Here are some interesting cars spotted today at the Mecum auction. If you have never been, it is much different than the botique auctions put on by RM, Gooding, and Broad Arrow. Much more like BJ. One good thing is the wide variety of cars. There is literally every kind of car you can think of.
One of my favorite cars n all the auctions was this 1934 Cadillac Aero Coupe V8. I have seen the V16 version but did not know they made a V8 version with the identical body. Hefty 400K plus estimate in largely original condition.
That is cool!
Famous 914-6 Porsche. If you are 914 guy then the 6 banger version is the one you want.
Mercedes Benz 500K Normal Roadster. Supercharged 5L straight 8 with overdrive 4th gear and good for 100mph in 1934. RHD drive car, otherwise I really want it. The red was not horrible and nice condition. 2 million plus estimate.
Interesting Nash Healy setup for racing.
I really like that. Also like that little red sports racer next to it. Can’t really tell what it is. Maybe an Elva or a Lola?
My guess is Elvira.
Duesenberg was restored by Byard Libbey who also restored my REO. I watched him put this car together over 10 years for Howard Faffard.
A.J., what is the body on this Model J? Looks like Lebaron?
7 passenger sport phaeton? I've never seen a body like that.
Howard Fafard took a regular DC Phaeton and stretched it so he could take his grand kids in the car. Howard passed before the car was finished. The body is in the style of Lebaron but is newly constructed.
XK150 Cabriolet. So roll up windows, and small back seat.
Custom Bronco with a 225k estimate.
Very nice Austin Healey 3000.
Graham Hollywood with the supecharged six high bid to 15k. Would make a fantastic parts car for my cabriolet restoration.
Geez, is that all those are bringing? Or was it a bit rougher than the photos indicate?
Nicest one in the world might bring 50k. This was not the nicest one in the world.
Crazy tear drop Delahaye with crazy estimate.
1934 Packard Super Eight Victoria with a bad color combo.
Inside the tent.
