Summary

RM's sales event in Auburn (Indiana) on May 31 and June 1, 2019, showed that even in the USA, everyday auction life is not always easy. Just two thirds of the 275 car lots (including two trailers) were sold. On average, the highest bids were a third below expectations, but some lots were sold for even less. There were hardly any real highlights, rather solid American utility classics. Nevertheless, the AMC AMX was a surprise, achieving almost three times its estimate. This auction report analyzes the results and shows many of the vehicles in pictures.

The RM auction in Auburn (Indiana) on May 31 and June 1, 2019 showed that even in the USA, everyday auctioning is not always easy. 274 cars (including two trailers) with a value of USD 10.8 million (EUR 9.7 million, CHF 10.8 million) were offered over the two days. In total, around two thirds of these were sold. The highest bids were also on average two thirds of the estimated value.

The US manufacturers dominated, with Ford leading the way with 55 vehicles, Chevrolet with 44 cars, Packard with 20 (!) and Cadillac with 14.
