When 79-year-old Jim Collier was just 16, he was given a ’36 Ford — and that was the last Ford he ever owned. He actually became a Chevy man, and not a casual one by any stretch.
His desire for cars that were readily accessible, reliable, and something he could afford within a low-income town increased enough to grow a collection that he continued to enjoy for more than four decades. This collection has spanned an ownership of 60 cars Read More

Since that time Ari has been battling against the disease. She has been declared cancer Read More
Making it a night to remember, RM Sotheby’s shattered numerous world-record auction values at its 10th anniversary London sale on September 7, generating in excess of $29 million in sales. While a stunning 1960 Aston Martin DB4GT proved to be the night’s biggest seller, it is the game-changing prices achieved for some of the Porsches which will prove to be the sale’s most potent legacy.
The beautiful DB4GT is one of just 75 factory-built examples. Offered in wonderful, matching-numbers Read More
