Hemmings Classic Car October 2017

“…it’s the cars themselves and their place in America’s automotive history that we are all really interested in learning more about.” Summer is the time when the Hemmings editors do their best imitation of squirrels.

Penn Station “OCTOBER” AND “PENNSYLVANIA” IS ALL A CLASSIC-CAR ENTHUSIAST NEEDS TO HEAR, AS THREE auctions will be taking place in the Keystone State around the time of Hershey. Bonhams will return to Philadelphia on October 2 at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum, with early consignments including a 1910 Regal Underslung and 1913 Stevens Duryea C-Six Touring. Also taking place on October 2, Morphy Auctions will feature automobilia, petroliana, and automobiles at its auction house in Denver, Pennsylvania. Of course, Hershey will have the RM Sotheby’s Auction, October 5-6 — coinciding with the AACA National Fall Meet — in which well over 100 cars are expected during the two-day sale. All three events are still accepting consignments. Visit www.bonhams.com, www.morphyauctions.com, and www.rmsothebys.com for more information. Branson Beauties THE BRANSON AUCTION…
