For RM/Sotheby's, it is an unusual auction that is organized every year in Hershey. Some models would hardly be offered at other RM auctions, but Hershey has a heart for American exotics with bread-and-butter flair. The event lasts two days and 113 automobiles go under the hammer, estimated at a total of USD 14.54 million (EUR 12.94 million, CHF 14.25 million).

An average of USD 128,646 (EUR 114,495 or CHF 126,073) is expected per car lot. 55 percent of the vehicles will be auctioned without a minimum bid, so bargains are possible.

American dominance

Vehicles from 45 different brands will be auctioned on October 6/7, 2016, with the usual suspects - Porsche, Mercedes-Benz or Jaguar, Ferrari is not represented at all - playing only a minor role. Over four-fifths of the cars are of American provenance! And on average, the cars are well over 50 years old, with well over half dating back to before or during the Second World War.

Here you will also find brands that are rarely seen elsewhere, such as Chalmers, Diamond, Hupmobile, Marmon, Maxwell, Mercer and Regal, to name just a few examples.

Noble classics too

For people with big wallets, there are also really expensive cars to buy in Hershey. The highest estimate was for a 1930 Duesenberg Model J with a dual-cowl phaeton body by Murphy; USD 1.6 to 2 million should be enough for a knockdown.

RM can also offer a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, a red model from 1957, which is said to be worth USD 900,000 to 1,100,000.

A few more American classics from Auburn, Pierce-Arrow, Packard and another Duesenberg round off the range of valuable cars in the upper price league.

British exotics

One of the cheapest ways to buy a car in Hershey is the British Morris Ten Series M Saloon from 1940.

The extremely advanced design with a self-supporting body is rarely seen today. However, anyone interested in this car will have to wait until the end of the auction and not spend their USD 12,000 to 16,000 beforehand, as the Morris will be the last car to go as lot 266.

Almost at the beginning, on the other hand, the Sunbeam Rapier Series IIIA comes under the hammer as a convertible from 1963. The elegant and compact blue convertible was estimated at USD 20,000 to 25,000, RM prices the car for the whole family.

The Sunbeam Alpine Series III with hardtop from 1963 offers a little less space but an even sportier look. The elegant convertible in red is described as very original and in good condition, so the USD 20,000 to 30,000 would certainly be fine.

Something special is also the MG TA 'Tickford' Drophead Coupe by Salmons & Sons from 1938, a rare body variant that is now being offered for USD 75,000 to 110,000.

Of course, there are also two Jaguar E-Types and an Austin-Healey. And for limousine lovers, there is also a Ford Zodiac!

Elegant convertibles from the USA

There is of course a wide range of magnificent American convertibles from the fifties and sixties, whether they are called Buick Limited Convertible, Cadillac Series 62 Convertible, Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible, Ford Thunderbird, Lincoln Premiere Convertible or Packard Caribbean Convertible.

There is something for almost every taste and prices are usually under USD 100,000.

Like something out of a movie

The vehicles that are mainly known from films (e.g. with Humphrey Bogart) are certainly also interesting, such as the Studebaker Dictator Coupe Custom from 1937, the Buick Roadmaster Sedanet from 1948 or the Cadillac Series 60 Special Sedan from 1941.

Prices are usually in the lower five-figure range and you can certainly cause a stir with these cars.

A Porsche Speedster found in a barn

The Porsche 356 A 1600 Speedster from 1957 was not actually stored in a barn, but rather in a garage. The car is said to be complete, but requires extensive restoration, which, together with the estimated value of USD 200,000 to 250,000, is certainly no longer a bargain, even though lot 140 will go under the hammer without a minimum bid.

As usual, the Hershey auction will mainly attract American bidders, so it will be interesting to see how the prices will settle here.
