Sold for: $3,740,000By: RM AuctionsWhen: Aug. 17, 2007Where: Monterey, Calif.This French car has a one-of-a-kind body. The car was presented at the Salon de Paris, the Paris auto show, in 1933, according to RM Auctions. The car could go from 0 to 60 mph in 15 seconds, which was faster than a supercharged Bentley of the era, the auction house said. Sports Car Market called it a “spectacular car with known ownership since new,” which adds greatly to the value.
Sold for: $4,400,000By: RM AuctionsWhen: Aug. 17, 2009Where: Monterey, Calif.This over-the-top car was a “Doozy for a Floozy”—at least, she played one in the movies. This Duesenberg was supposed to have been designed for Mae West, but she never took delivery. According to RM Auctions, this was one of only 36 cars supercharged by the factory. The passenger compartment is finished in an Art Deco design with burgundy upholstery.
Sold for: $4,510,000By: Gooding & Co.When: Aug. 18, 2009Where: Pebble Beach, Calif.This rare find is one out of only 43 remaining examples, out of 50 units of the so-called “Green Hornet,” according to Gooding & Co. It sold for just over $4.5 million last summer, despite what Sports Car Market described as a “leaky engine, ripped seat, faded paint, and ratty top.” However, such authentic touches in a rare model make it even more desirable than inauthentic restoration.
