1969 Dodge Polara 500 Convertible - $9,350

The Dodge Polara was introduced for the 1960 model year as Dodge's top-of-the-line full-size car. For 1969, the Polara 500 was reintroduced as a mid-level car. Available powerplants included a slant 6 225ci, and 318, 383, and 440 V8 engines. The 1969 Dodge Polara models offered the Super-Lite option, which placed a quartz "turnpike beam" headlamp in the driver side grille. The Dodge Polara is best remembered as the top cop car of it's day. With lightweight unibody construction and a 440 under the hood, it was a match for most muscle cars.

573 Dodge Polara 500 Convertibles were built in 1969. This example appeared at Glendale 2020 and hammered for $9,350.

1934 Hispano Suiza J12 Vanvooren Cabriolet - $224k

1 of 120 Hispano Suiza J12s built between 1931 and 1938. Winner of the 2024 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Alec Ulmann Trophy for its elegant Vanvooren Cabriolet coachwork. Offered without reserve following serious fire damage in 2024.

Weeks after its second in class and trophy winning-performance, tragedy struck. While in an enclosed trailer a fire engulfed the Vanvooren Cabriolet. While what we see doesn't look like much, the car remains a heron-badged Hispano Suiza J12 and one with Vanvooren coachwork. Hispano Suiza J12 Cabriolet chassis number CH14019 was commissioned by industrialist Baron Jean Empain of Belgium, one of the world's wealthiest men during the Great Depression.

Originally a cabriolet bodied by Fernandez et Darrin, the chassis received its Vanvooren coachwork three years later.

Empain used the J12 for his travels between Europe and Africa. It was later seized by the Axis powers during World War II.

A full concours restoration began in 1998. The car was at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in 2013 and 2024, when it received the Alec Ulmann Trophy as “the car that best embodies the combination of excellence in performance and elegance in design."

Even in this too sad condition the icon made $224k against an unreserved estimate of $300k - $500k. Here.

1958 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series I by Pinin Farina

In March 1956 the coachbuilder Boano introduced a new open Ferrari built on the 250 GT platform. One year later Pinin Farina unveiled a more refined version. Pinin Farina used its initial design as the basis for a more formal series of luxurious cabriolets that featured wind-up windows and Borrani wire wheels. The coachwork remained unchanged through the production of 37 examples, though the last few were built with uncovered headlamps.

A total of 40 examples were built with 3 prototypes. Chassis no. 0913 GT is the 25th example built. While the bodywork was the same the interior details and trim were customized to order, and it is believed that no two were ever produced exactly alike. Exquisite in build quality and very rare, the first-series Pinin Farina cabriolets were built through 1959. These cars rarely change hands and are usually held long term by their owners for their collections. Very few ever become available through public sale. Immaculately maintained this example is what dreams are made of. The car high bid to $5.5m on January 17, 2020. Estimate was $6m to $7m.

Chassis number 0789 GT features some bespoke appointments like side vents, short “bumperettes,” and covered headlights. During its heyday, it was the most expensive Ferrari at $14,950. 0789 GT made $6.8m in 2019.

Auburn "Boattail" Speedster

Auburn was a brand name of American automobiles produced from 1900 through 1937. In 1926 Auburn partnered with Duesenberg Corporation, famous for its racing cars, and used it as the launching platform for a line of high-priced luxury vehicles, the Duesenberg Model J. In 1937, production of Auburns, along with that of Cords and Duesenbergs, ended.

The Auburn Speedster (1935–37), and the Cord 810/812 (1936–37) became famous for their advanced engineering as well as their striking appearance. The Auburn Boattail Speedster was powered by a 4.6L straight eight that, with the popular supercharger option (150 hp), could top 100 mph (160 km/h). The Depression, coupled with Cord's stock manipulations, spelled the end of the company and production ceased in 1937.

Boattail Auburns are some of the most beautiful cars ever made, but they were some of the fastest as well.

At a time when Cadillac was competing directly with Rolls-Royce and its most powerful engine managed 90 horses, the Auburn put out 115 and topped 100mph.

$725,000 - $875,000

851 Boattail Speedsters were made and today reproductions are very popular.

CSX3355. 1 of 260 street 427 Cobra Roadsters produced. 427 CI side oiler V-8 engine. 4-speed manual transmission. Bucket seats. Knock-off wheels. Billed to Shelby American on December 14, 1966.

Ford's legendary “side-oiler” 427 cubic inch V8, was rated at around 485 horsepower in S/C specification (considerably more than the 425-hp street versions). Period tests recorded a top speed of 185 mph and 0–100–0 mph in just over 13 seconds.

The Shelby 427 Cobra is one of the most iconic symbols of American sports cars. The most replicated car in history, this original won't be given away. At Mecum.
