I saw a lot of really cool cars at the Barrett-Jackson auction but the one I would have enjoyed taking for a spin was this 1949 Delahaye. I had never heard of this car company before Thursday but, have since learned that it was started in 1894 in Tours France.
This car sold on Saturday for a total of $1,210,000.00. I'd sure love to drive it around the block once but, I'm sure that will never happen.
News update: The Batmobile I pictured on Saturday sold for $4,200,000.00 plus a 10% commission for a grand total of $4,620,000. The buyer was a Phoenix collector so who knows, I might see it driving down the street one day.
I think this car has more engine space than passenger space.
ReplyDeletemine, too.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that's a lot of money for both cars.. I can see why this one is your favourite Sharon, the creamy colour is tres elegant oui!
ReplyDeleteI don't think we will see the Batmobile cruising around the Phoenix area. Although, we did have some bats in the sky visible from the backyard of our Scottsdale house at dusk last evening.
ReplyDeleteIt's a REAL beauty!
ReplyDeleteGrand!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
Splendid!
Can't quarrel with your choice here. Varooooooooom!
ReplyDeleteThe classic lines of this car will never go out of style. It looks more like a work of art that a car.
ReplyDeleteOh my.....people really drive these cars........??? Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
ReplyDeleteWow - I love the lines on this one!
ReplyDeleteThat's one auction I would love to attend. That's also the Batmobiles 2nd appearance there.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. Your full frontal shot is terrific!
ReplyDeleteI would be afraid to attend an auction like that. If I scratched my cheek I would have bought a million dollar car.
No wonder it's your favourite, it's just FANTASTIC!
ReplyDeleteAnd the kind said: My kingdom for a car. I guess man has always been suckers for modes of transportation.
