The best result at Classic Motorcar Auctions' $1.7 million Grande Salon sale during the Glenmoor Gathering in Ohio was a restored 1937 Cord 812 Supercharged Phaeton, which sold for $150,000 on the hammer ($162k all in).
Close behind in the third running of the annual sale – in which 51% of lots found new homes – was the 1912 Ford Model T prototype six-cylinder Speedster that once belonged to Edsel Ford. It sold for $145,800.
A 1986 Ferrari Testarossa rounded out the top three with a final sale price of $65,380.
A memorabilia auction raised nearly $200k of the total, including $40,250 for a 1931 Stutz DV-32 dual overhead cam in-line eight with ancillaries and transmission.
"This year's Grande Salon Auction was the most successful event in company history, with a large crowd interested in the five different estates we offered and the many no-reserve vehicles crossing the auction block," said Bob Lichty, president of Classic Motorcar Auctions.
