Bonhams, Gooding and Company, and RM Sotheby’s offered an impressive assortment of autos across the Monterey Peninsula. However the weekend was not without drama. Whether it was the auctioneer’s accent or a confusion on the electronic price signboard, one car soared—albeit briefly—to an unimagined price range. And then it didn’t.
As always, with our reports, the prices we list are those before fees and are confirmed on the website www.hammerprice.com.
