Check out the most highly anticipated cars at the RM Sotheby’s Auction this year, hand-picked for you by industry professionals. Includes Modern, Classic, and even Prewar cars.
Nearly five decades after their joint venture produced offspring, Ferrari was “spun off” from Fiat to raise cash for the latter. The resulting car, arguably one of the most beautiful Pininfarina designs and arguably one of Ferrari’s best sports cars, carried only “Dino” badges from the factory.
We attracted a spectacular group of rare cars this year, cars that you’d be fortunate to see at an international concours, let alone driving 1100 miles in four days. Among the stand-outs were the 1952 Cunningham C3 Coupe of Chuck Schoendorf & Pat Lee and the 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing of Robert & Beryle Slayden.
The Cortile Italian car show is one of 16 car shows taking place on Saturday during the nation’s largest vintage race event, the Pittsburg Historic Grand Prix. Of the 16, the Cortile certainly has the most flair.
The 2017 Ford GT is a close sibling to the car that won at Le Mans this year. From its carbon fiber tub and bodywork to pushrod suspension, the Ford GT leaves no doubt about its track lineage. The design, while thoroughly modern in terms of aerodynamic science, draws a stylistic line back to the 1966 Le Mans winner.
Since 1923, Le Mans has been one leg of the Triple Crown of Motorsport, a twenty-four hour test of endurance and efficiency. The cars that have made the podium in this fabled race have become icons like the Ford GT40 and Porsche 917. Since 2002, the Le Mans Classic has accompanied the modern race and allowed vintage competitors to assay the 8.5 mile Circuit de la Sarthe once again.
The Going-To-The-Sun Road is a 50-mile stretch of alpine pavement that traverses Glacier National Park in Montana. Named after the park’s Going-To-The-Sun Mountain, sections of the road are cut into the mountainsides, featuring tunnels and craggy overhangs.
There are few better ways to celebrate the birth of the United States than with a car show, and there’s no better time than a long weekend at the peak of the summer. Whether you prefer the raw muscle of a Ford GT or the svelte lines of a Ferrari 250 GT/L, the freedom of the open road has long been a hallmark of the American ethos.
When you say “Speedster” in the same sentence as “Porsche,” it’s usually assumed you are speaking about the stripped-down 1954-1958 variant of the 356. Capitalizing on the power of its own heritage – and the power of nostalgia – Porsche also built three different production 911 Speedsters, the most plentiful being the 1989 model. All have become desirable collectibles.
