America’s concours elegance season began in earnest with the Amelia Island Concours d’ Elegance this past weekend. There are some surprising results, including the Top 10 auction sales at the Concours.
Last year, Gooding & Company’s Amelia Island Auction led the pack with a 95% sell-through rate and 36 million dollars in sales over one afternoon. This year, they are hoping to beat those numbers with a 91 car lineup, 9 of which have 7-figure valuations.
In the past two decades, RM Sotheby’s has sold thousands of collectible cars alongside the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. This year, the old-timer is bringing a 10-car collection of “youngtimers”: the budding classics of the 80s, 90s, and early noughties.
Headlined by the Boulton Collection, an unparalleled array of prewar cars and motoring antiques, Bonhams leads Amelia Island in automotive diversity. Their docket ranges from a Lamborghini Diablo VT to an assortment of brass era speedometers.
Now in its 24th year, the Amelia Island Concours is welcoming over 300 vehicles to the gentle slopes of The Amelia Island Golf Course. Past Best-in-Show winners have distinguished titles like Duesenberg, Bugatti, and Ferrari.
The annual Scottsdale 2019 auctionpalooza came to a close on Sunday, with the seven auctions tallying $251m, the fourth highest take ever for these sales. Unsurprisingly, seven out of the top-10 sales for the week were Ferraris.
