Preview (beginning of the article)

Those responsible at Gooding & Company had every reason to be happy after two tough auction days. 89% of the vehicles had been sold, raising a total of USD 113 million. The Gooding people announced a total of 21 world sales records, including the USD 11,770,000 for the Mercedes-Benz 540 K Special Roadster and the USD 3,725,000 Jaguar C-Type from 1953. A slow start Initially, success at auction did not seem at all certain. The first vehicles found new owners at or just below the estimated prices. The bidders seemed to have to warm up first. It was only with the Duesenberg Model J Dual Cowl Phaeton "Blue J" that the bids shot up and the million mark was broken for the first time. But then the spell seemed to be broken and many offers easily reached their minimum bid.
