The oldest car in the sale also has its roots in early motorsport. The 1917 Packard 2-25 Twin Six Runabout is an evocative example of how cars shed weight with lean, sporting bodies in order to make them faster and more competitive. Modified in period, this classic ‘Runabout’ style American icon, will offer huge fun to its new owner (Est: $140,000-$160,000). The newest car to feature in the sale is another American icon, a 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2LT Coupe, the latest incarnation of the breed and the first to feature a mid-mounted 6.2 litre V-8 engine (Est: $110,000-$125,000)
