1959 Austin Healey 100-6 BN6 Lot #507 (Sale Order 8 of 75) This is a rare find... An unadulterated, all original, 1959 Austin Healey 100-6 BN6. This vehicle still has the original carpeting, and the paint appears original as well. The only obvious modification is the addition of a new stainless steel exhaust system that is visible below the driver's side door. This is a fun car! Turn the key, push the start button and the engine fires up and runs smooth. The gearbox is smooth and shifts well through all the gears. The brakes are strong and have been recently serviced. Overall, this 1959 Austin Healey 100/6 is a great road vehicle. While it has not been licensed since 1978, it is obvious the previous owner took care of the car and exercised it with some regularity.

1941 Dodge Business Coupe Lot #508 (Sale Order 9 of 75) This top-of-the-line Dodge Business Coupe has all the drama and excitement of the year it was made. It definitely was designed for a young couple very much in love – or that lone-wolf salesman roaming from town to town. The cozy cab and curvaceous lines, accented by swooping fender guards and bumper guards, made it a very special ride indeed. With an inline six and a column-mounted manual three-speed transmission, the coupe was peppy and efficient back in the year when World War II came to America, and it remains so today. It’s ready for cars and coffee or Sunday drives – and is so original and well-preserved that it could readily be taken to the next level if the new owner so desires.

1959 Ford Meteor Country Sedan Family Wagon Lot #509 (Sale Order 10 of 75) From 1949-1961, Meteor was an auto marque, offered by Ford of Canada, to be sold by Lincoln Mercury dealerships. These Meteor vehicles were assembled from both Ford and Lincoln parts and shared several body designs throughout the years. This very original 1959 Meteor 9-passenger Country Sedan Wagon is based on its Ford twin, and has a very interesting history. As documented, this car was donated to the Harbor Island Yacht Club, in Canada, by Mr. Benson Ford (grandson of Henry Ford) in 1959. The resort used the wagon to shuttle the Ford family to and from the local airport. This vintage vehicle had an exterior restoration in approx. 1989 and shows very well. With that, the wagon shows some age here and there. While the stainless trim is solid, the bumpers could use some new chrome. The interior is highly original, yet the drivers seat basket weave is unraveling a little. Just some little things that come along with being 65-years old. On the flip-side, the odometer shows 30,833 and is believed to be correct due to the car's original purpose and that it has rested for many years. The undercarriage is solid, the engine runs well, and the car drives great. This 1959 Meteor Country Sedan Wagon is a driver quality car, not a show car. As it stands, it's a great investment. If somebody wants to make it an award winner, this vehicle will make a wonderful foundation for a restoration project.

1957 Mercedes Benz 220S Lot #511 (Sale Order 12 of 75) Mercedes Benz introduced the 220S Coupe in October of 1956, and produced just over 3400 coupes and convertibles (combined) through October, 1959. This 1957 220S 2-door is a rare find in this kind of condition. The beautiful tan leather and wood accent interior shows extremely well, and the black exterior finish is in great condition also. Check out all the bright chrome trim following almost every line on the body. This car comes out of the collection of Mercedes-Benz Master Mechanic, Siegfried Linke, and was the personal vehicle of Darlene Linke until her passing several years ago. The car has been off the road since then and remains as beautiful as she left it.

1923 Buick 23-45 Lot #512 (Sale Order 13 of 75) In 1923, Buick announced that its five-passenger touring car reaches the highest pinnacle of value that it has ever attained. Always mechanically fine, the marque’s catalogue continued, always positive in power and in action, this car may also be singled out for its beauty, its convenience or its comfort. One hundred and two years later, that’s still true. Cosmopolitan Motors is pleased to present a fine example of Buick’s Model 23-Six-45, featuring its original 242-cubic-inch straight six engine, which still provides plenty of power and runs very well. 1923 was a banner year for Buick. The cornerstone marque of General Motors offered Series 23 models in both four- and six-cylinder variants, with wheelbases from 109 to 124 inches, and prices from $865 to $2,200. They proved so popular that in 1923 Buick would turn out some 210,000 cars, including the one millionth Buick, completed March 21 of the year. Of Buick’s impressive ’23 array of 15 open and closed body styles, the six-cylinder five-passenger touring car was the most popular. This example is in very good condition, having been stored inside by its longtime owner and primarily driven at local shows and parades. The interior has two reupholstered, black leather bench seats, a beautiful wooden steering wheel, and black carpeting. The canvas top is in excellent condition and shows well. The exterior maroon and black catches – and pleases – the eye, particularly the beautiful, crowned fenders, a new feature in 1923. This elegant touring car has been loved by a large family, for many, many years, the current owner says. When her father, Dan was a young man, he developed a love for cars – and specifically, 1920s-vintage Buicks. He admired the valve-in-head design that became an early Buick trademark, producing power, endurance, long life and economy, as Buick proudly asserted. Being mechanically inclined, he started collecting parts and pieces of these cars with the intent of building his own. He would collect parts wherever he could find them. One day, he was out for a drive in Eastern Washington, passing wheatfields and farmhouses, when he spied some parts in a field that looked interesting. He pulled over to check them out. As he was looking around, the owner of the field came out to see what was up. They got to talking and Dan told him what he was looking for and what his plans were. The farmer told Dan he had something to show him. They made their way to a barn, which held this beautiful 1923 Buick in excellent condition. The car had belonged to the farmer’s father, who had died several years before. A sale ensued. Since that day, Dan would always bring the Buick Model 23-Six-45 out for family gatherings and weddings. He entered it in many parades and car shows (where it always won first prize) and was always happy to bring it out for show and tell, to anyone who wanted to see it. He was pleased to show off the large collection of trophies and ribbons he had collected. He was frequently known to drive it a couple miles to town to get the mail and just enjoy the feeling and history it provided. Dan passed away in 2011 at which time, his daughter Teresa bought the Buick from his estate, and to this day, she has maintained possession of it. Now, she has decided to let go of her father’s dream car. It has come time to pass the car along to allow someone else to love this beautiful vehicle and take it out for show and tell, Teresa says. I hope whoever gets the pleasure of owning this car next knows exactly what a treasure they have, and love and appreciate it as much as my family has. The voice of a Buick copy writer from 1923 echoes that sentiment through the mists of time: Riding in this Touring Car, you will be conscious of a new sense of ease. This sale offers an opportunity for you to experience the wonderful ease that Dan felt, driving to town, and to become the next steward of this magnificent Touring Car.

1963 Facel Vega Facel II Lot #513 (Sale Order 14 of 75) Facel Vega started designing the Facel II in 1959 and introduced the production version at the 1961 Paris Motor Show. The production lifespan lasted from 1962 to 1964, with approximately 180 examples of the Facel II built (26 with right hand drive). The Facel II was a GT (grand tourer) that was advertised by the company as 'Le Coupé 4-places le plus rapide du Monde' ('The Fastest 4-seater Coupé in the World'). Amazingly, with a 'dry' weight of two tons (4,145 lb), the potent 6.3-liter (383ci) Chrysler engines allowed for top speeds of over 135 mph, and with the four-speed gearbox, it could exceed 150 mph. In the manual transmission configuration, it could out-accelerate two-seat GTs such as the Aston Martin DB4, Ferrari 250 GT and 'gull-wing' Mercedes-Benz 300SL, to 60 mph and all except the Ferrari to 100 mph. This 1963 Facel II is a very nice example and shows very well. The design itself captures immediate attention but the smooth and polished red exterior paintwork captures it that much quicker. While the chrome is showing some age, all the metal trim is solid. The interior leather is beautiful, and the faux wood dash paint scheme is stunning and can fool the best. The engine and drivetrain operate well together, and this car needs very little to be back on the road. With only about 180 Facel IIs ever built, this is the perfect opportunity to snag a great deal on one of the most collectible, beautiful, and rare sports cars of all time.

1918 Buick E-35 Tourer Lot #514 (Sale Order 15 of 75) Buick was the initial auto manufacturer brought in to form the new General Motors group in 1908. Their 4-cyl., valve-in-head engine design was a great success and continued through 1915 when they introduced a 6-cyl. version. For 1918, they returned to a 170ci, 4-cyl. engine for the E series model line in order to compete in the entry level market. This 1918 Buick E-35 Tourer is a fine example of Buick design and longevity. The vehicle retains its great state through years of obvious meticulous care and maintenance. The body is in great condition with solid wood and paint that retains its luster. The seats, for being over 100 years old, are in great appearance. The rear seat is original, whole, and shows very well. Amazingly, our favorite upholstery guy, John Parkhurst, had held on to some century-old leather and restored the front seat cover, in splendid fashion, to closely match the rear. While he was at it, the door panels also received treatment to the remaining century-old leather material. All of it makes for a beautiful, upgraded interior. Overhead, the replacement canvas top is in fantastic condition also. Under the hood, the 170ci engine starts and runs and pushes power through a well-functioning transmission. The vehicle drives and steers well and the rear external drum brakes perform as designed. Overall, this 1918 Buick E-35 Tourer is a spry 106-year-old looking for a nice family to take good care of her and show her off in a parade or little town drives.

1960 AC Aceca Lot #515 (Sale Order 16 of 75) As a hardtop version of the AC Ace, the fastback-styled Aceca Coupe debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show in 1954. The Aceca's hatchback construction includes a hand-formed aluminum body surrounding a tubular steel framework. While the tubular chassis was more substantially built than the Ace's, the result was a lightweight, well-engineered, and extremely attractive GT car in the best AC tradition. The combination of a fine-handling chassis and a high power-to-weight ratio helped the Ace version to numerous successes in production sports car racing with, arguably, its finest achievement being the 1st-in-class (7th overall) finish at Le Mans in 1959. This rare 1960 AC Aceca Coupe is an exciting find recently out of 50-year ownership and has an extensive history file included. It was originally a white car but is currently blue with a tan interior. The alloy 6-cylinder AC engine is of correct vintage but is a non-matching numbers unit. When the previous owner bought the car in 1970, its original engine had already been replaced with a Ford 260ci V8. After a few years, he decided to source a proper AC 6-cylinder, and this is the engine that's currently in the car (CL 7 51 2315 WT). As an active member of the AC Owners Club, he maintained correspondence about the car throughout the years, and much of that is included also. The car has been resting for several decades and is now ready for an easy restoration. It comes complete, solid, straight, and intact.

1931 Cadillac 355A Convertible Coupe Lot #516 (Sale Order 17 of 75) A CCCA Full Classic. Formerly of the Don and Lynette Short Collection. Charming paint with natural wood spoke artillery wheels. A fun pre-war classic for driving enjoyment. In the early years of the Great Depression, Cadillac maintained its reputation of producing exquisite luxury automobiles encapsulated by their iconic slogan, "The Standard of the World." The new decade saw Cadillac's introduction of the all-new V-16, followed by the V-12 and improved V-8 chassis, offering a wide selection of performance, body styles, and price points for discerning buyers amidst economic turmoil. For 1931, the Series 355A V-8 chassis received a significant styling update. The new design embraced an elongated, lowered silhouette sitting on an impressive 134-inch chassis. Notably, the revisions also included an updated hood with five side vents in addition to one on the cowl, accentuating the hood length and the overall aesthetic of the car. Up front, a radiator stone guard sat behind a new single-bar bumper, flanked by dual horns and updated, slightly smaller headlights, all contributing to the modernized and elegant aesthetic of the vehicle. An impressive array of body styles was offered on the Series 355A V-8 chassis. General Motors' coachbuilding subsidiaries, Fisher and Fleetwood together offered no less than twelve individual styles to suit all buyers' needs and budgets. This example, Fleetwood's highly sought-after style #4535 2/4-Passenger Convertible Coupe, originally priced at $2,945, offers both style and practicality, providing the luxury of driving in all weather conditions, in closed comfort or fully open. The body follows the same lines as Cadillacs V-12 and V-16 offerings, a testament to its design and timeless appeal. Mechanically, the car now featured covered rear springs mounted below the frame rails for a cleaner look. The radiator being repositioned lower within the chassis and the introduction of a condenser tank improved cooling efficiency. Cadillac's "HC" high-compression V-8 engine was further refined, now featuring a new intake silencer and five-point engine mounts for improved ride quality and performance while retaining the 353-cubic-inch displacement and 95-horsepower output. Power was delivered to the rear wheels through a three-speed synchromesh transmission offered with options for various rear axle ratios. Once part of the Don and Lynette Short Collection, this car has received drivability and reliability improvements, having been fitted with a Cadillac carburetor switched to a downdraft-type, retaining the ability to revert to its original configuration for show purposes. Finished in cream with black fenders, chassis and moulding, the car's paint scheme is complemented by a tan convertible roof featuring polished landau bars. It rides on natural wood spoke artillery wheels with whitewall tires and a rear-mounted spare tire further enhances the car's elongated silhouette. Inside, rich red leather upholstery contrasts the exterior and extends to the rumble seat. The dashboard features Cadillac's revised oval instrument cluster, accented with wood-trim and gauges finished in black within. Interior durability was also improved with the introduction of metal floorboards. Revered for their design and driving excellence, Cadillac's Series 355A V-8 Convertible Coupes remain sought-after by classic car enthusiasts and collectors. This example represents an opportunity to own a piece of automotive history encapsulating an era when luxury, style and performance converged to offer the pinnacle of transportation and maintain Cadillac's reputation as "The Standard of the World."

1953 Nash-Healey Roadster Lot #517 (Sale Order 18 of 75) After a chance meeting in 1949 between Donald Healey (British engineer and race car driver) and George Mason (president of Nash-Kelvinator) onboard the RMS Queen Elizabeth, the Nash-Healey Roadster joint venture was born and would go on to produce the first post-war sports car from a major American automaker, beating the Corvette by two years. The first production model of the Nash-Healey Series 25 Roadster was debuted at the 1951 Chicago Auto Show. Production ran from 1951 to 1954 with a total of 506 vehicles built. In 1952, the body was redesigned by Battista Farina and production logistics were further complicated. Nash powertrain components were shipped from North America to England to be assembled into Healey chassis'. The rolling stock was then shipped to Pinin Farina in Italy to have the body mounted and final assembly completed. The vehicles were then exported back to Nash dealerships in America. By 1953, this production method resulted in a sticker price that was almost double that of Chevrolet's newly introduced Corvette. None the less, with Nash-Healey having great racing success at Le Mans, 1953 saw a new coupe introduced, and the Dual Jetfire engine became standard for production models. This engine's 252cid produced 140hp using twin Carter carburetors. This year also saw Nash Motors sponsoring golf tournaments and Sam Snead and his roadster were shown on the cover of Nash News. Celebrity use and product placement continued with Roadsters showing up in the Adventures of Superman, with George Reeves, as well as the movie, Sabrina with Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn. This 1953 Nash-Healey Roadster rolls on chassis number 2363 and is one of approximately 160 examples bodied by Pinin Farina that year. The body is finished in white over a red interior with a beige convertible top and side curtains. The car retains its numbers-matching engine block which is planned to be rebuilt as of this writing. Ranking as an impressive and historically noteworthy combination of British, Italian, and American flair, this exceedingly rare Nash-Healey creates an intriguing opportunity for its next loving caretaker. As an early and significant pioneer of trans-Atlantic cooperation, this 1953 Roadster is one of approximately 160 Nash-Healey's to feature Pinin Farina coachwork. Accompanied by its numbers-matching engine block, it is an ideal candidate for vintage racing, exhibition, or a combination of both.

1927 Lincoln Dietrich Convertible Coupe Lot #518 (Sale Order 19 of 75) Cosmopolitan Motors is proud to offer a very rare automobile with an aristocratic pedigree: A 1927 Lincoln Model L Convertible Coupe, custom-bodied by Dietrich. It is one of a very few known examples – 13 according to Lincoln registry records. It is, of course, a CCCA Full Classic. The Lincoln L was the first model Lincoln ever made. Its quality made the brand famous – and after a bankruptcy and subsequent purchase by Ford five years before this beauty was crafted, the L models only got better. As designer Ray Dietrich’s fame grew at the same time, the marriage of the redoubtable Lincoln chassis and motor with Dietrich’s coachwork produced spectacular results. A seafoam grey Dietrich-bodied Lincoln rumble seat convertible coupe won Dietrich the best of show at the 1927 Paris Salon, and a look at the lovely lines of this authentic example clearly shows why. It shows the Dietrich brilliance with a low accent line and sporty windshield and convertible top with elegant hinged – and still fully functional --Landau bars. Headed for the links? You’ll be glad to know the car has a golf-club door and storage area, as well as an elegant rumble seat. Amazingly, this beautiful survivor still features its magnificent original 358cid V8, as matching engine number and cowl tag demonstrate. And what an engine! The famed Lincoln fork and blade design, credited to company founder and engineering genius Henry Leland, featured a shared crankshaft bearing for each two connecting rods, meaning a short crank and compact design. With Dietrich on top and Leland below, engineering excellence was everywhere on the 1927 Lincoln. The V-8 has had recent repair and service by a Lincoln expert. The original updraft carburetor and accessories are included in the sale, but the car now runs on a downdraft Holley two-barrel carb. The striking 21-inch wheels are of a demountable rim design. When the rim is removed for tire repair or replacement, the spokes remain in place. The car’s rear spare carrier is mounted, but the spare demountable rim is absent. The very old tires should be replaced. Perhaps the most beautiful feature of the car is the driver’s aspect with spectacular steering wheel and striking dash, featuring an elegant Waltham clock and advanced instrument design. The doors and windows open and close nicely. This car is stunning in its originality. It has been treated well and faithfully, with some work yet to be done to bring it to the higher levels – but it is so complete and original that anyone desiring to create a masterpiece could not ask for a better place to begin. It could also be enjoyed with relatively minimal restoration – a running, driving roadster, as faithful and ready to serve as the trademark leaping greyhound on its radiator cap.

1957 18' Century Resorter Lot #519 (Sale Order 20 of 75) Founded in 1926 in Milwaukee, WI, the Century Boat Company (CEBC) soon moved to Manistee, Michigan where it grew into a leading nationwide builder of racing and pleasure boats through much of the 20th century. It was taken over by Yamaha in 1995, and sold in 2012 to Allcraft Marine of Florida. This 1957 Century Resorter 18 shows well and has been well cared for. It is powered by a 4-cylinder engine and comes with an EZ Loader trailer and boat cover.

1948 Packard Eight Woody Wagon Lot #520 (Sale Order 21 of 75) This 1948 Packard Woody Wagon is an extremely rare and sought-after car that's ready for straightforward recommissioning. Tan with brown interior. Just out of long-term ownership and storage, it's ready for cosmetic and mechanical refurbishment. It wears an old restoration that shows somewhat tired paint and chrome. The wood is in overall good condition and the interior would benefit from a high level detailing. Nice and straight body and structurally sound. Not currently running. 1948 saw the finalization of Packards post-war styling. This new look was highlighted by a smooth headlight to tail light treatment on the side panels with only the beltline ridge appearing to separate what could be considered the fender line. This free-flow styling as Packard called it, gave the new cars a striking, modern appearance. The front bumper was integrated into the grille and the well-appointed interiors featured large, comfortable seats while offering generous amounts of hood and leg room. In the 1948 brochure, Packard declared it the all-occasion beauty and comfort of a sedan, all the traditional utility of a station wagon along with new strength, streamlining, and proud distinction. This four door wagon was only offered for three years. Its ash panels, framed with birch, were largely decorative; indeed, the only structural woodwork on the otherwise steel-bodied vehicle was the tailgate, which pioneered the two-piece gate design that would become a feature of most American wagons by the mid-1950s. Power came from Packards smooth-running inline-eight engine. In total, just 3,885 examples of the Eight Station Sedan were built from 1948 through 1950, with the majority produced in 1948; few have survived to the present. Packard Woody Wagons are extremely rare and seldom come on the market. This is a great opportunity to acquire this rare and sought after model at a bargain price. This 1948 Packard Eight Station Sedan represents a rare offering from the twilight years of wood-trimmed wagon production. An elegant and unusual woody wagon design. One of only 3,885 produced, of which few survive. A dream come true for the Packard collector.

1958 Goliath 1100 Kombi Lot #521 (Sale Order 22 of 75) Beware -- many imitators. Accept no substitutes: Here's the original. To say the 1958 Goliath Kombi was ahead of is time is an understatement. This plucky little German family car was manufactured by Borgward, known for its engineering innovations. While this pocket-sized wagon was forward-engineered in many ways, including its 3-door body with easy cargo storage, the biggest innovation was its water-cooled "boxer" style flat 4 engine. While Porsche (and by extension Volkswagen) and quite a few others made air-cooled four-cylinder boxers (with horizontally opposed pistons which help to reduce vibration and minimize engine stress), Borgward's was the first engine of that type to be water-cooled. Many followed, perhaps most notably including Subaru. The Goliath 1100 was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1957. In 1959, Borgward dropped the Goliath name in favor of a prewar marque, Hansa. Thus the Goliath Kombi from 1958 is a rare car with a secure place in automotive history. This example is in fine running condition and presents very well.

1985 Ford Thunderbird Lot #522 (Sale Order 23 of 75) This one-owner 1985 Thunderbird spent its life on the south end of Mercer Island and has only 15k original miles!

All power options, great silver exterior with burgundy interior color combination, runs well and is ready for its next caretaker.

1971 Volkswagen Beetle Lot #523 (Sale Order 24 of 75) One of the most iconic and successful cars ever produced, the Volkswagen Type 1, aka Beetle, was produced for 65 years (1938-2003) with over 21.5 million made in factories around the world. It's distinctive shape endeared it to millions of people, and they are still a sought-after vehicle for young and old. This 1971 Volkswagen Beetle has been with the current owner for decades. As a former European auto mechanic, he cared for this car and maintained it very well. His connection to this Beetle is strong and emotional, but it is time for it to be treasured by a new owner. The 1971 Beetle saw many changes and was dubbed the Super Beetle in English speaking countries. Changes included a newly designed McPherson strut front suspension, dual-port heads, a longer wheelbase, and a larger trunk. The suspension improved handling and the new heads increased performance, albeit just slightly. The front suspension change and new truck design allowed for repositioning the spare tire to a lower, horizontal position, thus doubling the overall stowage capacity. This car is in great condition overall. The motor starts and runs strong, and the mated standard transaxle shifts smoothly into all the gears. The bright yellow paint work was applied about a decade ago and still shows well. The interior is clean and whole with no holes or tears. This vehicle is titled as a 1969 model year, but we believe this is a clerical error. This appears to be a 1971 Super Beetle build with the McPherson strut suspension.

1979 Maserati Khamsin 5-speed Lot #524 (Sale Order 25 of 75) The Khamsin was the first Bertone design created for Maserati. It was introduced at the 1973 Paris Motor Show with production starting in 1974. The Khamsin is named for a hot, violent Egyptian desert wind. This is a front-engine/rear-wheel drive Grand Touring (GT) vehicle powered by a 4.9L V8 engine fed by four two-barrel Weber carburetors. The undercarriage design includes fully independent suspension at all four corners. Maserati claimed a top speed of 170mph (270 kph). Through eight years of production from 1974 through 1982, there were only 435 Khamsins built. Of those, 155 were exported to the U.S. Due to NHTSA regulations, the taillights were not allowed to be mounted in the rear glass panel, thus making the U.S. vehicles an even rarer vehicle. This extremely original 1979 Maserati Khamsin is only 1 of 100 cars delivered to North America with a 5-speed manual gearbox and is a matching numbers example. A rare car already with only 435 built in total production, this Khamsin has been under the same ownership for the last 40 years and has been sitting for the last 10 years. It wears an extremely attractive original color combination, white with red leather interior. Finding a 5-speed Khamsin is almost impossible. This one is a highly collectible and desirable classic. Extremely rare 5-speed Khamsin (1 of 100 with a manual gearbox). Incredibly original and one of 435 Khamsins produced. Excellent color combination. Out of 40-year ownership.

1963 Studebaker Lark Wagonaire Regal Lot #526 (Sale Order 27 of 75) Claimed by many to be the first Cross-over vehicle, the Studebaker Wagonaire certainly crossed some design boundaries with the unique retractable roof. That feature was advertised as being able to carry a full-size refrigerator in an upright position... Picture that, if you will. This 1963 Studebaker Lark Wagonaire wears a Regal trim package and is a nice example of the first-year release. It shows a few signs of being 61 years old but still runs and drives very well. The V8 starts right up, and the transmission gladly delivers power to the drivetrain. These one-of-a-kind Wagonaires get attention wherever they go and are sure to start a conversation.

1973 Maserati Bora Lot #527 (Sale Order 28 of 75) Introduced at the 1971 Geneva Salon, the highlight of the show was undoubtedly the sensational new Maserati Bora. Named after the wind of Trieste, Italy, the Bora body design was the work of Giorgetto Giugiaro's ItalDesign. One of the first 'new generation' models to appear following Maserati's acquisition by Citro?n, the Bora used the latter's hydraulic technology to adjust seats and pedals, raise the headlamps and operate the excellent power-assisted brakes. The mid-mounted engine design was Maserati's first and included the familiar four-cam V8 in 4.7-litre or 4.9-litre form. The five-speed transaxle came from ZF, and the all-independent double-wishbone suspension was penned by Giulio Alfieri. A slippery shape plus 310bhp made for a very fast car - top speed was around 160mph - and the Bora had acceleration and handling to match. After being bought by De Tomaso in 1975, Maserati struggled, and the Bora was discontinued during 1978. A total of 564 Boras were produced, of which 275 were fitted with the 4.9-litre engine and the other 289 were fitted with the 4.7-litre engine. A rarity to begin with, there are very few of them left today. This 1973 Maserati Bora 4.7 Coupe is a highly original example ready for straightforward restoration. Finished in attractive Azurro Chiaro (light blue) metallic with tan leather interior, this highly sought-after Bora came out of long-term ownership and storage. It comes complete and is very straight and solid. The interior is currently being reupholstered to original condition but, otherwise, the car has never been restored. Be the first to have the privilege to do so. Well worth the minimal effort and with a lot of investment potential. A rare Italian thoroughbred, this exotic Maserati supercar is a suburb buy! Extremely desirable Maserati Bora. Left for many years in extended storage. Runs well but needs additional servicing. Desirable leather interior has recently had significant work. Hydraulics recently serviced and replaced.

NO RESERVE - 1976 GMC Motorhome Lot #528 (Sale Order 29 of 75) The GMC Motorhome was produced for model years 1973-1978 by the GMC Truck & Motor Division. They were the only complete motorhome built by a major auto manufacturer and came in 23 and 26 foot lengths. The entire vehicle was designed, engineered, and built by GMC with the front-wheel drive transaxle configuration being lifted from the Eldorado and Toronado cars, also produced by General Motors divisions. Through six model years, there were only 12,921 GMC Motorhomes produced. There are more than 8000 listed in an international registry, and estimates suggest only 3000-4000 original production vehicles are still in running condition. This 1976 GMC Motorhome remains in running condition. While it does need a little tlc, it runs and drives well and is a great foundation for a quick revamp or a complete restoration. The engine starts and runs, and the transmission operates through all gears to power the big shell down the road. The exterior is solid and shows well for almost 50 years old. Access panels for the Onan generator and propane tanks function properly, as do all the smaller access panels for water, AC power, holding tank, heater, fuel, etc. The interior was in the process of being remodeled when the owner decided it was one of too many projects he needed to clear from his list. With that said, the bath and rear bed area are whole; it's only the front living section that was being redone. That means there's an opportunity for a new owner to return it to stock or put their own creative touch in place. Many parts come with the package, including new flooring. It is a canvas waiting for an artist.

1957 BMW 501-6 Sedan Lot #529 (Sale Order 30 of 75) Introduced at the 1951 Frankfurt Motor Show, the BMW 501 was the German automaker's first all-new car produced in Bavaria following World War II. With its soft edges and curved shapes, the 501 earned the nickname baroque angel, due to the shared aesthetic qualities with the artistic movement. A lavishly appointed four-door saloon with a luxurious interior. Under the hood, a newly developed overhead-valve 2.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine bearing the internal code M337 fed 64 horsepower into a four-speed manual transmission.

Just out of a large collection, it's been in storage and requires mechanical recommissioning prior to use. A very attractive car wearing a mellowed restoration.

Restored example of BMW's first postwar luxury sedan. A rare car presented in a striking color combination. Fine example of BMW's lavish and luxurious baroque angel,j ust out of a large collection. Excellent candidate for showing at events.

1938 Cadillac Series 90 V-16 Lot #533 (Sale Order 34 of 75) This highly sought-after 1938 Cadillac V16 Town Car is just out of a large collection and an original model that's been well maintained and runs great. Black with black leather front and beige cloth rear interior. An extremely special and collectible car. Cadillac's V16 engine was designed to be silent and smooth, suiting the '30s luxury car buyer. In 1937, Cadillac wanted to come out with a new super engine that would outshine the roughness of the popular V8s. Only 514 of these V16 engines were produced with a very few fitted into the limousine chassis. With twelve styles offered in this series, and only 315 automobiles produced in 1938, this towncar is reputedly one of only eleven produced. This rare and stylish Cadillac Towncar was purchased by a California film studio and was supposedly used by Hollywood luminary and producer, Darryl F. Zanuck. An American film producer and studio executive; he earlier contributed stories for films starting in the silent era. Best known as a co-founder of 20th Century Fox. He also produced three films that won the Academy Award for Best Picture. The series 38-90 was essentially a series 75 with a V16 engine. The V16s were recognizably different from their predecessor V8s because of the slanted eggcrate grille, fender lamps, louvers on the hood and full fender skirts. The L-head, short-stroke, V16 engine was cast enbloc - essentially a twin-eight with dual accessories including carburetors, air cleaners, manifolds, distributors, coils, fuel pumps and water pumps. Naturally the Town Car is highly eligible for Classic Car Club caravan events. Engine: V16 at 135 degrees, 431ci., 185bhp at 3,600rpm; Gearbox: three-speed manual; Suspension: independent front, semi-elliptic rear leaf springs; Brakes: four wheel drum. Left hand drive. Used by Hollywood luminary and producer, Darryl F. Zanuck. One of 514 of these V16 engines produced and one of very few fitted into the limousine chassis. With twelve styles offered in this series, and only 315 automobiles produced in 1938, this towncar is reputedly one of only eleven produced. Just out of a large collection. Highly eligible for Classic Car Club caravan events.

1957 Lancia Aurelia B20 Coupe Lot #534 (Sale Order 35 of 75) Many classic automobiles evoke strong emotion – admiration, nostalgia, even whimsy. The Lancia Aurelia, more than 70 years since it was introduced, inspires reverence. The Aurelia is widely recognized as one of the most groundbreaking cars in history, and the B20 GT coupe is the most storied variant. Of the first seven cars across the finish line in the 1951 Mille Miglia, three of them were B20s – one of them second overall, just behind a Ferrari with nearly twice the displacement and ahead of several others. The B20s were built for performance. Featuring the breakthrough aluminum V-6 – the first production V6 in any car – and ingeniously engineered for optimal weight distribution, they were absolutely born to run. This 1957 B20 is an example from the model’s sixth and final series. It has some engineering refinements and some subtle design touches that certainly don’t get in the way of the simplicity of the gorgeous Ghia design but add cosmetic beauty – like the understated but elegant chrome strip down the center of the hood. This car is stunningly original and complete. The simple, driver-oriented interior is dressed neatly in black leather. Trunk and engine compartment are clean and correct. The car, after lengthy storage, will require some mechanical reconditioning, but that pioneering V6 is running fine. This is an excellent chance to acquire a rare, important, incredibly enjoyable automobile that will always be something truly special.

1929 Packard 640 Custom Eight Phaeton Lot #535 (Sale Order 36 of 75) Here is the ultimate in rarity, a meticulously restored prewar Packard that is the only known example of its configuration: A 1929 640 Custom Eight Phaeton. The more time you spend with this magnificent automobile, the more you will appreciate its design and engineering. Power comes, quietly and plentifully, from Packard’s 105-horsepower 384 cubic-inch inline eight-cylinder, recognized as one of the finest engines of its era. This Packard 640 was restored in 2017 by noted Packard specialist Gene O'Hara, and the quality of that work shines through everywhere you look. The engine compartment is perfectly detailed and utterly authentic, as is the interior, which delights the senses with every correct detail looking as fresh as the day this ultra-rare car left the East Grand Boulevard factory 96 years ago. The fine black leather upholstery is trimmed with red piping, neatly matching the exterior’s deep-red paint with black fenders and accents. Door panels, trim, carpets, glass and interior hardware are perfect. Perhaps most impressive is the beautiful dashboard woodwork that houses exquisite instrumentation. It is equipped with color-matched artillery-style wheels, rear footrests, dual side-mounted spares, cowl lights, wind wings and the Goddess of Speed mascot. This famous Packard was acquired post-restoration by Clive and Janet Cussler. Janet Cussler fondly recalls an auctioneer who was taking her bids making the pronouncement, A woman can never own too many Packards. She said, I took a cue from Marilyn Monroe that a woman can’t have too many diamonds and decided to agree with him. This CCCA Full Classic was invited to and shown at the 2018 Concours d’Elegance of Texas. It offers many more Concours appearances, tours and days of quiet enjoyment for its next proud owner.

NO RESERVE - 1987 International Offshore Racing Sailboat - Victory Lot #536 (Sale Order 37 of 75) The Sailboat Victory (aka Jameson Whiskey). Victory is a 1987 International Offshore Racing (IOR) Sailboat, 1-Ton class. She is 40 feet overall with a waterline length a bit less than 34 feet. She is 13 feet at the beam, drafts about 7 feet, and weighs 10,000 pounds empty. She has an elliptical keel that is very narrow, like a dagger board. Victory has a fractional rig. The mast top is 64 feet above the water and the boom is 20 feet long. Victory’s hull is a multi-sandwich construction composite. The outer hull is 8mm of vinyl followed by 20mm Kevlar foam and Kevlar honeycomb followed by a carbon fiber laminate inner hull. The keel box is constructed from aircraft aluminum and extends from the mast to the propeller shaft strut. All areas of the keel box that touch the hull have a layer of Kevlar laminate between carbon fiber and aluminum. All of the stanchions and tiller are titanium. The standing rigging is discontinuous alloy solid rods. The running rigging and life lines are Amsteel. Victory can go to weather better than any boat I’ve sailed or crewed on. I have been able to put the boat on a plane going to weather with tatty storm sails. There are some tips I have and modifications I was going to make to take advantage of Victory’s sailing characteristics (learned through sailing and talking to Ed Dubois). I spoke to Ed Dubois a couple of times about Jameson Whiskey’s design. He mentioned a couple design elements he thought would provide better performance than what occurred at the Admirals Cup. Full Pelt did great. Victory is a Documented Vessel with the Department of Homeland Security, United States Coast Guard, National Vessel Documentation Center (you still have to register her at your port of call).A little history about Victory (aka Jameson Whiskey est. 1780): Victory’s Naval Architech was Ed Dubois and she was built at his Yachtyard near Cowes Isle of Wight as Victory. A deal was struck and the buyer agreed to a deep discount to have it designed as a one ton IOR sailboat for the Irish entries in the 1987 Admirals Cup and Fastnet Race. It raced as Jameson Whiskey with its sister ship Full Pelt Irish Independent and another Irish boat, Turkish Delight (it floundered and nearly sank). Full Pelt did very well winning the Fastnet overall but the combined scores of all three did not allow them to place. Jameson Whiskey was placed on a container ship and taken to San Francisco. She was renamed and documented at the National Vessel Documentation Center as Victory. In San Francisco, Victory only had moderate success. I feel a wing keel may have been replaced with the elliptical keel during this time.Years later it was purchased with a loan, moved to LA and later it was moved to Encenada. The later move was a dark period for Victory south of the border that ended with some brave repo crew snatching it back to Newport, CA. The bank that held the loan and ownership decided, after attempts to sell it, that they did not want to be in boat sales so they wrote it off and donated it to the Angel Care Children’s Fund. In Des Moines I changed out the cutlass bearing and stuffing box, did some work I was in San Diego just looking at boats in the Bay Club Marina and America’s Cup Harbor when I ran into a former Americas Cup crewman Vic MacQuade who was a boat broker and told him I was looking for an old warhorse that I could convert into a fast passage cruiser. He showed me a couple of old IOR 1-ton boats in San Diego but they been poorly maintained and poorly modified. He said he had one he had just been told about in Newport and it would only take a couple of hours to travel there and back. I had to tell him that I was in San Diego for my anniversary and would be having dinner with my wife that night and returning home to Seattle in the morning. I followed with I sure wish it had been in San Diego it seems like what I was looking for. A few weeks later Vic rang up and said he had moved the Victory to San Diego and did I want to look at. I reminded him I was in Seattle and told him I would call him back. (please read the rest of the story at LuckyOldCar.com)

1979 Plymouth Arrow Pickup Lot #537 (Sale Order 38 of 75) Ordered new with the Sport package and in Spitfire Orange, this Plymouth Arrow came from a family where it has been owned since day one. Originally a Sweet 16 present for their daughter, this truck has been looked after throughout the last 46 years and it shows. This truck has 117k original miles, a 105hp 2.6 liter Mitsubishi engine and 5 speed manual transmission. This truck starts, shifts and stops well. Largely original condition and the bed looks like it never hauled a thing! This is a rare truck in its own right, especially with a five speed and the Sport GT appearance package. Don’t miss the chance at a truck no one else will have! A little history on these trucks…. Between 1979 and 1982, Chrysler sold Mitsubishi Triton pickup trucks as the Dodge Ram 50 and the Plymouth Arrow. The Plymouth Arrow pickup trucks were offered with a range of inline four engines, and were no longer sold in North America after 1982. Chrysler wasn't the first Detroit outfit to turn to Japan for a compact truck. The Isuzu-developed Chevrolet LUV had been around since 1972, while Ford introduced the Mazda-based Courier in 1973. Mopar, which was playing catch with its rivals, introduced the Dodge D-50 and Plymouth Arrow Pickup in 1979. The Arrow Pickup was very competitive on paper. It featured a 6.5-foot-long (two-meter-long) bed and a 1,400-pound (635-kg) payload rating. Its Mitsubishi-sourced four-cylinder engines, a 2.0- and a 2.6-liter, generated 93 and 105 horsepower, respectively. It had enough grunt to outgun the Chevrolet LUV and Ford Courier, which barely hit 80 horsepower at the time.

Pride of craftsmanship and ownership shine through in this vehicle.

1970 Ford Torino GT Convertible Lot #545 (Sale Order 46 of 75) This beautiful 1970 Ford Torino GT Convertible had been resting in a friends garage, for a decade or two, in southern California. The owner finally convinced his friend to part with the vehicle thinking he could fix it up quickly and have a nice ride to roll in. While the car "looked" beautiful, the "new owner" quickly discovered how much his "friend" had not let be known. Nothing major was wrong, but a lot of little things were preventing the "quick" from happening. Most of the issues were electrically related and, after a bit of hair-pulling, the owner got the wipers, windows, top, lights, A/C, and assorted other items all functioning properly again. Now, this healthy, numbers-matching, Ford Torino runs as good as it looks. As per the videos, the engine runs very well and sounds fantastic. The red exterior is very attractive and is highlighted with a black convertible top. The white interior is whole and trimmed in black. The car is solid with no outward signs of corrosion. The car comes with the original window sticker and a Marti report, shown in the gallery, identifying the car's build history. Many other service records are included with the car as well as several extra parts. This 1970 Torino GT Convertible looks and sounds great and has those good ol' Ford ponies at the ready for the next owner. Haggerty has these cars valued in the $30K-$40K range and they have brought $60K+ when fully restored. Don't miss this opportunity. Numbers-Matching Proper model with correct date code engine Includes window sticker build sheet Includes Marti report Dyno test results Must see dyno test vids

1932 Chevrolet Holden Phaeton Lot #565 (Sale Order 64 of 75) This very nice example is rumored to have come stateside as a thank you gift for Cloisione badges provided to an Austrailian Collector by a Seattle manufacturer. In the current owners care since the early 90's, the car was completely cosmetically restored in a body off restoration. There is no bondo anywhere on the car, it was a very solid car to start with, and the metal craftsman that performed the work did not believe in using body filler. The Paint, Interior, and Top were all replaced at that time, and the chassis was restored, but the car really needed very little mechanical work to speak of. Recently, the generator was rebuilt, and a new battery fitted. The car starts right up, runs smoothly, shifts and stops well and could be confidently driven cross country. This car needs nothing really but a happy new owner. This is a very rare car stateside, but with a ready availability of spares owning to its domestically produced Chevrolet Chassis. We have many more photographs of this car, please click on any image to be taken to our full-size image list! In 1852, James Alexander Holden emigrated to South Australia from Walsall, England and in 1856 established J.A. Holden & Co, a saddlery business in Adelaide. In 1885, German-born H. A. Frost joined the business as a junior partner and J.A. Holden & Co became Holden & Frost Ltd. Edward Holden, James' grandson, joined the firm in 1905 with an interest in automobiles.From there, the firm evolved through various partnerships and, in 1908, Holden & Frost moved into the business of minor repairs to car upholstery. The company began to produce complete motorcycle sidecar bodies in 1913, and Edward experimented with fitting bodies to different types of carriages. After 1917, wartime trade restrictions led the company to start full-scale production of vehicle body shells. J.A. Holden founded a new company in 1919, Holden's Motor Body Builders Ltd (HMBB) specialising in car bodies and utilising a facility on King William Street in Adelaide. By 1923, HMBB were producing 12,000 units per year. HMBB was the first company to assemble bodies for Ford Motor Company of Australia until its Geelong plant was completed.From 1924, HMBB became the exclusive supplier of car bodies for GM in Australia, with manufacturing taking place at the new Woodville plant.These bodies were made to suit a number of chassis imported from manufacturers such as Chevrolet and Dodge. In 1926 General Motors (Australia) was established with assembly plants at Newstead, Queensland; Marrickville, New South Wales; City Road, Melbourne; Birkenhead, South Australia; and Cottesloe, Western Australia utilising bodies produced by Holden Motor Body Builders and imported complete knock down (CKD) chassis. In 1930 alone, the still independent Woodville plant built bodies for Austin, Chrysler, DeSoto, Morris, Hillman, Humber, Hupmobile and Willys-Overland as well GM cars. The last of this line of business was the assembly of Hillman Minx sedans in 1948.The Great Depression led to a substantial downturn in production by Holden, from 34,000 units annually in 1930 to just 1,651 units one year later.In 1931 General Motors purchased Holden Motor Body Builders and merged it with General Motors (Australia) Pty Ltd to form General Motors-Holden's Ltd (GM-H). Throughout the 1920s Holden also supplied tramcars to the Melbourne & Metropolitan Tramways Board, of which several examples have been preserved in both Australia and New Zealand. Although Holden's involvement in exports has fluctuated since the 1950s, the declining sales of large cars in Australia led the company to look to international markets to increase profitability. Since 2010 Holden has incurred losses due to the strong Australian dollar, and government grants have been reduced.This led to the announcement on 11 December 2013 that Holden will cease vehicle and engine production by the end of 2017, however, the company will continue to have a large and ongoing presence in Australia importing and selling cars as national sales company. Holden will retain their design centre, but with reduced staffing. Description images and copy © Significant Cars, Inc.

1961 Wolseley 1500 Mark II Saloon Lot #570 (Sale Order 68 of 75) The Wolseley 1500 was introduced at the London Motor Show in April 1957. Mark II production began in May 1960 and featured a lower front suspension compared with the Mark I. The Mark II also featured updated chrome steel beltline trim as well as hidden hood and trunk hinges. The saloon bodywork was built by Fisher & Ludlow of Birmingham, England. This 1961 Wolseley 1500 Mark II saloon is a right-hand-drive model that was imported to the US prior to 2010. Cream colored painted wheels with chrome hubcaps are shod with Kumho Solus HP4 Plus tires. Braking is provided by hydraulic drums at all four corners. Highlights include chrome bumpers and brightwork, a hood ornament, and fender-mounted mirrors. The front seats and rear bench seat are adorned in burgundy upholstery that color-coordinates with the dash pad, door panels, and carpeting. The wood dashboard includes dual gloveboxes, an under-dash storage shelf, a heater, and a Radiomobile radio. The banjo-style steering wheel fronts Smiths instrumentation that includes a combination oil temp fuel gauge and a 100-mph speedometer. The 1,489cc engine features an SU carburetor and was factory rated at 43 horsepower. Recent service includes a valve adjustment and a new fan belt. Compression test results are shown in the photos. The mated four-speed manual transmission functions normally. These Wolseley 1500 MkII's are rather eclectic little cars and are rare to find. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own one.

1968 MGB Roadster Mark II Lot #571 (Sale Order 69 of 75) Introduced in 1962 to replace the MGA, the MGB continued production until 1980. Several variants were available including 2+2 and GT models with four, six, and eight-cylinder engines. The MGB was one of the first vehicles designed with a crumple zone safety feature. A 1968 MGB is one of the best years to own or collect. Several serious upgrades prompted MG to declare the model year a Mark II. Changes included a fully synchronized 4-speed gear box, an alternator, and a negative earth electrical system. This year also retained the beautiful, dainty chrome bumpers. Later models were plagued with U.S. D.O.T. guidelines, including rubber bumpers, a raised stature, and emissions equipment. This example is one of the most sporting and desirable of the whole series. The previous owner of this 1968 MGB Roadster was an avid collector of MGs and often seen at Kitsap County, and other local, auto events. His cars reflected his character and quality, and both are shown in this car. This car starts, runs, and drives very well. The red paint job is more recent and shows nicely. The interior is whole with no rips or tears. This is a road-ready vehicle for the new owner. NOTE: These early photos show the old, damaged dashboard cushion that has been replaced, and the bare top cage, which now sports a new top.

1989 Suzuki Swift Gti Lot #572 (Sale Order 70 of 75) After withering sales with the name Forsa, Suzuki changed the vehicle's name to Swift in 1989. The Swift GTi was the top-of-the-line version with updated engine and rear suspension. Due to a lawsuit with Volkswagen of America over their GTI name, Suzuki settled out-of-court, and dropped the i in 1990. That makes the Suzuki Swift GTi a one-year-only car even though the design was carried through several years. This 1989 Suzuki Swift GTi is in good condition. It is a strong runner, and, with today’s fuel costs, sips gas like its motorcycle cousins yet can move more than two people around with ease. Great for those quick jaunts to the store, too.

1929 Chrysler Series 75 Dual Cowl Phaeton Lot #574 (Sale Order 72 of 75) This magnificent Chrysler has only grown more beautiful in the 96 years following its manufacture. The Dual Cowl Phaeton, a rare and desirable design, has always been a favorite among collectors of the marque and the era.
What today’s observer might not realize at first is that along with the pleasing design and sumptuous luxury came lasting technological advancement and hard-nosed engineering quality.
The Series 75 Chryslers featured an 80-horsepower, 248-cubic-inch six-cylinder engine, as advanced as any on offer across the industry. And they had grit aplenty: A Series 75 roadster rode the very same engine to sixth place overall at the 24 Hours of LeMans in 1929.
This example has proved its staying power in even more impressive fashion – by lasting nearly a century, looking as good now as it did coming out of the Chrysler factory on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit. Indeed, it is one of only a dozen known survivors of the 248-car dual-cowl phaeton 1929 production run.
This car has been completely restored, dressed in pleasing mint green and dark green two-tone livery. It’s lavishly equipped with dual-mounted spare wheels adorned with sideview mirrors, dual cowl-mounted lights, wire wheels, diamond step plates, snap-on side curtains, and a trunk rack fitted with a beautiful artificial alligator-skin trunk. Recent improvements include chrome replating and a carburetor rebuild.
