In all, an impressive 76 percent of vehicles, both 2- and 4-wheel, were successfully sold. “Strong bidding from buyers in the audience and via telephone from around the world resulted in the following highlights: *The ultra stylish 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham previously owned by crooner *Frank Sinatra was bought for $122,500. *Two Rolls-Royces, a 1964 Silver Cloud Drophead Coupe and 1929 Phantom II Dual *Cowl Touring, sold for $172,000 and $111,150, respectively.

This year, strength in the market was seen for celebrity–related cars and motorcycles from McQueen and Sinatra and the sale drew international interest from Europe, Asia and Canada as well as national attention from the Northeast and Midwest.”Sorry, these aren't the motorcycles you are looking for...Carlo DelibertoGETTING TOO OLD TO KEEP 30+ MAINLY BRITISH MOTORCYCLES, SOME JAP.
