“The Old Car Heaven Museum Auction encompasses an eclectic assortment of automobiles from the early 1920’s to the late 1960’s”, said Rod Egan, Managing Partner and Chief Auctioneer. “Many are completely original and have been enjoyed from new, with little or no restorative work. Others have benefited from careful restoration.
There are many convertibles from all eras, as well as station wagons that are almost impossible to find in any condition today.
