Illustrating the continuing enthusiasm and interest in the collector car hobby, the overflowing auction room was standing room only for the duration of the event, with the auction line-up also attracting a large volume of internet and telephone bids. “The Amelia Island vintage car weekend is a permanent and popular fixture on the automotive calendar, and enjoyed national and international attendance,” said Ian Kelleher, President and Chief Operating Officer of RM Auctions. “Results from the Amelia Island event indicate the market remains stable for quality collector cars with continued passion for the hobby from around the world,” he added. Headlining the sale was a historic 1930 Duesenberg Model J Murphy Convertible Coupe achieving an impressive $1,072,500, and a multiple award-winning 1935 Auburn 851SC Boattail Speedster selling for $566,500.
