example is a proven tour car with the current owner noting the ample room for multiple guests and luggage and has enjoyed touring this Convertible Sedan across the country.

The most expensive production Packard of the era, this 1508 Convertible Sedan is the definition of a true grand classic. Sporting a lavish color, quality restoration, and many well-appointed accessories, this CCCA Full Classic® will make a delightful addition to CARavan and grand touring events throughout the country with its highly dependable 12-cylinder performance and proven touring abilities.

brothers, Walter and Windsor further enriched the White legacy.

By 1901, their production had reached an impressive 193 units.

A major milestone occurred in 1905 when a White steamer set a world record speed of 73.75 miles per hour at the Morris Park Track, propelling the company into the national spotlight. Quality defined White’s early reputation, evidenced by the presence of a White automobile at President Theodore Roosevelt’s inauguration.

he White Motor Company, founded in Cleveland, Ohio, at the dawn of the 20th century, was a pioneering force in the automotive industry. It all began with Rollin White, the visionary founder who developed a unique steam car concept utilizing an in-house boiler design. Rollin White started his automotive journey with the White Sewing Machine Company, his father’s business, which soon became the cradle of automotive innovation. Rollin’s

President William Taft further acknowledged White’s excellence by adding a White steam car to the original White House automobile fleet in 1909.

The years 1910 and 1911 marked a significant transition for the company. In 1910, White introduced its first gasoline-powered car, and by 1911, the last steam car had rolled out of the factory. White’s product lineup expanded to include four- and six-cylinder internal combustion engines. In 1918, passenger car production was officially halted, ensuring a lasting legacy for the early pioneering White automobiles.

As one of the oldest automobiles offered at the 54th Annual Auburn Auction, this 1913 White Model 40 Seven-Passenger Touring is a rare and desirable example from the Brass Era. In the 1980s, a meticulous and comprehensive restoration was completed, which was documented through photos. The photos include its original state, pre-restoration, and subsequent disassembly process down to the bare chassis. Remarkably complete, the restoration covered all aspects of the vehicle and returned this Brass Era collectable back to the wonderful condition it is seen in today. A lovely maroon color scheme with

contrasting pinstriping on the louvres, body, and wheels, the appearance is very attractive. Under the hood, one will notice stampings that attest to the engine’s assembly using components sourced from various White four-cylinders produced in adjacent model years. A distinctive stamp on the crankcase, “G.E.C. 97,” is indicative of this engine segment originating from a 1915 model.

Most recently, this 100-plus-year-old automobile has enjoyed the ownership of a well-known early American automobile collector. Under his guardianship in 2014, this White received meticulous wet-sanding and polishing to preserve its striking appearance. Along with the sale, this example is accompanied with photos pre- and mid-restoration, as well as copies of period White literature, which is perfect for collection and museum displays. Eligible for Horseless Carriage Club of America events, this 1913 White Model 40 is a fascinating and rare example from the Brass Era that is over 100 years old and would be a welcomed candidate for Brass Era touring, museum exhibition, or simply continued enjoyment on the open roads.

ebuted at the March 1967 Geneva Show, but already in production since December 1966, the Mercedes-Benz 250SL advanced the W113 “Pagoda” series established by the 230SL in 1963. Engine and braking improvements led the major updates. The M129 III SOHC, fuel-injected ‘six’ now displaced 2.5 litres and delivered smoother operation with new seven-main

regulator to reduce rear-wheel over braking. Fuel capacity was increased to 82 litres, extending the car’s already long range. Safety was heightened to match, with the SL’s industry-leading built-in safety features supplemented by improved seat belts and a collapsible steering column.

Period road tests reported top speeds nearing 120 mph, with the quarter mile covered in 16.9 seconds. Handling and braking were excellent to match, with wide (for the era) radial tires enhancing performance. The excellent all-around driving experience of the 250SL was achieved with uncanny poise and the absence of excessive noise levels, rendering this outstanding machine truly a Grand Tourer capable of covering great distances at high speeds while placing few demands upon occupants. Despite its all-around excellence, production of the 250SL was very brief, continuing until early 1968, with 5,196 examples built in all. The vast majority were destined for lucrative export markets with just 1,761 exported new to the United States, making excellent 250SLs highly sought-after by knowledgeable collectors and marque enthusiasts for their purity of design and many welcome refinements.

Benefiting from a 2016-2023 comprehensive restoration totaling over $70,000, this splendid 1967 Mercedes-Benz 250SL Roadster was sold new in Dallas,

Texas. The rarest model of the W113 Pagoda series, it has been cherished by just four documented owners. A large file of records and invoices, including correspondence from Mercedes-Benz Club of America and Pagoda SL group members, and an MB data card document this example and accompany the sale. Finished in 180 G Silver Grey over 116 Caviar MBTex (black) with a Silver Grey hardtop and black soft top, factory options include single seats, automatic transmission, rear jump seat, and desirable power steering. Other items include air-conditioning, Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio, and a set of period-style luggage.

During the restoration, the 2.5-litre overhead-cam inline six was addressed, resulting in fine German engineering coupled with the glamour of 1960s motoring, ideal for both city and freeway conditions. In 2023, this 250SL was exhibited at the Palm Beach Concours and Wheels Across the Pond show. Along with the aforestated Mercedes-Benz data card, records, invoices, and periodstyle luggage is an owner’s manual, tool roll, spare tire assembly, jack, and MB emergency accessories. A fantastic representation of an iconic example from the loved Pagoda Series, this low production 1967 Mercedes-Benz 250SL Roadster portrays originality and thoughtful charm from its limited roster of ownership over the last 57 years and would make a delightful choice as a weekend cruiser.

aircraft inspired gauge layout.

Production for the C2 Corvette continued until 1967, where it would receive two final notable changes, five functional front fender louvers, and the parking brake was relocated to the center console. The 1967 big block model also received the commanding and aggressive “Stinger” hood design. Many enthusiasts believe that the final year offering of the C2 platform was the most refined and best all around version of the design.

Nicely restored in its original configuration, per its original tank sticker and build order, this 1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427/390 Roadster is finished in Marlboro Maroon over a Saddle vinyl interior. Equipped with a numbers-matching 390-horsepower 427-cubic-inch big block V-8, which is mated to a four-speed manual transmission, it is a striking example of General Motors’ beloved sports

car. Other notable features include a Positraction rear end and AM/FM radio.

Taken to an NCRS judged event, this example is the recipient of a prestigious Top Flight award. The consignor notes that after receiving its award, noted changes suggested by the judges were made, allowing this example to score even better at its next outing. During the restoration, which is documented by a collection of photos and invoices, the big block engine was fully rebuilt, the gas and brake systems were gone through, as well as a host of other things.

Verified by an array of important original documents and finished in its original Marlboro Maroon color, this 1967 Corvette 427/390 Roadster is a powerful and well-maintained example that remains poised for vintage rallies, tours, and club events.

Don Yenko and Fred Gibbs, knew that it was possible to build almost anything.

Chevrolet developed the Central Office Production Order system to meet the need for a procedure to build non-standard cars with Regular Production Order parts. It was intended for fleet

hevrolet’s Camaro was literally all things to all people. By checking the right order blanks, one could purchase anything from a “grocery getter” to a tire-shredding SS 396. While GM policy limited engine size for the A-Body and F-Body lines to 400 cubic inches, a few performance-oriented Chevrolet dealers, including

orders: fleets of police cars; fleets of low-powered strippers for meter readers; fleets of taxicabs. It enabled Chevrolet and its dealers to compete effectively for large orders of exceptionally boring vehicles. A few intrepid dealers saw in the COPO system a means to a very different end: to build vehicles more powerful, more purposeful and more specialized than anything Chevrolet could justify offering through the Regular Production Option system.

With the Central Office Production Order (COPO) process usually reserved for fleets, a request could be made for a unique and specially built car. Since the 396 big block was already available, the 427-cid, 425-HP L72 engine would be a drop-in fit for the Camaro. The resulting COPO Camaros quickly reclaimed Chevrolet’s honor in Super Stock drag racing and on the street. Despite limited traction, they were capable of quarter-mile times in the low 13-second range.

With simple tuning and slicks, times dipped into the 11-second range.

COPO - arguably some of the most revered letters for aficionados of the muscle car. COPO 9561, a special high-performance package, was quite the bargain at $489.75 and included the L72 427-cid, 425-HP V-8 engine, special ducted hood, dual exhaust system, increased cooling capacity, heavy-duty suspension and the special 4.10:1 Positraction unit with a heat-treated ring and pinion. The 9561 Camaro actually listed for around $130 less than a

396-cid, 375-HP Camaro SS. The package was specifically engineered for drag race competition.

This particular and rare COPO Camaro is presented in 55-B Azure Turquoise with a special cowl inducted hood and an optional black vinyl top. The deceptive “Plain Jane” look is enhanced with color-coded 14x7 steel wheels fitted with Goodyear Polyglas F70x14 raised white lettered bias-ply tires and small dog-dish hubcaps. The standard black interior features a factory AM radio and an optional console that surrounds the factory horseshoe automatic shifter. Under the hood, everything is correct and highly detailed. The healthysounding, date-code correct L72 427 big block engine features a correct Winters aluminum intake, Holley carburetor, and special air cleaner that sends power back to a 12-bolt rear end fitted with 4.10 gears. This car is also equipped with factory-original F41 heavy duty suspension, a four-core radiator and power front disc brakes and, for a bonus, power steering.

This 1969 COPO Jerry MacNeish Certified Camaro is the recipient of a frame-off nut and bolt restoration done to a very high level. It is listed in the COPO Registry and is believed to be one of the last documented COPOs built. Beautifully restored and fully documented, this is certainly one of the most desirable firstgeneration big-block pavement pounders available for purchase.

been extensively tested in the wind tunnel. The first year, with its curved "waterfall" grille, was the purest expression of the design; the 1935 through 1937 models had a more vertical grille, designed

ntroduced in 1934, the Airflow was sold under both the Chrysler and DeSoto brands until 1937. Its steel, semi-unitized body was years ahead of the competition and a well-kept secret that had

to give them a more conventional appearance. Today, the '34 is especially prized for its resemblance to the famed streamlined train, the Burlington Zephyr. Both the Airflow and the Zephyr were rolling art moderne sensations at the 1934 Chicago World's Fair.

All Airflows were closed models and their interiors were also unlike anything else on the road. Inspired by aircraft of the time, the Airflow's seats featured exposed chromed tubular frames. For the money, buyers of the first DeSotos received a car with a 100-horsepower inline six-cylinder engine and standard features that were either extra-cost options or not even available on other mid-priced cars. Such DeSoto features included Lockheed hydraulic brakes, ignition lock, full instrumentation, brake lamp, steering-hub controls for the headlamps, automatic windshield wiper, an oil filter, and one of the first automobiles to feature overdrive.

Underappreciated in its day, collectors have now begun to recognize the Airflow as a significant high-water mark in American car design and engineering.

Considered by many to be the best-looking DeSoto Airflow is the sleek two-door coupe model, of which fewer than 1,600 were produced in 1934. Today just 15 examples are known to exist and very few have been restored to the level of this car.

An unmistakable and highly desirable streamlined, aerodynamic design from the Art Deco Era, is this stunning 1934 DeSoto Airflow Coupe. The current owner acquired this rare example in September of 2016, from well-known collector and former Airflow Club President, Chuck Cochran of Shelbyville, Indiana. A solid and complete example, it was in need of a restoration, and

knowing the importance and rarity, the current owner set out on a four-year concours level body-off-the-frame restoration. Thoroughly documented in a photo album, Barry Dohrmann of Custom Auto carried out the body and paint, JT Upholstery did the highly desirable optional leather interior, and the chrome plating throughout was completed by JR Custom Plating. Finished in a stunning and correct Cedarbird No. 4 Polychromatic (copper metallic), the streamlined design is truly captivating from all angles.

Once completed, this DeSoto Airflow Coupe set out on an award-winning spree between 2019 and 2023. During which, this Airflow captured a Best of Show and People’s Choice award at the National DeSoto Convention (NDC), Best of Show at the Des Moines Concours d’Elegance, Best of Class at the 10,000 Lakes Concours d’Elegance, 2023 Best of Class at the Eyes on Design at the Ford House, and most recently, in 2023, its AACA Grand National Award.

Accompanying the sale of this seldom seen Art Deco automobile is a copy of its original build card, which was supplied by the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) Historical Services, as well as a photocopy showing where it was originally sold by James F. Waters, Inc. in San Francisco, the world’s largest DeSoto and Plymouth dealer at the time.

An automobile that dared to push the styling cues and boundaries of its era, the Airflow Coupe holds a special place in automotive design and engineering.

As 1 of just 15 known surviving examples of the original 1,600 or so built, this fastidiously kept, award-winning streamlined ’34 DeSoto Airflow Coupe has many more awards to garner and concours show fields to grace in its lifetime.

the elegance and innovation that was rolling out of the Auburn factory. As business savvy as E.L. was, he was equally as good with surrounding himself with best, such as young gun Alan Leamy, who was pinned with designing the entire Auburn line from 1931 to 1934.

ed by business tycoon and visionary E.L. Cord, the Auburn Automobile Company flourished under new leadership when Cord took over as president in 1926. Once failing to turn a profit, many companies quickly found themselves in the rearview mirror as few automakers during the peak of the Classic Era could rival

First introduced in 1928 from the creative mind of Mr. Leamy and placed under the 8 Series nameplate, Leamy’s boattail design would see its apex in 1932, with the introduction of the 12-cylinder engine. Only produced for two years, 1932 and 1933, the 12-160A Boattail Speedster is a seldom seen automobile that rivals the definition of what the Art Deco era stands for. Sculpted to look fast even while sitting still, its performance was equally impressive, flaunting a 160-horsepower Lycoming 12-cylinder engine that smoothly propelled this rolling work of art past the 100 mile-per-hour mark. Paired with a Columbia dual ratio two-speed rear axle, the experience one gets from behind the wheel is unmatched.

One of the finest and most original 12-cylinder Auburn Boattail Speedsters, this gem is offered from a noted collection where it has resided for the last 22 years. Known ownership begins in the 1960s with collector Jim Pullen of Dallas, Texas. A staple in his collection, he would eventually sell this Boattail to well-known collector, and former CCCA President, Chuck Conrad. On the CCCA board at the same time as Chuck and known for his impressive collection of Packards, the current owner had originally sought after a Packard Speedster, but when he came across this Auburn Speedster, he fell in love with it, as he thought it was a sportier option. Trying to convince Chuck to sell it to him for years, he would eventually have his wish granted and take ownership in 2002. After which, it was determined that a long and comprehensive bodyoff-the-frame restoration would unfold. During the restoration, in 2006, when this Speedster was taken to bare metal (making it easier to verify and get to

certain stampings) it was taken to Auburn, Indiana, and certified by the late and former long-time ACD Chief Judge Paul Bryant, with sign-offs also from current Certification Supervisor Jim O’Brien and the late Stan Gilliland. Receiving its ACD Club Category One Certification, A-456, it was noted for retaining its original chassis, body, engine, drivetrain, suspension and running gear.

After visiting some of the top shops around the country, the painstaking concours level restoration would be completed in 2023, following which, it was invited to and exhibited on the 18th green at the 2023 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

From there, this V-12 Speedster went to the annual ACD Club Reunion in Auburn, Indiana, where it captured an ACD Club Senior award. Most recently in July of 2024 it was awarded Best of Show at the noted Keeneland Concours d'Elegance. Serious collectors have recently discovered what some have known all along; that the early speedsters are not only striking in design and appearance, but that they are exceedingly rare with just a few genuine and authentic examples remaining. According to authoritative ACD Club members, it is believed just 25 12-160A examples are known to survive, of which just five have been fully certified as original cars; this is one of those five. Designed and built to the highest standards, this speedster’s combination of quiet, refined performance and elegance sets it apart from all others. A proven show and multiple award winner, its attributes make it one of very few cars that can be proudly displayed in any collection around the world. It is the very definition of art in motion.

Isabel, married William Lewis who joined Mitchell in the building of wagons which, by 1877, was known as the Mitchell and Lewis Company and became the largest wagon manufacturer in the U.S. After Henry Mitchell passed in 1893, Lewis began to look at more modern modes of transportation. In 1901, a Mitchell motorcycle was produced, which many felt was just not up to speed as the

racing the history of Mitchell automobiles goes back long before the age of the Horseless Carriage. Mitchell Wagon Works was founded by Henry Mitchell, a wheelwright by trade who created the first horse-drawn wagons in Chicago. In 1855, he moved his family and business to Racine, Wisconsin, where there was a larger demand for his well-built wagons. His daughter, Mary

average bicyclist passed these 1 ¾-HP bikes like they were standing still. Just as Henry Ford was getting the Ford Motor Company off the ground, Mitchell was preparing for production of their first motor car. Lewis instilled the same high-quality his father-in-law had sought with his wagons and those early single-cylinder cars gained recognition for the Mitchell Motor Car Company.

Year after year, production grew as new and improved models came in quick succession and, by 1910, production was up to 6,000 cars for the year.

1910 also saw the introduction of its first six-cylinder models. It was a big car and powerful, rated at 50 horsepower, but with limited acceptance due to its high price. Knowing that the prestige of owning a six-cylinder was important, Mitchell went to work on developing a lighter, more economical six, which came to market in 1912 with the 5-6 and 2-6. Offered in two body styles, a five-passenger touring car or a sporty two-passenger roadster, these cars were an instant success. With a base cost of $1,750, they were $500 less than the earlier big six. Gifted with great engineering, it was built with top-quality materials and advertising of the day promoted the “Baby Six” as being “silent as the foot of time.” Mitchell’s sales department was quick to tell customers, “You have almost begged for a six-cylinder car of reasonable size and unquestioned power whose price would leave your bank account above water. Now you’ve got it in the Mitchell 'Baby Six'”! Set on a chassis with a 125-inch wheelbase, and known as the Model 5-6, which represented the passenger capacity – five being available for the touring car body and powered by a six-cylinder engine.

The Model 2-6 roadster found buyers from across the continent with many

vehicles being shipped to agencies in European countries as well. Its engine features three sets of dual cylinders which are mounted to the crankcase with a displacement of 364.5 cid, and rated by the factory at 38 HP. With a three-speed manual transmission, this was an economical prestigious automobile for its day.

This “Baby Six” roadster as it is affectionately known, with two-passenger capacity, was a part of the Gilmore Museum’s collection for many years. It had been treated to an extensive cosmetic restoration back in the 1970s and has been maintained and cared for over the years. Under the hood, the mighty six-cylinder engine is stamped with the car’s chassis number as well as the engine number making this a numbers-matching example. The body and rear-mounted fuel tank are presented in Ivory White, while the hood, fenders and chassis are presented in black. The vintage wooden artillery wheels are painted a rich deep burgundy and fitted with a set of 36” x 4” blackwall tires.

The black button-tufted leather seats are supple and fresh and protected by a black folding top complete with side curtains. Marked Hoffecker Co., Boston, is the combination clock, by Waltham, and speedometer along with an odometer that is currently showing 26,375 miles, though original mileage is unknown. The massive brass Solar headlights appear to be ready to be fired up along with a single rear taillight. The quality of the build, reliability of its operation and the economical expense of ownership made Mitchell one of the premier pioneering automotive companies of America. Ownership today is limited to those who appreciate fine machines and preserving an era in automotive history.

first and second in the amateur driver’s class in the 1899 ParisTrouville race. Only two years later, Renault was building cars and its own engines specifically for competition, and Marcel won the overall victory in the 1901 Paris-Vienna race. By 1913, Renault had grown to become the largest automaker in France, with a reputation for luxury cars of exceptional quality, often fitted

enault’s reputation was made on the open road races of Europe in the cars built and driven by Louis Renault and his brother Marcel. Competition was the most effective way to promote the company’s products and to demonstrate their speed and reliability. The earliest Renaults were powered by de Dion engines and, with a pair of them, Louis and Marcel finished

with the latest in formal coachwork. In the formative years from 1904 to 1928, Renault’s primary identifying features were a shovelnose bonnet and a radiator positioned between the engine and the firewall, something many competitors soon adopted.

Of the 344 1927 Renault RAs built, this example is a true one-of-one, as it features custom one-off coachwork by Million-Guiet. Exhibited at the 1926 Paris and New York Auto Shows, chassis 287084 was then delivered new to a family in Southampton, New York, who would retain it for an astonishing 60 years. In 1989, a Connecticut collector would become the next owner, and following a subsequent refurbishment, which included separating the coachwork and frame to address repairs and painting it in its current color scheme of champagne and brown, this Renault completed the Great American Race in 1990. Following which, it was placed in long-term storage in the Hamptons, where it remained until 2017 when it was rediscovered. Finished in its attractive champagne color, with orange accents on the body and wheels, it sports its signature shovelnose bonnet, leaving a lasting impression and ensuring onlookers this is a rare automobile to see on U.S. shores. The right-hand drive cabin houses a pair of bucket seats and side-facing rear seat trimmed in tan leather, which

matches the door panels and rumble seats. Burl wood surrounds the passenger cabin with orange carpeting, wood door caps, and roll-up side windows are also present. Power is provided by a 3,181cc L-head inline six-cylinder engine that features a single updraft carburetor, distributor, coil ignition, and a radiator mounted rearward of the engine. Additional mechanical features include a four-speed manual gearbox, mechanically actuated four-wheel drum brakes with servo assistance and hydraulic shock absorbers.

This example has undergone a mechanical recommissioning by Restorations

Accompanying the sale are photos of the car before and during the refurbishment, as well as Renault production records and the Renault Certificate of Production list Million-Guiet cabriolet, brochures, and service receipts. Showing off its rarity and one-off coachwork, this Renault was displayed at the 2024 Arizona Concours d’Elegance and placed second in its class.

Mechanically, the 356C represented a leap forward with standard four-wheel disc brakes, new 15-inch wheels with smaller ventilation holes and flat hubcaps, and suspension tweaks for improved handling. Deeper bucket-type reclining seats were courtesy of Reutter, which owned a seating subsidiary that became world-famous as Recaro, short for Reutter Carosserie.

s the first car bearing the Porsche name, the 356 remains the cornerstone of its continuing legacy. The final series 356C debuted in July 1963 and while differing little at first glance from the prior 356B, it was carefully improved and refined throughout. Body suppliers were now streamlined, with Karmann in Osnabrück supplying coupes and Porsche, which had just purchased Reutter, building the Cabriolets in

Mechanically, the 356C represented a major evolutionary step forward with its standard four-wheel disc brakes supplied. New 15-inch wheels with smaller ventilation holes and flat-faced hubcaps accommodated the new disc brakes.

Careful suspension tweaks improved the 356’s handling and somewhat tamed its tendency to oversteer during spirited drives.

The 356C had impeccable construction quality, leading-edge engineering, and offered a unique driving experience, making it a popular alternative to scores of lesser automobiles in period. Perhaps Road & Track magazine editors provided the best endorsement during their time with a 356C test car when they wrote, “…one would look a long time before finding a sports or GT car that offers more pure driving enjoyment.” A lasting legacy that can be seen today, the 356 set a standard by which its replacements, the new 911 and 912, are judged by Porsche’s intensely loyal fans.

A resident of the Boston area earlier in its life, this lovely 1965 Porsche 356C Cabriolet was first sold new to Ethel Carney of Brookline, Massachusetts, on September 9th, 1964. Most recently, it has been cherished in the sunny states of Florida and Texas. Retaining its numbers-matching engine and transaxle, as well as wearing its original and desirable Irish Green livery, it is a Porsche that

commands one’s consideration. The luster and shine of the paint are evident and the black interior presents very well. Features include original Sekurit glass, original SIGLA windshield, and date-coded wheels. A new top, headliner and tonneau cover were installed by marque experts and match the handsome black interior. The simplistic cabin is also upgraded with a period-look modern radio that has an auxiliary adapter for phone plug-in.

The final year and ultimate expression of Porsche’s historic 356 series, this attractive Irish Green numbers-matching example, is an ideal driver which its next owner will find much favor and joy in. With plenty of support from Porsche and numerous independent service providers to maintain it for years to come, this particular 356 is the perfect car to show at the Porsche Club of America events, use on an ever-increasing number of premier sports car rallies, or just enjoy on great summer days.

he most sumptuous luxury cars ever produced on our shores came out of the Depression. One of the era’s most sought-after automobiles is undoubtedly the Packard Twin-Six Victoria. Of the estimated ten 1932 Twin-Six Victoria Convertibles produced, less than a handful are known to exist intact today. They’re practically unicorns. This is one of those few. 587-18 has led a pampered life inside important collections and museums and is the recipient of an incredibly correct mechanical restoration and cosmetic

refresh from a Packard specialist.

Packard’s 1932 Twin-Six debuted at Manhattan’s Roosevelt Hotel. The verdict was clear; it was the most perfect automobile the marque had produced to date. No expense was spared in its development. The Twin-Six Convertible Victoria was bodied in-house by famed designer, Raymond Dietrich; his name was added cache for models already at the pinnacle of the Packard lineup. This car, 587-18, is the seventh Victoria Convertible produced,

as the serial sequence began at 11. Its long, sweeping lines and lavish chrome accoutrements are a snapshot of a bygone era that captures just how regal America’s greatest luxury cars could be. Aside from a body that would make a freight train take a dirt road, the Packard was lauded for its marvelous engine and drivetrain.

Packard’s Twelve was a large-displacement engine known for its silent operation and effortless power regardless of the immense coachwork placed on the chassis. The company’s Twelve hailed from a historically impressive lineage. Packard’s Twelve powered the WWI Liberty airplane and was the first V-12 standard production car in 1916. Every detail was considered in crafting the ultimate luxury experience. A “quiet room” was built to test the audibility of bearings, hidden microphones were placed throughout the car in test drives to work out squeaks and even the gearshift knob was robed in sponge rubber to avoid the noise and feel of vibration.

Packard was fastidious in pursuit of perfection and the remaining examples are all the more valuable for it today.

One of four 1932 Twin-Six Convertible Victorias known to exist, 587-18 ownership history includes avid Packard enthusiast, John Wheatley, as well as a nearly 20-year stay in the important Guy Beatty Collection. A true enthusiast, Mr. Beatty would later transfer much of his collection to the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum.

Leading a pampered life, 587-18 presents as an authentic, matching numbers example and has been freshened including particular attention to the mechanicals.

Verifying its original components are the engine cast date, May 2, 1932, transmission cast, May 22, 1932, and the body stampings all confirm the original components.

The firewall retains its original anti-theft number, the Dietrich badge is affixed to the cowl and the Dietrich job number is stamped as 6165, which corresponds correctly with the production timeline of its July 15, 1932, delivery. The factory test drive sticker, dated July 8, 1932,

is still present on the underside of the glove box. When the convertible top was removed to be replaced, the body number stamping was revealed beneath. Every bit of top hardware falls precisely into the mid-point of 1932 production.

With this particular car, pedigree is equally matched with stately elegance. The burgundy body flaunts a red pinstripe along the beltline, which only elongates the body. The convertible top has been reupholstered in black with burgundy piping, which enhances the red body pinstripe and lends a lowered look to the already regal presence of the car. The Dietrich-designed body rides on ridiculously rare and ultra-attractive, colorcoordinated, 18-inch artillery wheels, wrapped in blackwall tires. The wheels are possibly the only surviving set of Packard custom option 18-inch artillery wheels as 17-inch were standard. The purpose of the 12-point wooden spokes was to dampen road vibrations; they are very rare and all the more stunning for their Packardcrested center. The car has matching dual side-mounted artillery wheels and tires rounding out the ultimate in pre-war luxury aesthetics. Inside the cockpit, beautifully upholstered, correct leather is offset by burled walnut woodwork that exemplifies everything that is to love about this period. In preparation for exhibition at the 2024 Amelia Concours d’Elegance, this example was thoroughly detailed, including the underside.

It is true that many of the world’s finest and rare motorcars were built at precisely the wrong economic moments in time, and the Packard Twin-Six is no exception. The company weathered the Great Depression, but now all that is left of the company are the few surviving marvelous automobiles it produced.

We are fortunate today that this automobile has survived to the present era, and its new owner will be the steward of not just an exceptional and thoroughly documented automobile, but a piece of American automotive history.

take an evolutionary step in designing the new Phantom. The chassis of the new Phantom was essentially carried over from the Silver Ghost with a few refinements but was fundamentally the same as a late-specification four-wheel-brake Silver Ghost. Not that this was a bad thing, as the chassis had proven itself to be massively robust and capable of delivering a driving experience

he Rolls-Royce new Phantom (retrospectively known as the Phantom I) was introduced in 1925 to replace the outgoing Silver Ghost, which had evolved over a nearly 20-year production run and was regarded as the car that established Rolls-Royce as the world’s premier motorcar manufacturer. Given the Silver Ghost’s stellar reputation, it was probably a wise move for Rolls-Royce to

like no other motorcar on the market. It wasn’t until the arrival of the Phantom II in 1929 that an entirely new chassis would be introduced - a true testament to the integrity of the original design. However, the engine, almost entirely new, was an overhead-valve inline six-cylinder that displaced 7,668cc. Like the Ghost before it, the big Phantom power plant was under-stressed and developed its power with remarkable smoothness and refinement.

In order to meet ever growing demand for its products in the important North American market, a subsidiary of Rolls-Royce was established in Springfield, Massachusetts, in December of 1919. Rolls-Royce of America Incorporated was set up in the former American Wire Wheel Company plant, and many of the highly skilled workers were retained by Rolls-Royce to work on the assembly line.

By 1926, Rolls-Royce of America had acquired Brewster and Company, one of America’s most prestigious coachbuilders. A series of 28 catalog bodies would be offered, ranging from sporty roadsters to luxurious town cars. Production of Ghosts and Phantoms would reach as high as twelve cars per week until the Stock Market Crash of 1929 when sales plummeted. Another blow was the arrival of the Phantom II, which meant comprehensive retooling which Rolls-Royce of America simply could not afford. While Rolls-Royce in Derby had moved on to the Phantom II in 1929, the Springfield Phantom I would overlap it, continuing until 1931 with a total of 1,241 Springfield Phantoms produced.

This magnificent Phantom I is fitted with seven-passenger limousine coachwork by Brewster and is believed to be a Lonsdale model. This highly original car has the appearance of a garage find car; perhaps “carriage house estate-find car” would be more appropriate. The silver and black paint and all the trim on this Rolls-Royce displays a lovely patina that many enthusiasts of the brand find quite alluring. The time-worn elegance of this car is enhanced with wire wheels, a luggage rack with trunk and dual side-mount spares on the fenders covered in cloth. The chauffer’s compartment is trimmed in Oxblood Red leather with the dash and upper door panels fitted with wonderfully detailed inlaid wood. The elegant theme is continued to the passenger’s area with more finely inlaid wood trim throughout. The well-preserved cloth interior features a pleated rear seat with curved armrests, collapsible jump seats, rolldown privacy shades and a rear clock. This Phantom I spent many years in the noted Gordon Granger collection prior to its more recent time in the Lone Star Estate Collection. The time capsule look and feel of this fabulous machine is most intriguing. Here, perhaps, is a strong candidate for a Preservation Class presentation at concours events that would certainly draw attention, or a solid candidate for restoration. Handsome and upright, it represents a high point of Rolls-Royce production in America.

1947 Ford Super Deluxe Sportsman Convertible • Ford’s most iconic 'woodie' convertible • 1 of fewer than 100 known surviving examples

• Equipped with a Columbia two-speed rear axle • One of the most collectable post-war Fords

A

“halo car” for Ford dealerships. The Sportsman was produced at the Iron Mountain plant in Michigan. It featured a standard convertible body shell enhanced with sedan delivery fenders and taillights. The exterior demonstrated exquisite craftsmanship, with panels made from the finest maple, birch, and mahogany, all carved from solid wood. The interiors matched this level of detail boasting genuine leather seats in tan or red with French stitching.

fter World War II, the automotive industry saw the emergence of a true icon: the Ford Super Deluxe Sportsman Convertible.

This remarkable vehicle was the brainchild of Henry Ford II, Designer Bob Gregorie, and Head Illustrator Ross Cousins at Ford. The inspiration stemmed from Henry Ford II’s nostalgic memories of a wood-bodied Model A roadster from his youth.

Aiming to recapture this charm, the team set out to create a

Luxury features included a power top and power windows. Production of the Sportsman was limited to 1946 and 1947, with a few models retitled and sold in 1948. Priced $500 above the standard convertible, it was a luxury vehicle that competed with the top-end models from GM and Chrysler. Despite its brief production run, the Sportsman left a lasting legacy, with a total of 3,629 units built over three years, including 205 Mercury versions unique to 1946. This 1947 Ford Super Deluxe Sportsman Convertible is a fitting example of Ford's most sought-after 'woodies' and continues to command attention and admiration upon every arrival. The fenders and hood are finished in a classic Tucson Tan that pairs with the varnished and lightly patinaed wood paneling. The Super Deluxe wheel covers feature trim rings and hand-painted red pinstripes, all of which are wrapped in new classic Firestone wide whitewall tires. The interior of this lovely woodie is a work of art, trimmed with correct red leather upholstery that is surrounded by tan carpets and an Art Deco-inspired dash finished in

mahogany. When weather is unfavorable or one would like to escape the sun during those long drives, a new tan Haartz power convertible top and boot can be deployed. This Super Deluxe is also equipped with many features, including power windows, a radio, a heater, fog lights, and bumper end extensions. To top it off, it is also equipped with the optional Columbia two-speed rear axle to allow this example to maintain modern-day speeds. The classic 100-horsepower 239-cubic-inch Ford V-8 engine is finely tuned and can easily be put into motion thanks to its column-mounted three-speed manual transmission shifter, which has also been fully sorted.

Today, this Super Deluxe is 1 of fewer than 100 believed to have survived out of the 2,274 built in 1947. Among the most desirable and rare wood-bodied Fords, this Super Deluxe is a charming reminder of the simple days in motoring history of the early post-war era.

ever seen. Literally overnight the E-Type took the world of sports cars from rounded and somewhat boxy lines to a sleek and aerodynamic design that found a thousand ways to cheat the

hen Jaguar introduced the all-new XKE at the 1961 Geneva Auto Show, it took everyone by surprise including Enzo Ferrari who remarked that it was the most beautiful car he’d

wind. Quite simply there was nothing like it and the E-Type was here to stay.

Riding on a 96-inch wheelbase and measuring just 48 inches in height, the E-Type was long, low, and fast. Power came from Jaguar’s precision-engineered twin cam six that was durable, reliable and, according to some, bulletproof.

Jaguar would go on to offer a Series I, Series II, and Series III with refinements made at each level. The E-Type also proved itself at race tracks all over the world and in the present day they continue to be defined as the car that changed the world of performance sports cars. Certainly, the E-Type Jaguar looks great from any angle but, when finished in classic gleaming black, the animated lines of this famous car literally come to life. A well-known Jaguar with history that dates back to new, this example was first purchased by businessman Allen V.C. Davis of La Candida, California, on November 22nd, 1961, at Peter Satori’s distributorship in Glendale, California. Mr. Davis would give this Jag to one of his top employees, Mr. Bruce Carpenter, as a bonus in the mid ‘60s. Quite the raise, indeed. A former Marine and pilot, this example stayed under his ownership until 2018. Documented by its JDHT Certificate, this early flat floor welded louver example retains its original numbers-matching engine and wears the same black over beige configuration it did when it left the Coventry factory.

Mr. Carpenter was an excellent caretaker of this Jaguar.

In 2018, this example was acquired by a collector who would commission

our good friends and Jaguar specialists, Jeff’s Resurrections in Taylor, Texas, to conduct a freshening to the tune of over $19,000 in 2019. The work consisted of repainting the hood, installing a new black canvas top with a beige headliner and black boot cover, replacing the door and trunk seals, new leather upholstery in the cabin, as well as new Wilton wool carpeting. Jeff would also mount five new period-correct Avon tires on the chrome knock-off wire wheels. Other interior appointments included refurbishing the Blaupunkt Frankfurt Z radio and adding Bluetooth capability and new speakers. Under the hood, Jeff’s Resurrections performed work as well, which included tuning the carburetors, installing a stainless-steel line, a new exhaust system and porcelain-coated headers. Mechanically the original numbers-matching 3.8-litre inline-six and four-speed manual gearbox perform wonderfully. Further elevating its drivability, an electric fan and modern aluminum radiator were added.

Along with this Jag is the original manufacturer’s warranty, owner’s manual, Jaguar periodic maintenance vouchers, which documents its early service visits, factory tools, and an array of invoices from work performed through the years. An early flat floor, welded louver configuration with a verified numbersmatching engine and original factory color, this black beauty checks all the right boxes. It presents a wonderful opportunity to own what is widely considered one of the most beautiful cars of all time.

1908 Holsman Model 10 Runabout • AACA award-winning professional restoration • Discovered inside an Illinois dairy barn and restored by Ray Morey

• The best-performing automobile on America’s early roads • Innovative rope-chain drive with reverse, air-cooled engine

E

deceptively rugged and very popular on the incredibly rough and muddy, wagon-wheel-worn Midwestern roads of the era, where they proved their worth by getting through, while more modern-appearing competitors with pneumatic tires were left stranded. Due to this uncanny capability, Holsmans were quite popular in developing foreign markets including Australia.

Simplicity and operating ease were other strong selling points

stablished in Chicago by architect Henry K. Holsman and C.H. Bryan, the Holsman Automobile Works produced America’s first and best-known “High-Wheelers” from 1902 to 1911. By 1906, a six-fold expansion of Holsman’s production facilities encouraged a host of imitators, yet Holsman remained the true champion of these carriage-like automobiles. While already antiquated in outward appearance upon introduction, Holsman’s vehicles were

for the Holsman, with advertisements emphasizing the rope-drive system for starting, stopping, and running either forward or backward, all operated by a simple hand lever. Steering was accomplished by a familiar tiller, and brakes were direct acting on the wheels, operated by a foot pedal. Reliability and durability were other Holsman virtues, with the vehicles free of overheating concerns and the need for water pumps with their air-cooled engines. Solid-rubber tires avoided the punctures suffered by the pneumatic tires used by other makes, and the Holsman’s unique drive system did not require a gearbox or clutch for a remarkably trouble-free driving and ownership experience.

By 1908, Holsman advertising proclaimed the company was the oldest maker of motor-buggies in America and, as its tag line stated, “High wheels travel all roads because all roads are made to be traveled by high wheels.” Priced from $550, Holsmans were a solid value, with the company declaring “every part of every machine guaranteed.” While not intended for racing, Holsman was successful in competition, winning the Algonquin Hill Climb by taking first and second place in the Motor Buggy Class of what Holsman trumpeted as the “Greatest Hill Climbing Event in America.” Despite offering many advantages, Holsman’s fierce loyalty to its basic buggy-type design eventually proved to be the company’s undoing. Fierce competition and declining sales forced reorganization and a move of production facilities outside Chicago to Plano, Illinois, but the Holsman Automobile Company was finally wound down in 1911.

This captivating 1908 Holsman Model 10 High-Wheel Runabout was discovered in 2007, alongside a 1909 Holsman Model 5 Runabout, inside the

milking parlor of a nearby dairy barn by Ray Morey from Restorations Unlimited II of Cary, Illinois. As found, this 1908 Holsman was an upscale Model 10 Runabout, equipped with fenders and retaining its deteriorated original folding top. Mr. Morey completely disassembled, stripped, and refinished the Holsman to great effect, with the vehicle beautifully presented and offered with the 100.5-cid air-cooled, two-cylinder engine in fully running order. The Holsman’s ropedrive chain was painstakingly recreated for concours duty; however, for driving and ease of operation, a set of V-belts also accompany the car; only a few minutes of effort are required to switch between them. Paintwork, pinstriping, and abundant brass make this 1908 Holsman a true standout everywhere it appears. Following its restoration, this 1908 Holsman High-Wheel Runabout was shown at the Special AACA meeting in Auburn, Indiana, where it earned its AACA Junior First Prize award. This Holsman would be sold to a well-known horseless carriage member, Konnie Kuiper, before trading hands to the current owner in 2017. Having not been shown since its last AACA event, it presents its next owner with the opportunity to submit it for further judging for possible Senior AACA honors.

The truest expression of the original “Horseless Carriage” concept, this 1908 Holsman Model 10 Runabout is outstanding throughout and historic in every respect as the first motorcar capable of taming Midwestern America’s undeveloped early roads. This groundbreaking Holsman is likely the finest example extant.

1922 Marmon Model 34B Four-Passenger Speedster • Fastidiously restored by Robinson Restorations in Pennsylvania • Multiple Concours d’Elegance award winner

• 340-cubic-inch overhead valve inline six engine • An outstanding CCCA Full Classic®

A

enabled his engines to sustain higher speeds than any other car of that era. His first car was successful, prompting him to continually refine and evolve his designs as he sold more automobiles.

As the automotive side of the business expanded, so did Marmon’s involvement in motorsport, using it as a platform to improve their vehicles. Ray Harroun, a Marmon engineer,

t the dawn of the 20th century, Howard Marmon, the son of founder Daniel W. Marmon, joined the company after earning an engineering degree. He began working on his first automobile as a side project in a corner of his father’s workshop.

Howard Marmon, a meticulous engineer, spent considerable time perfecting details such as an efficient lubrication system, which

developed and drove their most famous racing car, the Wasp. Harroun piloted the Wasp to victory in the first Indianapolis 500 Race, setting the stage for a series of exceptional automobiles that included sporting roadsters, touring cars, and speedsters, culminating in the magnificent sixteen-cylinder cars of the 1930s. Unfortunately, Marmon’s pioneering role was short-lived, as their automobile production did not survive the Great Depression. However, the company did not disappear entirely; it evolved into Marmon-Herrington, a supplier of automotive and truck parts, as well as four-wheel-drive conversions.

Today, enthusiasts recognize Marmon for its engineering brilliance, and these remarkable automobiles are highly prized collector pieces. Inspired by the historic Wasp and equipped with a highly advanced 340-cubic-inch overhead valve inline six-cylinder engine, is this 1922 Marmon Model 34B Four-Passenger Speedster. Riding on a 135-inch wheelbase, this example wears a sporting and elegant four-door speedster body with a rakish phaeton-style folding top and laid-back windscreen. An extensive restoration was completed in 2005 by Bob Robinson of Robinson Restorations in Schwenksville, Pennsylvania, who had actually owned this very car in 1956.

The subtle gray body is adorned with beautifully polished and factory-correct

nickel plating on the bumpers, wheel nuts, wheel trims, mirrors, windscreen, lamps, and fittings. Also enhancing its appearance are six dark blue wheels with period-correct blackwall tires, which add an unmistakable sporting touch to the coachwork. A pair of drum-type cowl lamps echoes the large drum headlamps, all of which have been meticulously restored. Mounted to the driver’s running board is a huge, fantastic vintage Spreadlight search lamp and a correct Marmon-branded Moto-Meter adorns the top of the radiator. The engine even features an on-board air compressor which can be manually engaged in an emergency, a thoughtful and brilliant touch courtesy of Howard Marmon.

Charming gray leather and carpets have been inlaid in the luxurious ‘20s cabin, which is accented with gorgeous wood and nickel work, all of which is reported to appear fresh. Rounding out this 34B is a dark gray canvas top, trunk cover, and side mount spare wheel covers. A winner of multiple awards at various Concours d’Elegance events, which include Hilton Head, Greenwich, and Radnor Hunt, this CCCA Full Classic® is a rare and highly desirable Marmon example that will likely be a welcomed addition to more tours and concours fields in its future.

• Stunning body-off-the-frame restoration by Clayton Restoration Limited • Best Speedster at the 2018 ACD Club Reunion, Year of the Speedster • Best in Show at the 2019 10,000 Lakes Concours d’Elegance • A superb example of one of the most collectible cars from the pre-war era

T

he Auburn Boattail Speedster captures the essence of a bygone era, evoking a deep admiration for its beauty and sophistication.

To say, “They just don’t make them like they used to,” would be a vast understatement here. The Auburn Boattail is not just North America’s most visually dazzling motorcar of the pre-WWII era, it is an Art Deco masterpiece, and this particular offering is among the finest existing examples of the 1931 production year.

When E.L. Cord took the reins of the Auburn Automobile Company, he breathed new life into their quality-made, reliable motorcars. When the Boattail debuted in 1928, it was situated as the focal point of the showroom and display window. Placed to draw in a crowd, customers often left with a more affordable and practical Auburn, but it was the Boattail Speedster that got them in the door. Today, Auburn Boattails are some of the most

coveted pre-WWII cars that the United States has ever produced. No one else on our shores was manufacturing anything like it at the time and the performance matched its looks. The 8-98A model, named for its Lycoming eight-cylinder engine and its 98 horsepower, was equipped with a dual-range overdrive rear axle in the “A” series. Performance that fit the elegant aesthetics, the Auburn Boattail Speedster was bound for greatness the day Al Leamy laid pen to paper.

A staple in the current owner’s noted collection for the last ten years, this outstanding 1931 Auburn 8-98A Boattail Speedster exudes elegance from all angles and has had limited travel under its current tenure. He would acquire it from well-known Minnesota collector Kermit Weeks, who got it from a South Dakota Car Museum many years ago.

Beautifully presented today, it was the recipient of a painstaking body-off-the-frame restoration carried out by Mark Clayton of Clayton Restoration Limited in Castle Rock, Colorado. An array of photos documenting the restoration accompany the car.

During the restoration, this example was noted as being very solid and original. Completed in the earlier half of 2018, this Boattail Speedster was brought to the 2018 ACD Club Annual Reunion.

Each year the Club chooses a car or theme, and this Reunion happened to be celebrating the year

of the Speedster. Up against stiff competition, as it was reported over 40 Speedster examples showed, this masterpiece would win best Speedster, a true testament to its authentic and detailed restoration.

The following year, this Speedster attended the 10,000 Lakes Concours d’Elegance and won Best in Show.

The boattail body is cloaked in a sleek, smooth, yet sinister black finish with flowing silver accents that harmonize for a truly captivating appearance.

Further elevating its body are Depress Beam headlamps, dual cowl lights, dual side-mounted spare chrome wire wheels integrated in the front fenders, a golf club bag door, a finely crafted grille guard, a disappearing black soft top, and a raked V windshield. Trimmed in a deep black leather, the interior is enhanced by its signature engine-turned dash. A body that ages just like a fine bottle of Chateau Lafite Rothschild red wine, “the longer you look, the better it gets,” perfectly sums up the height of the Art Deco Era. This beautifully restored, awardwinning 1931 Auburn 8-98A Boattail Speedster is fit for the most discerning collectors and the finest collections around the globe and will surely impress at many more concours in its future. There is no mistaking this 8-Boattail Speedster for anything but what it is: one of the most beautiful, sporting and exclusive automobiles of the Thirties.

With each new model that is presented, many say, “How can they go up from the last one?” Yet time after time, Ferrari has done just that. Currently at the top, and quite frankly, we don’t even know how they will top this one, sits the SF90.

An ultra-exclusive all-wheel-drive hybrid hypercar that features sensational styling and stomach dropping performance. Out of

unlike any other example. Finished in a special-order four-layer Bianco Italia paint with the $27,842 Italian Tricolore livery, its aggressive, yet refined stance is truly unique. The options are so extensive, Ferrari had to shrink the size of the words on the build plate under the hood to be able to fit all of them on it. A significant amount of optional carbon was used throughout in every piece possible for peak lightness. To name just a few of the exterior options, they include red brake calibers, Scuderia shields, carbon fiber front spoiler, and the aforementioned $27,842 Italian Tricolore livery. The incredible stance on this Ferrari can be attributed to the over $85,000 optional carbon fiber wheel package.

The options are just as vibrant in the cabin with special Cuoio leather and just about every carbon fiber option you can possibly get. The lightweight carbon fiber seats are flanked with coloured red belts, while the center features the Cavallino logo stitched on headrest and tricolour stitching. Perfectly placed in front of the driver is the optional carbon fiber steering wheel with tricolour stitching, which of course has the notoriously famous F1-derived paddle shifters. A theme throughout, the optional nod to the Italian flag can be seen on various parts.

Not sacrificing any modern-day creature comforts, this SF90 is equipped with a heads-up display and most importantly the optional Apple CarPlay. Power, which this example has plenty of, is provided by

a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V-8 that generates 769 horsepower on its own, with a trio of electric motors that supply an additional 217 horsepower.

Altogether, the hybrid power plant generates 986 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, making this the first mid-engine Ferrari with all-wheel drive. In testing, Motor Trend found the SF90, when equipped with the Assetto Fiorano performance package, was able to rip a blistering 0 to 60 sprint in a mere 2.1 seconds, all while achieving a quarter mile at 145.2 mph.

Included with this one-owner Ferrari is a clean CARFAX®, manuals, car cover, and duffle bag.

Equipped with the Assetto Fiorano performance package and $252,000 in factory options, this example is not for just anyone; it was merely crafted for a select few and priced for only the wealthiest to be able to enjoy. An ultra-exclusive hypercar, it presents a unique opportunity, made possible only by the Lone Star Estate Collection, to purchase a sold out, essentially brand new 2024 SF90 Spider that is one of the highest spec examples we have ever seen. The right time to have bought an F40 was 1987 when they were $400,000; today, they routinely exceed $3 million. The right time to have bought an F50 was 1995 when they were $475,000; today, they routinely exceed $4 million. The right time to buy an SF90 Spider Assetto Fiorano is today.

Diablo would end up being in the bedrooms of many younger enthusiasts and the garage of older ones as their “poster car”, a supercar that captivated all generations. Every so often, Hollywood will produce a movie that captivates an audience like nothing else, and when Martin Scorsese released his movie The Wolf of Wall Street in 2013, it instantly built a cult following that can still be seen today, especially in those 50 and under. Based on the true-life story

very so often a car is built and comes to market that captivates the public. Introduced to the world on January 21st, 1990, as the succcessor to the Countach, the Diablo was a radical new supercar from the famed Italian firm Lamborghini. A highperformance mid-engine sports car capable of attaining a top speed in excess of 200 mph, the Diablo was built between 1990 and 2001. Sensational styling and impressive performance the

of Jordan Belfort, a stockbroker-turned-fraudster, who is played by Leonardo DiCaprio in the film, The Wolf of Wall Street shows how Mr. Belfort went from barely making ends meet to building a wealth that far surpassed $100 million. A bold, flamboyant, risk taker, the 'Wolf' was idolized for what many would say was the “American dream”, but in the end he was found out and the gavel came crashing down, pleading guilty to fraud and other related crimes, and resulting in hefty fines and jail time. A star studded cast it also featured Margot Robbie, Jonah Hill, and Matthew McConaughey; equally as impressive were the automobiles, a great deal of late ‘80s and ‘90s sports and luxury cars, such as this Super Fly Yellow Diablo. Most recently in 2023, a featured Lamborghini Countach that was Jordan Belfort's character's car in The Wolf of Wall Street movie sold for over $1.6 million, and Donald Trump's VT Roadster recently sold for $1.1 milllion, showcasing just how desirable these celebrity status Lambos have become. As seen in the multi-award winning movie, The Wolf of Wall Street, this 1998 Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster can be spotted in the film during the Benihana arrest scene. A reported 1 of just 132 VT Diablo Roadsters built for U.S. market between 1995 and the 1999 production run in its entirety, this example is indeed a rare automobile.

Finished in factory Super Fly Yellow over a Nero leather interior, it wears a color scheme that many had on the poster that was pinned to their walls

growing up. PPF was applied to the front to protect the paint. Furthering its rarity, it left the Sant'Agata Bolognese assembly plant with the optional factory big brake package, 18-inch Roadster wheels, and rear-wing delete. Equipped with a carbon fiber removable top that can be placed in the front bonnet, these Roadsters become that much more enjoyable when favorable weather is present. The “eyelids” and rear decklid plugs are present to fill the holes when the top is off, resulting in a more cosmetically pleasing look. The interior trim pieces have carbon fiber weave, and Alpine speakers were installed to go with the original Alpine amplifier and Kenwood stereo system.

Serviced regularly and mechanically sound, this Super Fly Yellow example has had just three owners and sports only 8,275 miles from new, as the accompanying clean CARFAX® will attest.

An engine-out servicing and clutch replacement was performed in 2014, with the V-12 engine and five-speed manual transaxle in top shape. Also accompanying the sale of this supercar is a tool kit and a copy of a letter documenting this example on the set of the world premier film. Instantly recognizable, this is a rare Diablo with its factory big brake package, rear-wing delete, and Super Fly Yellow paint; it is further elevated as a cultural icon having made its debut on the big screen across the globe, it is itself, a movie star.

VIN: AZ375000 • The Grateful Dead’s band equipment truck • Affectionately named by band members as 'The Dred' • Formerly owned by Owsley Stanley • Featured in Rolling Stone magazine and various other publications • A true piece of rock and roll history

1949 Studebaker M5 'Grateful Dead' Pickup

A

n American band formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California, the Grateful Dead left a lasting impression on the globe, especially among teens and young adults that grew up in the era. In a time when America was in a social society shift, it’s hard to quite describe what the Grateful Dead’s genre was, as they were known for their eclectic style that infused elements of quite literally everything from rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, reggae, country, jazz, psychedelia, and space rock.

Owned by Owsley Stanley, the Grateful Dead’s original sound man and a man that influenced an entire generation with his “outside-the-box” thoughts, this 1949 Studebaker was used as the band’s equipment hauler in the 1960s. Known as 'The Dred', it was often seen parked outside the Dead’s

studio in Novato, California or the party house at Olympia; 'The Dred' became a living legend of its own. A slow gas guzzler, this truck actually hauled the band’s equipment to Los Angeles when they recorded their first album, “The Grateful Dead”. As time went on, 'The Dred' would be replaced by larger, more modern trucks as it could not haul the Wall of Sound. Featured in various publications and magazines that have been printed and issued around the world, 'The Dred' was mentioned by name in a Rolling Stone magazine feature article on Owsley Stanley in the November 25th, 1982, issue.

Today, 'The Dred' is presented in its original psychedelic livery. Though this truck has seen better days, the patina is truly a part of its character and help tell the long and historic story that this truck has to

offer. On the rear of the truck are various California registrations from the ‘80s documenting where 'The Dred' most likely spent most of its time after retiring from being the band’s equipment hauler. The bench seat has been well-kept thanks to a clear cover. Under the hood is a straight six-cylinder motor that is paired with a manual transmission.

The Grateful Dead’s impact on music, culture, and live performance remains significant, securing their place as one of the most iconic and influential bands. Truly a piece of rock and roll history, 'The Dred' would make for a wonderful addition to any pop culture collection.

1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop • The first Chevrolet vehicle of the iconic Tri-Five era • V-8 power and legendary styling • Single ownership and care since 2006

F

or 1955, the full-size Chevy Bel Air received all-new lower styling and new V-8 power, pushing out 162 horses through a three-speed synchromesh transmission. It was longer and lower than most other vehicles on the road, with a sleek Sweep Sight wraparound windshield. Called the 'Hot One' in GM's advertising campaign, Chevrolet's styling was trendy and crisp, with an

egg-crate grille, hooded headlamps, chrome spears on the front fenders, stainless-steel window moldings, and full wheel covers.

New features for 1955 included the 12-volt electrical system, improved brakes, and the Glide Ride suspension system. Motor Trend magazine gave the Bel Air top marks for ride and handling, and Popular Mechanics reported acceleration for the V-8 Bel Air

as being 0-60 mph in 12.9 seconds, a tremendous accomplishment for a 3,300pound car. The addition of the eight-cylinder engine boosted the factory base price by approximately $100. Chevrolet produced 185,562 examples of the Bel Air hardtop in 1955 and is always easy to spot because of the lack of a pillar between the front and rear windows in the hardtop.

This lovely example was purchased in immaculate condition in July of 2006, and has been enjoyed as a classic car should be. The iconic two-tone paint is stunning, and the entire car is presented just as it left the Janesville, Wisconsin, factory. The chrome is largely original and all in great shape, with the factory wheels and caps in place. From the lenses to the glass and the rubber, this

example was correctly restored and has been cherished ever since. Inside, the two-tone interior is clean and correct from top to bottom, with that iconic dash in wonderful condition. The odometer reads just a few thousand miles, showing the careful collector use since restoration. The 265-cubic-inch V-8 engine is in excellent and accurate condition, and the car starts easily, runs strong and drives as it should. The clean engine compartment will always attract attention wherever it is shown, and literally every car enthusiast will know the history of this legendary Chevrolet. If you were able to choose your ’55 Bel Air, this would be it - with all the top features and colors that make it so iconic.

• Outstanding workmanship and vintage speed equipment • Pure stock appearance

that distinguished each member in the fine family of Ford cars.

For many, the 1940 Fords represent the pinnacle of design and have long been favorites with collectors and admirers. Several innovations were introduced with the 1940 Fords including the much-improved sealed beam headlights. Ford touted the new twin-beam action with a Country beam for the open road or a Traffic beam for passing or in town driving. The entire headlight

s the 1930s gave way to the 1940s, many new automotive styles and innovations were being introduced. Ford’s 1940 lineup attracted a wide range of customers when new, from the country doctors that still made house calls, to those daredevil moonshiners in the South. Ford Motor Company’s Head of Styling, E. T. “Bob” Gregorie, under the direction of President Edsel B. Ford, created a family look while incorporating design features

assembly along with the parking lights, were housed in a sleek chrome unit that was skillfully blended into the fully rounded fenders. A major safety improvement was relocating the transmission shifter from the floor to the steering column and with “finger tip” operation, it made changing gears easier and safer for the driver while providing more legroom and comfort for front seat passengers.

Those riding in the new 1940 Ford enjoyed a more pleasing experience with the addition of double-acting shock absorbers, longer front springs, and deep, soft cushioned seats. Under the hood, the V-8 engine provided plenty of power for day-to-day driving whether it was to and from work, a shopping expedition, or on a journey to visit far away relatives. From every angle the 1940 Fords were rolling works of art, impressive when new and deeply admired today.

Our consignor acquired this car recently from a close friend who had restored and built it as a gift for his father. Finished in deep rich Claret Maroon, it captures the look that others tried to copy. At the time of cataloging, the car showed a little over 2,600 miles since its build. Completed in 2011, the two-year project took no short cuts with attention to quality and precision. Treated to a full frame-off restoration, the body panels are smooth and aligned just as they were so artfully designed. Applied in several steps using the PPG Clear Coat system, the deep maroon paint today shows the care and quality of application.

Show quality chrome was installed inside and out including the center grille, bumpers, headlight surrounds and door handles. Fresh brown leather seating surfaces comfort the driver and passenger while the tight-fitting folding tan top is textbook in execution and appearance. During the process, all electrics were upgraded to 12 volts which allowed the installation of a new set of custom

gauges from VDO, completed with a billet aluminum dashboard. All-new plastic dashboard trim items were installed; the floor covering and door panels were all completed to the same degree of excellence. The show quality chassis was finished in high-gloss chassis black paint and, during the restoration, a custom disc brake system was added up front while the rear drum brakes were completely rebuilt. The wheels were finished in the same Claret Maroon and, today, are fitted with a fresh set of wide whitewall tires plus both inner and outer bright metal trim rings and hubcaps.

The real treat on this 1940 DeLuxe is what’s under the hood. A totally built 239-cubic-inch flathead engine was installed and fitted with Offenhauser finned aluminum heads, as well as a triple-carburetor intake manifold, also from Offenhauser. Currently just one highly polished Stromberg 97 sits atop the manifold; however, the second and third Strombergs are included in the sale. Power comes from a solid-state Petronix system working with a Mallory performance distributor. Fenton cast iron headers are mounted to the engine and feed the gases through a dual exhaust system. On close inspection there are many little details you will see such as the Ford script tailpipe extensions and the blue dot inserts on the rear taillights. From the exterior, this 1940 Ford DeLuxe convertible looks like it is pure stock, while the subtle upgrades and extra performance make this a ride that can be proudly shown and confidently driven. Also included are a few spare parts and the original chassis parts book as well as reprints of other service items. With outstandingly good looks and a powerful, reliable drivetrain, it checks all the boxes for guaranteed open road fun.

1974 Pontiac SD455 Trans Am • Rare Super Duty 455 • 1 of just 212 four-speed Super Duty cars for 1972 • PHS documented and highly original with matching numbers

• Gold cosmetic enhancements inspired by Bill Mitchell’s exhibit car at the 1974 Chicago Auto Show • Desirable Admiralty Blue over black livery

S

1974 was such a season of turmoil in the automotive industry.

Due to rising gas prices and availability, plus increasingly stringent federal regulations, the turn away from the vaunted American muscle car was seen throughout the industry. Introduced in a period when other manufacturers were backing off from performance, Pontiac’s Super Duty 455 bucked against the trend,

tarting in 1971, Pontiac dropped the massive 455-cubic-inch engine into the Trans Am resulting in one of the most soughtafter performance cars of its era. The 1973 model marked the arrival of the large iconic Firebird graphic on the hood. More importantly, the Trans Am and Firebird Formula were now available with the potent new Super Duty 455 engine.

developing an admiration that became entrenched for those who read about it in period automobile magazines, but especially for those who had experienced its fierce acceleration and excellent handling characteristics. The 1974 models featured a redesigned front end and new wide slotted taillights. The Pontiac Firebird Trans Am took on a new, more aerodynamic shape. The hood bird returned and proved to be quite the popular feature. The well-respected SD455 made its final appearance and the industry has seen little like it since. The car’s fresh appearance was the big marketing news for Pontiac in 1974; sales for the Trans Ams were their strongest yet. It's amazing to see how an engine can generate such enthusiasm amongst Firebird aficionados more than 50 years after its inception, but when conversation turns to the Pontiac Super Duty 455, all agree it was one of the best engines Pontiac ever made.

Finished in highly desirable Admiralty Blue over black, this 1974 Trans Am Super Duty 455 was originally delivered to Seltzer Pontiac in Chicago, Illinois. Fully documented with copies of the build sheet, window sticker and authenticated

by Pontiac Historical Services (PHS), this Trans Am retains its matching numbers 455 Super Duty engine producing 390 ft lbs of torque with 290 HP and Muncie M21 close-ratio four-speed manual transmission that sends power back to a 3.42 Positraction rear end. It was a beast on the road in 1974. There were a reported total of 10,255 Trans Ams built; of these, only 943 were Super Duty 455 cars. Only 212 were equipped with a four-speed transmission such as this

car, making it a very rare bird indeed. The Super Duty 455 had forged rods and larger valves with aluminum pistons. Factory options include Soft Ray glass, rear glass defroster, AM/FM radio, 8-track tape player, console and the highly desirable Custom Trim Group that consists of comfortable cloth upholstery, upgraded door panels and other interior décor items. Additionally, this Trans Am has been fitted with power windows, power door locks, rear seat console and tilt steering column. Although Super Duty cars equipped with manual transmissions were not available with air-conditioning when new, a factory air-conditioning system was sourced and carefully installed by a previous owner.

GM Design Chief, Bill Mitchell, had a specially prepared Trans Am exhibited at the 1974 Chicago Auto Show with the Gold Special Edition decal and striping package, gold grille and headlight surrounds, gold engine-turned instrument panel and console trim, and Gold Honeycomb wheels wearing Goodyear Eagle GT2 tires. This example emulates that very car and its inspired gold cosmetic enhancements.

This final year numbers-matching Super Duty 455 Trans Am presents beautifully with only 60,904 miles on the odometer and comes with factory warranty booklets, manuals and previously mentioned PHS documents. In the storied history of the Pontiac Trans Am, the mighty Super Duty 455 is certainly one of, if not the most, desirable example available.

• Amazing custom paint in spectacular condition • Built by famed chopper builder, and Strokers Dallas owner, Rick Fairless • A fully functional rolling piece of art • Modern V-Twin power and belt drive • Return to the ‘60s in style

One-Off Custom by Rick Fairless | 2001 ASVE "Psychedelic" Custom Chopper

I

f you are a fan of custom choppers, you already know about Rick Fairless. If this is new to you, Rick’s business is called Strokers Dallas. He has been a regular on KRLDFM, with his show, “The Texas Hardtails Scooter Show,” and more recently, he has been seen on the Discovery Channel’s, “Biker Build-Off,” and the Speed Channel’s, “Texas Hardtails.” He’s even had customs exhibited at the William J. Clinton Presidential Center. His forte is portraying entire eras on a custom motorcycle, and today, we are selling one of his personal bikes that features images of the 1960s called “Psychedelic”. With an amazing paint job that covers almost every part of the bike, Rick created a bike like nothing you’ve ever seen.

Rick, himself, described “Psychedelic” like this: “We built the “Psychedelic” chopper in 2003. At the time,

choppers were pretty minimalistic motorcycles, but my vision was to build a custom chopper that was state-of-the-art and completely full of art! I wanted a hardtail chopper with its roots deep in the 1960s, with a long, lean, rigid frame with lots of stretch up front and a springer front end, and of course - a big motor! I designed the paint to be psychedelic and called it "Everything 1960s"! The paint included names like Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Haight Ashbury, Rat Fink, Frank Zappa, and even Charles Manson. I like to mix words in with the designs so there are sayings like: Draft Beer Not People, Make Love Not War, The Beatles, Twilight Zone and much more. You can stare at the “Psychedelic” chopper all day and still come back the next day and see cool stuff that you missed the day before! So, the bottom line is, that when we built the

“Psychedelic” chopper, it caused a stir in the custom motorcycle industry because it was so different from all the other choppers that were being built at the time.

To this day, there is still nothing like the “Psychedelic” chopper, and I think it's one of the coolest custom choppers on the planet! I built this motorcycle for my own use, but I've owned it now for over 20 years, so it’s time for someone else to enjoy this important part of American Custom Motorcycle History!”

If a bike that features modern performance, classic lines, an integrated frame tank, and more ‘60s graphics than you’ve ever seen on a motorcycle tickles your interest, pay attention to a very unique opportunity.

Look twice - or more - at “Psychedelic,” because there is an amazing balance of artistry and engineering in this Rick Fairless masterpiece.

673 1987 Lamborghini Countach 5000QV This lot is available for online bidding at WorldwideAuctioneers.com VIN: ZA9CA05A4HLA12053 Engine No: 1166

• Limited ownership, including single owner from 2003 to 2023 • $30,000 transmission, clutch, and differential rebuild in the summer of 2024 • Documented by over 60 service records and a clean CARFAX®

• U.S.-spec factory fuel-injected example listed in the Countach Registry • The poster car of the ‘80s and ‘90s

T

Penned by visionary Marcello Gandini at Bertone, its wedge-shaped body, scissor doors, and bold angles redefined automotive design language. Initially known as the LP500 prototype, it was later named the “Countach”, an Italian exclamation of astonishment, which perfectly summed up its, let's say, radical aesthetics. As the years rolled on, Lamborghini continually refined the Countach, culminating in 1987, to create the 5000QV (Quattrovalvole) model.

hroughout the long and coveted history of the automobile, few cars have achieved legendary status quite like the Lamborghini Countach 5000QV. A potent blend of cutting-edge design, impressive performance, and a revolutionary powertrain, the Countach became a true symbol of the ‘80s supercar era. The roots of the Countach date back to the early 1970s, when Lamborghini unleashed the first prototype at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show.

Beneath its unmistakable exterior, the heart of the 5000QV was a naturally aspirated, mid-mounted V-12 engine. The roaring 5.2-litre V-12 engine generated an awe-inspiring 420 horsepower and accelerated from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4.5 seconds, all while soaring to a top speed of 180 miles per hour.

Originally delivered to Lamborghini East, in New York on October 8th, 1986, this Countach 5000QV is 1 of just 610 produced and is finished in the attractive and desirable color combination of Rosso over Nero with gold phone dial wheels. A U.S.-spec factory fuel-injected example, it elevates its rarity among its peers. Acquired from a collector in Pompano Beach, Florida, the previous private owner located in Texas would take ownership in 2003 and hold onto this example until 2023. Under his ownership, this raging bull would receive an in and out service that was comprised of an engine rebuild, a service/rebuild of the suspension, and a rebuild of the clutch. The cooling system was also upgraded, as was the air-conditioning, to accommodate the Texas heat.

This service happened around 25,000 km ago and

is documented by invoice records that are on file.

Benefiting from a cosmetic refresh, this Countach presents very well, and the all-original Nero interior remains in very nice condition. Just a few months ago, in the summer of 2024, this example benefited from further service by marque specialist Evan’s Automotive in Columbus, Ohio, which entailed a $30,000 transmission, clutch, and differential rebuild.

It is worth noting that this Countach wears correct P7 tires dated 2019 that have plenty of tread left for spirited drives.

Along with the sale of this outstanding automobile, comes the factory manuals, tools, spare tire, clean CARFAX®, and over 60 invoice sheets documenting past care and maintenance. This road-going missile is a testament to Lamborghini’s prowess, combining raw power with the mechanical symphony of an era celebrated for its analog charm. Documented in the Countach Registry, this Rosso (Red) 5000QV is set and ready for continued enjoyment and appreciation by its next fortunate caretaker.

• Rare as one of just two known surviving Cabriolet examples • Extensive nine-year body-off-the-frame restoration • Never before shown and ready for important judged events • Styling and design by Raymond Loewy

1932 Hupmobile I-226 Cabriolet

I

n an original 1932 Hupmobile sales brochure, the company proclaimed, "A new age and a new Hupmobile are born…together." Having made it through the worst of the Great Depression, the Hupp Motor Car Co. decided to go to market with an all-new design from the famed Raymond Loewy. The Series 226 was offered in four different body styles and featured a junior and senior series. The junior had a six-cylinder engine and the top-of-the-line senior offered an impressive eightcylinder, such as this example.

A rare pre-war 1930s automobile, this 1932 Hupmobile I-226 Cabriolet is one of just two known examples according to the Hupmobile Club. A jewel within the current owner’s climate-controlled garage for the last nine years, it was by chance this example was discovered.

The current owner came across this I-226 while at a

local scrap yard. The owner of the scrap yard thought it might have some importance, so he kept it from the fatal demise of being crushed. The current owner would acquire it that same day, as he was looking for a new project and thought it looked interesting. After much communication with the Hupmobile Club and other marque experts, to the owner’s surprise, his I-226 was one of just two known surviving examples.

With this knowledge, the current caretaker embarked on a nine-year body-off-the-frame restoration. Being such a rare automobile, he would travel everywhere from New York to California tracking down the right parts. The outcome is simply beautiful as the body is finished in a striking silver with elegant dark green accents on the soft top, wire wheels, and interior. Perched on blackwall tires, the silver paint and body lines are

further highlighted. Features of this cabriolet include dual enclosed side-mounted spare tires, a rumble seat, and fold-out windshield. After the restoration was completed, the current owner has simply enjoyed this Hupmobile in his garage, only allowing family and certain club members to see it. Mechanically, this example is powered by a 103-horsepower 279-cubic-inch L-head inline eight-cylinder engine, which is mated to a threespeed manual transmission. Firing right up, this Hup would certainly be welcomed on an array of classic car touring events. Two original, hard-to-find Series 226 sales brochures accompany the sale of this Hup. For the discerning collector who covets the seldom seen and the elegance of a Raymond Loewy design, it will grant its next owner membership and opportunities exclusive to very few.

R

500 cars a year in a range of open and closed body configurations.

These electric cars found popularity among the rich and wealthy due to their ease of driving, quiet operation, and capacity for carrying heavy coachwork with multiple passengers, thanks to high-torque motors. With the rise of the self-starter gasoline cars, Rauch & Lang's sales began to decline, so in 1915, the company merged with Cleveland, Ohio, competitor Baker Electric and

auch & Lang, a company based in Cleveland, Ohio, had its roots in the carriage trade, established in 1884 by Jacob Rauch and Charles Lang. Specializing in high-quality horse-drawn carriages, their products were known for their prestige and higher cost. In 1903, the company took its first step into the realm of “horseless carriages” by acquiring a Buffalo electric motor and controller supplier, Hertner Electric. By 1908, Rauch & Lang was producing

continued to offer several passenger models under the Rauch & Lang brand.

However, in 1920, their electric car business was acquired by the Stevens-Duryea Company, and the production of Rauch & Lang’s electric cars was moved to a new factory, where they started manufacturing taxis with both petrol and electric powertrains. While petrol-powered cabs proved more successful, the demand for electric vehicles waned. By 1929, Rauch & Lang made one final push, experimenting with a petrol/electric hybrid vehicle in collaboration with General Electric, but the Wall Street Crash of October 1929 would deal a fatal blow to Rauch & Lang, resulting in their downfall.

An early pioneer in green energy and the electric car market, this 1917 Rauch & Lang JX7 Electric is a rare and seldom seen surviving example that has been faithfully restored. The original body is finished in a sinister black. Riding on wood spoke wheels that have also been crowned in black and wrapped in newer 4-ply 6-ply rated blackwall tires. The overall appearance is captivating and leaves onlookers wondering how this automobile was constructed and engineered in 1917, especially since it emulates such a quiet sound strolling down the road. The boxed cabin has been finely restored like the rest of the car and features a rear bench seat that places the driver on the left side, as well as a single swiveling parlor is placed rearward. Brown and white cord fabric

upholstery covers the entire cabin and is drawn together with subtle brown carpeting. Features include roll-up windows, rear corner lights, a dome light, and a rearview mirror spanning the width of the windshield. Slotted beside the front swivel seat is a cluster of gauges, which entail a gauge that monitors amperage hours, a Weston Ammeter, a Weston voltmeter, and a Warner AutoMeter drum-style speedometer. An 8-day Waltham Watch Company face is embedded next to the cluster of gauges. The driver is placed on the left side of the bench seat as the tiller steering control and hand throttle are equipped on that side. The most interesting part of this pioneering automobile is the motor and mechanisms, as it has a DC electric motor that provides five forward speeds to the rear wheels via a shaft drive and worm-drive axle. Suspension incorporates solid front and rear axles with elliptic leaf springs at the rear and semi-elliptic leaf springs at the front. This example was recently fitted with newer batteries, four placed in the front and three in the rear.

Way ahead of its time, but also at the very birth of the EV craze that can be seen today, this 1917 Rauch & Lang JK7 Electric is a true testament to innovation during the progressive era and one that set the standard for almost all EV automobiles to follow.

reported 230 C-17 Eight Coupes. Today, it is estimated that 10 percent of the 230 originally built survive today, making them a rare and seldom seen automobile. Well-known and documented over the past 60 years, ownership history picks up in 1962 by John O. Clean of Richmond, Virginia, and then Jack W. Ritter of Ohio from 1978 through 1994. The next owner would be Peter Matuszek of Illinois who kept this Airflow in his collection until

irst introduced in 1934, the Chrysler Airflow became first “streamlined” automobile in the United States, featuring an all-steel construction. Known as the “Three Musketeers”, the Airflow was designed by Chrysler engineers Carl Breer, Fred Zeder, and Owen Skelton. Only lasting for four years, the final Airflow would be produced in 1937, carrying a different and distinctive body style compared to its predecessors. Chrysler produced a

2014, before selling it to Deb Powless. Acquired in 2018, Tom Griffith of Verona, Wisconsin, would be the last owner until the current owner. Mr. Griffith was assembling a collection of important and interesting motorcars, saying this Airflow was the perfect fit. Possessing many features from the Art Deco era, this curvaceous Airflow is finished in a fitting black livery with chrome and stainless-steel trim throughout. Charmed with vintage patina and mellowing, it adds to this ‘30s automobile’s look. The final offering of the Airflow, the grille features a distinctive look from its previous years, showcasing over 20 horizontal chrome bars on the bottom and six on the top half of the grille.

The cabin features nice design cues throughout and is trimmed in a tan wool Bedford cord upholstery, only showing slight signs of patina. The faux wood

dashboard is all original and presents quite well. According to the consignor, all the instruments work well, including the tachometer which is discreetly integrated into the speedometer. Even the radio and heater work. Under the hood lies a 323-cubic-inch straight-eight that produces a factory rated 138 horsepower. Backed by a three-speed manual transmission with overdrive and a near 50-50 weight distribution, this Airflow is a phenomenal automobile for touring events, especially on CCCA CARavan events.

Offered from the final year of the Airflow and carrying known ownership history from the past 60 years, this rare 1937 Chrysler Airflow Series C-17 Eight Coupe is an Art Deco masterpiece and one that will give its next owner many more years of motoring memories.

1955 Chevrolet Corvette Serial #8 Roadster • The 8th V-8 Corvette ever produced • Quality body-off-the-frame-restoration by marque experts • 1 of only 700 Corvettes built in 1955

• Accompanied by its significantly rare original factory assembly line build card

T

particular example is only the 8th Corvette to ever cradle a V-8, which makes it a rare example among the 700 models produced that production year that would save the Vette from obscurity.

Chevy’s first-generation Corvette debuted at the WaldorfAstoria in January of 1953 and immediately captivated audiences.

It was thanks to the vision of GM’s Head of Styling, Harley Earl. Earl

he Corvette is firmly embedded in our psyche as ‘America’s Sportscar,’ but the future icon was nearly canceled in its second year of production. Fortunately, the 1955 Corvette was retooled to equip the already stunning body with requisite power under the hood. With the introduction of the V-8 engine, the Vette sped into our hearts and onto the pages of history books. This

watched as service members returned with European sports cars from World War II and he immediately sought to fill the American market’s gaping chasm with his own Special Projects crew and Chief Engineer, Ed Cole. The fruits of their labor revealed every inch to be the American sports car of Earl’s dream, at least on the outside. The racy body, blessed with a curved front end akin to European sports cars, was animated with long-life headlights enmeshed in wire. In opposition to its sports car moniker, the early Corvette was merely equipped with a 235-cubic-inch, 150-horsepower six-cylinder engine. Only 300 units were produced in 1953 and the 3,640 units in 1954 delivered dismal sales. America’s future favorite sports car was almost tossed into the dustbin of history until GM Engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov was thrown into the mix. Later dubbed, “father of the Corvette,” Zora campaigned for a V-8 under the hood as well as a manual transmission. The 1955 was introduced with the V-8 and the manual transmission would be added as an option mid-way through the production year. With the launch of the 265-cubic-inch OHV V-8 mated to a Carter four-barrel carburetor, the Corvette finally had the chops to truly compete in the sports car arena. GM tested the waters with the 1955, manufacturing only 700 units for the production year, which is the second lowest number Corvette has ever produced. The reception was overwhelming, and production immediately rose to 3,467 units in 1956; that number continued to rise, and the

Corvette was catapulted into the stratosphere. This 1955 Chevrolet Corvette VIN E55S001008, is just the 8th Corvette produced in 1955 as well as the 8th Corvette to ever be produced with an eight-cylinder engine. Offered from a significant Corvette collector that has owned countless early Vettes and pilot car examples, Serial #8 has been restored to a very high standard, thanks to marque experts. Photos document this example before the body-off-the-frame restoration was commissioned. Finished in Polo White over a red interior with a folding tan cloth top, its appearance is truly iconic. As rare as this example is, most significant is the paperwork that accompanies it. While the Corvettes were being built on the assembly line, a “build card” followed them, showing the workers what needed to be done. Once completed, these cards were simply thrown away. Amazingly surviving the plant and the last 69 years, is its original assembly build card, documented by its VIN. Other notable paperwork includes an original envelope and letter from Chevrolet dated September 1st, 1955, addressing a missing owner’s manual, as well as the original 1969 California certificate of ownership. A true piece of American automotive engineering history, as just the 8th production Corvette to be blessed with an eight-cylinder engine, and offered from a noted Corvette collector, this example would be rightfully welcomed into any museum or private sporting collection.

1969 Chevrolet Nova Restomod • Ultra custom build by Derick Samson of Samson Design in Marshall, Missouri • Meguiar’s Magnificent Masterpiece award, Goodguys Builders Choice, Best Custom at Detroit Autorama and Chicago World of Wheels

• Fitted with an insane sound system by industry leader Matt Schaeffer • Fuel-injected LS2 6.0-liter engine with 6L80E six-speed automatic transmission

I

Offered in a variety of engine and transmission configurations, the Nova became something feared on the back roads and downtown streets of America. While the Nova was universally loved, especially among muscle car and hot rodders alike, it was

ntroduced in 1962 as the top-of-the-line Chevy II, the Nova was built to take on the likes of the Ford Falcon. As the years went on, changes were made to the Nova, and by 1969 the Nova had displaced the Chevy II nameplate and become its own vehicle.

lacking a few things, which were modern day amenities. Bridging the gap and offering the best of both worlds, is this ultra custom 1969 Chevrolet Nova Restomod that has captured awards around the country. The build was carried out by Derick Samson and his team of Samson Design in Marshall, Missouri. It features smoothed body panels, hand-made polished floor pans, and a flushmounted belly pan that fits into the bumper and body. Coated in a memorizing color, Dupont Chromebase and Mercedes-Benz Steppenbraun (brown), the exterior sparkles under the sunlight and plays well with the one-off wheels, truly capturing onlookers’ attention.

At the heart of this build, is a fuel-injected 6.0-liter aluminum LS2 V-8 engine that has been reprogrammed by Street and Performance. Dressed to impress, a handmade engine cover and custom fabricated air intake lie under the hood, making people stop and stare while also ensuring that maximum horsepower and style are reached. Backing the engine is a 6L80E automatic transmission which pairs with Heidts Pro G suspension, guaranteeing a smooth ride. Stopping power is appointed by Wilwood brakes that match the color theme of the build.

The cabin entails custom fabricated brown leather that is smooth to the touch and comfortable to sit in. A 1956 Bel Air steering wheel on a tilt column and custom gauge pods, with a complement of white-face gauges, center the stitched brown leather interior, and is a focal point of the cabin, along

with the unique back seats. Placed in the middle console is a large Sony touch screen that controls most of the interior features. Vintage Air air-conditioning is installed, ensuring passengers have a comfortable ride. Taking the build to a whole new level, this Nova has an expertly tuned and finely crafted audio system that finds the perfect balance of bass and treble, by industry leader Matt Schaeffer. Used as a demo car at various high-end shows around the country, the cabin is equipped with handmade French Focal Utopia speakers, four Mosconi Pro amplifiers, SP2000 Audio single digital player and Helix Ultra DSP which is the “brains” of that audio system and grants its occupants’ ears and senses an unforgettable experience. No stranger when it comes to wowing the crowd and winning awards, this custom Nova was the 2014 SEMA feature car at the Axalta booth, awarded Best Custom at the Detroit Autorama, as well as Best Custom at the Kansas City, Chicago, and Omaha World of Wheels. It was the Builder’s Choice Award at Goodguys in Columbus, Ohio, and the recipient of the coveted Meguiar’s Magnificent Masterpiece award at the Goodguys competition in Pleasanton, California. With accolades like this, it is safe to say this example is well-known and has been admired throughout the United States.

Equipped with one of the top sound systems in the country and crafted to stop people in their tracks, this ’69 Nova Restomod eager to make it back on the show circuit and amaze people around the country once again.

1948 Chrysler Town & Country Sedan • A CCCA Full Classic® • Fitted only with factory accessories • Quality craftsmanship evident throughout

• Marque specialist restoration • An ideal wood-bodied boulevard cruiser

carry passengers and their luggage where ever they needed to go. Intended plans for 1942 were to market an expanded line of Town & Country models, but with the onset of World War II those plans were put on hold. However, in the Spring of 1945, with victory in sight and while most other American car makers were only able to produce warmed over 1942 models, Chrysler

hen Chrysler first introduced the 1941 Town & Country, it caused quite a sensation in the automotive world. It was a bit lavish with fine exterior and interior woodwork. It was also quite stylish in that it was at home both in the city and in rural settings and was considered one of the most attractive vehicles of the day; it filled its utilitarian roles to a “T”, able to

moved forward on its idea of a new line with the Town & Country series. A total of five distinct body styles had been developed with four of them based on the senior New Yorker chassis, which included a Brougham two-door sedan, Club Coupe, open-top Roadster, and a handsome Convertible. Based on the lower priced Windsor chassis was an attractive four-door sedan which captured much of the utilitarian aspects of the original 1941 models. While prototypes for all five models were produced, only the New Yorker based convertible and Windsor sedan would make it to production. From 1946 to early 1949, the Chrysler lineup had minimal changes and during its three-year run, a total of just 3,994 Town & Country Sedans were produced. All Windsor models were based on a 121.5-inch wheelbase and powered by the proven Spitfire Six with a displacement of 250.6 cubic inches and rated at 114 horsepower. The Gyrol Fluid-Drive “semi-automatic” transmission handled the shifting duties as the motors rode on Chrysler’s exclusive Floating Power Engine Suspension system, providing a silky-smooth motoring experience. Each Town & Country sedan featured the finest products from skilled craftsmen trained in the arts of woodworking. Interiors were comfortable enough to accommodate a driver and five passengers with plenty of storage space in the rear luggage compartment, and for those extra bags, each sedan was fitted with a sturdy roof rack that had been designed and engineered for this specific duty. For the driver, all controls on the dashboard were easily accessible with large, simple to read gauges and accessible convenience controls.

During the immediate post-war years, inflation hit the auto industry with the 1946 introductory price for the Town & Country sedan jumping from $2,366 to $2,880 by the 1948 model year.

According to our consignor, this excellent example has been a part of his collection for over 25 years and was treated to a complete body-onthe-frame restoration sometime before the early 2000s. Used sparingly since its completion, today the odometer shows under 165 miles. In preparation for sale here at Worldwide Auctioneers, we were told the car was given an awakening with all systems gone through including fuel, cooling, brakes and electrical, ensuring the new owner of this car that it is turnkey ready for safe and reliable driving.

Accessories include push-button radio, heating and ventilation controls, plus a working clock. Wearing its original color of Polo Green, the finish glistens just as it did in 1948. Chrysler’s use of chrome trim was lavish, especially with the lifting of restrictions on critically needed materials for their brightwork and today this Town & Country sedan sparkles with a deep, pure reflective finish. The full wheel covers complement the 6.20” x 15” B. F. Goodrich Silvertown wide whitewall tires as this sedan sits perfectly level.

Due to the escalating cost of labor for those skilled workers tasked with creating these unique cars, the Town & Country wood bodies were discontinued at the end of the 1948 model year, never to be replicated in a production automobile. This example is as close to new as you could hope to find and offers a chance to carry on a tradition of elegance and style.

Coachwork by Ghia

• Previous ownership includes Chrysler collector Robert Frumkin for 20 years • A largely original example with just 33,000 miles from new

F

collectors, thanks to their rarity, impressive performance, unique Italian coachwork and scarcity to acquire.

1 of just 18 examples to be crafted from the Turin factory, this 1953 Chrysler Special Coupe by Ghia is a rare and seldom seen motor car with rich ownership history. Sold new in ’53 to famous jockey, Johnny Longden by France Motors in Paris, Mr. Longden would ship this example on the SS Liberte to his residential home in Arcadia, California, in September of that year. By the 1950s, this Ghia had

irst introduced to the world at the Paris Salon in October 1952, the Chrysler Special was a show car designed by Virgil Exner and constructed by Italian coachbuilder Ghia. Built on a New Yorker chassis and featuring smooth flowing body lines, the Special was well-received by the public, but the high-ups at Chrysler were hesitant. Chrysler export manager C.B. Thomas would eventually convince the board and it was approved for a very limited run of just 18 units in total. Today, Chrysler Special Ghia’s are cherished by

passed to a resident in the affluent neighborhood of San Marino, California. Under her ownership, this Special Coupe received supplemental bumpers to protect the hand formed front and rear body, which explains the holes present today. This Ghia would then find the home of well-known Chrysler collector and authority, Robert Frumkin of Los Angeles in the ‘60s. Mr. Frumkin would retain this wonderful example for two decades, during which he would receive a handwritten letter from original owner Johnny Longden, confirming the Ghia’s provenance, as well as its originality and color. In 1979, this example would trade hands for the last time to the current owner and be a welcomed edition to his own collection.

Finished in its original and elegant Dove Gray, this Ghia is believed to have received just one professional exterior respray since it was sold new in 1953. The chrome and stainless are original and show well for 71 years of age. The smooth and classic

Ghia body contours and lines are timeless and show well from all angles. Following suit to the exterior, the interior is also largely original, with comfortable maroon leather seats and presents quite nicely. The lifeline of this high society automobile is a Chrysler 331-cubic-inch Hemi V-8 engine that is mated to a Fluid-Matic automatic transmission that shifts smoothly. Currently equipped with a 1954 fourbarrel carburetor, this Ghia is accompanied by the original carburetor as well.

A significant automobile, cherished by the current owner for over 45 years, this 1953 Chrysler Special Coupe with Coachwork by Ghia, with its limited roster of owners, would make for a delightful addition to one’s collection. Known at the time of design as 'The Styling Special', it has become sought-after by collectors across the globe. This Special is highly authentic and accurately portrays the vision of its legendary creator, Virgil Exner.

• Originally designed for the Canadian Armed Forces in World War II • Twin-cylinder side-valve engine provides 75 mph top speed • Hand-operated gear shifter with foot-operated clutch • An iconic motorcycle in excellent condition

1942 Harley-Davidson WLC Motorcycle

P

rior to World War II, the Canadian Army, then known as the Canadian National Defense Force, purchased and used Norton, BSA, and Indian motorcycles to support their military endeavors.

Their preference was to use the same bikes as the British Army, their Commonwealth partner. As the war progressed, England simply did not have enough motorcycles to meet their needs, so Canada turned first to Indian, but unfortunately, Indian could only muster 640 Scout model bikes for export. Eventually, it was Harley-Davidson that was able to step up and provide the mobility that the troops deployed in Europe really needed.

During the gear-up to World War II, nearly 10,000 motorcycles were supplied to Britain by the U.S. under the “Lend-Lease” agreement of 1941, and most

were built by Harley-Davidson, like this WLC model, which was a variation of the commercial WLA model - the “C” indicating a bike modified and originally designed for the Canadian Army. War Office specs required light machines suitable for cross country use, and though the WLC was far heavier, weighing in at about 500 pounds, it provided a highly reliable engine and comfortable ride on long distance journeys. We are told most military riders had to be trained to use the hand-operated gear shifter and foot-operated clutch which were just the opposite set-up of most British bikes of the era.

WLCs did not receive a frame tag or frame number, so they are simply identified by the engine number embossed on the left side of the crankcase. This customized WLC was restored and built some years

ago and has been lightly used for many years. It retains the original 45-cubic-inch side-valve twin engine, first introduced in 1937, that has become a desirable component of most all customs built in the post-war era.

Flathead Harleys are an enduring and archetypal image of America, its motoring culture and freedom of the open road, and a real WLC, fully customized like this one, is an enduring symbol of the freedom Americans were fighting for during WWII. With plenty of power, excellent reliability, and many custom features, today you can enjoy the tradition and recognition of owning a motorcycle that embodies the motivation of freedom that literally helped win World War II.
