The auction house auctionata no longer needs to be explained to anyone interested in cars, as several auctions have already been successfully held in Berlin. For auction number 245 on May 30, 2015, however, auctionata has come up with something new, offering exclusively American cars and a few matching garage accessories in the form of gas pumps and sofas.

32 American classics

These are exclusively post-war vehicles built between 1948 and 1976, with the majority dating from the 1950s. Together, the 32 cars represent a value of around 1.1 million euros or 1.15 million Swiss francs. An average of just under 35,000 euros (CHF 36,000) per car is therefore expected, although the downward swings (minimum 15,000 euros, maximum 65,000 euros) are small.

Rarities instead of super classics

The Chevrolet Corvette C1, C2 or Ford Mustang usually found at US car auctions are missing, but a Corvette C3 convertible saves the honor of the American sports car.

On offer, on the other hand, are vehicles that are not so common in this country. As a result, four DeSoto vehicles are coming under the hammer, three as Firedome variants and one as a Fireflite. One is even equipped with the famous HEMI engine.

Rarely seen in our latitudes are also various Buick and Oldsmobile models. The Cadillac and Ford Thunderbird models on offer are popular and can often be seen at US meetings.

Fuel pumps and sofas

The 32 vehicles are complemented by a series of decorative gas pumps and special sofas in US design, which would certainly look good in many a garage next to the American classic car. The estimated prices for these decorative elements are in the low four-figure range.

Bids can be submitted online, by telephone or by pre-bid on May 30, 2015 from 18:00. On-site participation is also possible. And, of course, the vehicles can also be viewed in advance.

More information and valuation reports on all the vehicles on offer can be found on the auctionata website.
