Auction house for classic cars RM Sotheby’s have released their picks for the 2023 Amelia Island Sale.

And it boasts prestigious vintage models, including a “disappearing top” Duesenberg, a 16-cylinder Cadillac and three rare Packards built by a Coach.

The collection of ten consists largely of pre-war classics, with Murphy’s award-winning 1931 Duesenberg Model J ‘Disappearing Top’ Convertible Coupe leading the private collection, which is valued at up to £3.6million.

Next up is LeBaron’s 1934 Packard Twelve Sport Coupe – one of four built on a shortened 136-inch wheelbase with twelve-cylinder power – which is set to sell for up to £2.4million.

Next is Fleetwood’s 1930 Cadillac V-16 Roadster, which was sold three years after its purchase during the Great Depression.

It has been carefully preserved by its second owner.

And the car was in a private collection for over 80 years before it was sold for a third time in 2014 and is expected to fetch up to £1.2million.

Another highlight of the auction is Waterhouse’s 1930 Packard 745 Deluxe Eight Convertible Victoria – one of just four examples of this model, set to sell for £369,000.

Other pre-war offerings from the collection include a 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Cabriolet B from Sindelfingen, a 1929 Bentley Tourer from Cadogan and a 1930 Packard 745 Deluxe Eight Convertible Victoria from Proux.

Three post-war offerings are also included – a 1953 Mercedes-Benz 300 S Roadster, a 1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I Drophead Coupé by James Young and a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTE 2+2 Series I by Pininfarina.

The auction, which will be the final sale on Amelia Island, is scheduled for March 4th.
