There once was a time when it was possible to buy a truly American-made car. While those days may be gone, fortunately many of the cars are still around. In just one week, RM Auctions will be in Arizona to offer over 140 collector cars at the beautiful Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa, and the line-up includes a number of American Classics. Headlining these U.S.-built classics is ACD-certified 1930 Duesenberg Model J LWB Dual Cowl Phaeton with coachwork by LeBaron, the only long-wheelbase example built.
Lincoln will be well represented by a 1934 Lincoln Model KB Convertible Roadster, a rare LeBaron semi-custom offered from the Karl Blade Collection, as well as Lincoln Model K Double Windshield Phaeton by Brunn, Lincoln’s 1932 show car and a double Pebble Beach award winner with a one-off, very sporting design.
Fans of Cadillac will surely be impressed by fully restored 1933 Cadillac V-12 Rumble Seat Coupe, while Chrysler aficionados will have their eyes on the 1931 Chrysler CG Imperial Convertible Victoria – one of three in existence – with Waterhouse coachwork and three owners from new (including single-family ownership for 70 years).
Finally, perhaps representing the pinnacle of Classic Era design and engineering, this one-off 1931 Marmon Sixteen Convertible Coupe by LeBaron will also be offered, featuring known history from new and multiple class wins thanks to its painstaking restoration.
The complete line-up of motor cars to be offered at Arizona can be viewed online, with full catalogue descriptions and photography.
