Preview (beginning of the article)
This was the third auction held by the fledgling Broad Arrow auction house. On November 18 and 19, 2022, 172 automobiles and nine motorcycles as well as a trailer were offered at "The Palm Beach Convention Center" in West Palm Beach (Florida). The vehicles had been estimated in advance at just over USD 24 million. Around a quarter of the lots were offered without a reserve price. With an average age of 44 years, the vehicles were relatively young. Just four pre-war vehicles were on offer, all of which were American makes. 42 vehicles, however, were from the new millennium. The two-day public event was somewhat reminiscent of Mecum auctions. The cars were driven up and then briefly introduced. The two auctioneers, who took turns, started with a base bid, but lowered it until a bidder bit. The numbers were then raised in the usual auction chant until no more bids were received. The two rounds lasted around 2.5 to 3 hours.
