Headlining the sale, a 1911 Oldsmobile Limited 7-Passenger Touring, which was offered in remarkable timewarp original unrestored condition and believed to be one of only three known surviving examples, achieved a final sale price of $1.65 million.
As a prelude to the auction and to kick start meet festivities, RM joined forces with the AACA Museum on October 10 to host a gala 'Night at the Museum' fundraising event.
Car Crazy host Barry Meguiar, shared his 'Car Guy' stories and provided insight into the future of the collector car hobby. Following that, guest auctioneer Tom DuPont prompted attendees to bid generously on a number of donated automotive related lots.
With several hundred tickets sold, proceeds from the silent and live auction as well as several generous donations, the total amount raised to benefit the AACA Museum surpassed $150,000.

Following RM's Automobiles of London we recommend staying for the 2007 London to Brighton Veteran Car Run on November 4th. Held each year on the first Sunday of November, the Brighton Run pays tribute to the November 1896 raising of the speed limit for 'light locomotives' from 4 miles per hour to 14 miles per hour. Even though entrants are limited to vehicles beuilt before January 1st 1905, the Brighton Run now ranks as one of Britain's biggest motoring spectacles and attracts entrants from around the world.
