HUGE car collection coming up at RM auctions

The death of John O'Quinn, car collector.

I can't believe this guy amassed so many cars in such a short period of time. Unfortunately, flooding the market with this many cars at once will most likely (as stated in the article) deflate collector car values even further.

Two dozen Duesenburgs!!

Now is the time BUY !!

It should be interesting to see how the Duesenbergs fare. I would bet that there has never been a time when 24 of them will be available at one time. RM is only selling 250 of his cars, he owned about a 900 so I would guess that some of the other auction companies will be selling off parts of his collection as well.

A nice '69 L88 Corvette slipped out of the collection about two weeks ago and ended up in private hands. They were selling some of the cars, but put a hold on all sales shortly after.
