RM Auctions kicked off Monterey\u2019s classic car week at the Portola Hotel & Spa with the distinguished Nick Alexander Woodie Collection achieving in excess of $7 million in total sales.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThe four-hour auction attracted spirited bidding as 51 magnificent pre- and post-war Ford & Mercury wood-bodied station wagons crossed the block before a packed house. <\/p>\n

The top-seller of the night was a Dearborn award-winning 1946 Mercury Sportsman Convertible, the rarest Sportsman of all, which brought an impressive $368,500. Other highlights included an exceptionally rare 1948 Ford Super Deluxe Sportsman Convertible for $275,000, and a handsome, all-wheel-drive 1946 Ford Super Deluxe Station Wagon for $247,500.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe early interest and enthusiasm for this collection translated into a very successful auction,\u201d said Ian Kelleher, President and Chief Operating Officer of RM Auctions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe room was filled to capacity, with the sale of each lot celebrated by an enthusiastic crowd. The strong results of tonight\u2019s sale, reinforcing RM\u2019s strength in the presentation of single-owner collections, sets the tone for an exciting weekend ahead,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

One final car from the collection \u2013 a 1939 Ford Deluxe Station Wagon – will be sold as part of Saturday\u2019s auction line-up, with proceeds from its sale being donated by Nick Alexander to benefit the Midland School in Santa Barbara, California. This will be added to proceeds donated by RM from tonight\u2019s sale of a selection of large canvas reproductions of original photography depicting the histories of Ford, Mercury and the Iron Mountain Factories.<\/p>\n

RM\u2019s Monterey auction action will continue today and Saturday beginning at 6pm Pacific Time as a collection of other important and desirable collector cars cross the block, including a historic 1952 Jaguar C-Type<\/a> \u2013 expected to fetch in excess of $3,000,000.<\/p>\n

Official results will be posted online at www.rmauctions.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
