On November 21st, RM Auctions together with Sotheby's will host the very exclusive Art of the Automobile sale. Only three dozen cars will cross the block and each of them is special. The catalog itself, with photography by Michael Furman, is already a work of art. Many of the consigned cars are absolutely unique like the Lincoln, Maserati and Duesenberg featured today.
The former was created by Boano for the 1955 Turin Motor Show and was dubbed the Indianapolis. The bright orange machine combines classic lines with futuristic cues like the faux exhausts on the flanks. Following its show duties, it was sold to the United States where in more recent years it was completely restored. This year, the Indianapolis won the Lincoln Trophy at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance where the manufacturer was the featured marque. The striking show car is estimated to change hands for $2 - $2.5 million.
Zagato was one of the most prominent coach-builders of the Maserati A6G range but only created one open example; this A6G/54 2000 Spyder. It was originally earmarked for Juan Peron but political unrest prevented the Argentinean president from taking delivery. The car was eventually sold to an American diplomat stationed in Paris. Now beautifully restored, the unique Zagato Spyder has been successfully shown at events on both sides of the Atlantic. It has an estimate of $3.5 - $4.5 million.
Walter Murphy built just eight 'Beverly' sedan bodies for Duesenberg chassis and this example is the only one fitted on a factory-equipped SJ. The 'Duesey' was restored by RM Restorations in 2008 and is now estimated to sell for $2 - $2.5 million.
