The San Francisco Art Academy is auctioning its collection of classic cars, including rare and restored models such as the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing and the 1967 Volvo 1800 S.
The collection, which was put together by the late academy president, Richard A. Stephens, includes vehicles that represent both the art of classic car building, such as the 1934 Packard Twelve and the 1933 Chrysler Custom Imperial Phaeton, as well as more affordable models like the restored MGB GT Special.
The cars for sale range from historic to more modern models, with some high-value examples like the 1932 Marmon V-16 convertible and the 1937 Squire Corsica Drophead. There are also more unusual options, such as the Amphicar amphibious car and the Messerschmitt Kabinenroller.
The collection, which has already been opened to the public, will be restructured with a focus on more modern cars, especially models manufactured from 1960 onward, according to the current academy president, Elisa Stephens.
The auction also highlights the potential inclusion of high-quality Japanese models, based on the involvement of Tom Matano, the designer of the Miata and RX-7, who could bring these cars as part of the future of the collection.
The auction provides an opportunity to acquire cars that are true works of art, whether for their history or design, making it an excellent opportunity for enthusiasts and collectors.
