On May 30, 2015, a unique collection of American vehicles from the fifties and sixties will go under the hammer at the online auction house Auctionata. In American automotive history, this era is synonymous with rumbling engines, fins at the rear, gallons of displacement and chrome on every strip. With the "Classic Cars - Collection US Cars" auction, Auctionata is bringing the lifestyle of the Fifties and Sixties back to life.

Cars, gas pumps and a sofa

The auction comprises a total of 33 US cars and seven collectibles in keeping with the theme - three American petrol pumps and four sofas in the form of rear or front sections of US classics.

Ford Fairlane 500 from 1959

One of the auction's coveted road cruisers is a 1958 Ford Fairlane Skyliner.

The model on offer is a convertible and, with its panoramic windshield, rear fins and two-tone markings, corresponds to the "beauty ideal" of the time. The convertible's steel roof can be lowered electronically into the trunk. With this ingenious technology, the Fairlane was far ahead of its time. The starting price was 26,000 euros.

Cadillac De Ville Coupe from 1959

Of course, a Cadillac should not be missing from this auction - it is a 1959 Cadillac De Ville Coupe in pink that makes collectors' hearts beat faster.

Because probably no other car has shaped music and film history more than this vehicle. Sung about by Elvis Presley, Bruce Springsteen and Prince, the motif for countless album covers and source of inspiration for films ("Pink Cadillac" with Clint Eastwood), the car achieved cult status. The starting price in the auction is 20,000 euros.
