 RM Auctions, the official auction house of the Concours d'Elegance of America, returns to the Inn at St. John's, July 28, 2012 for its firmly rooted Michigan sale. A featured attraction of the Concours weekend and a longstanding summer tradition for collectors, the single-day sale has established a reputation for offering outstanding American classics.
In 2011, the sale enjoyed a very positive response to its new venue at The Inn at St. John's, realizing more than $7.6 million in sales with 85 percent of all lots sold. Top sellers included a rare 1932 Packard Twin Six Individual Custom Convertible Sedan ($1,100,000); and a 1929 Duesenberg Model J Convertible Berline ($704,000).
The 2012 sale will once again celebrate the unique legacy of the Midwest's impact on the automobile, lifting the gavel on no less than 80 automobiles. Notable early entries include a stunning 1933 Duesenberg Model SJ Convertible Victoria, J272, featuring rare coachwork by Rollston; a desirable 1930 Packard 745 Convertible Victoria by Waterhouse; and a striking 2005 Ford GT boasting just 1300 miles.
