This year\u2019s Monterey Historics weekend saw five separate auctions, spread over four days, sell an utterly astounding $100,370,000 worth of collector cars. Just to give the gravity of this sale some scale, if the five Monterey auctions were a country, they would rank 169th in the world for Gross National Product (GNP) ahead of the Marshall Islands and the Republic of Kiribati!<\/p>\n
