Hershey Classic Car Auction
Published September 11th, 2008
To be held October 10th at Hershey Lodge, the single-day event will again coincide with the AACA Eastern Division Fall Meet to provide a memorable vintage car weekend for motoring enthusiasts.
Early consignments for the auction include a number of ‘old masters’ of the car world, with over 100 vintage motor cars spanning back to the pioneering days of the American automotive industry set to cross the block.
The star attraction of the event will be a stunning 1933 Duesenberg La Grande Phaeton, considered one of the rarest and most desirable of the open bodied Duesenbergs. Born supercharged with just a handful of owners and a continuous history from new – including some time in the hands of a prominent Mexican businessman – this magnificent example has been in the same hands for the last 25 years. Its offering in Hershey presents an exclusive opportunity for acquisition. (Est. $1,800,000 – $2,400,000).
Joining the Duesenberg on the block are a number of other luxury prewar cars including: a rare 1934 Pierce-Arrow V12 Town Car; a 1938 Packard Twelve Series 1608 Collapsible Touring Cabriolet by Brunn; and a fully restored 1913 Locomobile Model M-48-3 Four-Passenger Baby Tonneau.
Additional consignments include:
A rare 1940 Buick Limited Model 81C Fastback Convertible Phaeton, one of only fourteen documented examples in existence.
A pair or early Northern Runabouts – one from 1903 and one from 1904.
An historic 1932 Ford Five-Window Coupe, reportedly once owned by the Former President of Mexico, Roque González Garza.
An authentic, race-bodied 1910 Buick Model 10 Speedster.
An ultra-rare 1914 Kissel Model 40 Touring, believed to be the only surviving example.
