Auctions America’s 14th annual Fort Lauderdale

Auctions America returns to South Florida, April 1-3, for the company’s 14th annual Fort Lauderdale. Widely regarded not only as South Florida’s premier collector car auction, but also one of the area’s leading classic car shows, the spring event presents a wonderful showcase of automotive history and design for collectors and enthusiasts alike. This year’s event is set to present another 450 American classics, European sports cars, Detroit muscle, hot rods and customs, offering something for all automotive tastes and budgets.

Headline attractions for the April sale include:

1948 Tucker 48; a rolling symbol of the American Dream, just 51 Tuckers were built, making them a rare find at any auction. This historically-important example began life as the factory automatic transmission test chassis, and was later completed by several enthusiasts using sourced parts and patterns, resulting in a highly detailed and authentic restoration.

1931 Packard Deluxe Eight Convertible Coupe, a CCCA Full Classic, offered from its second long-term owner.

1929 Auburn 8-90 Cabriolet, presented in Black over Oxblood Red interior, and well accessorized with monogram drum headlights and matching cowllamps.

1935 Lincoln Model K V-12 Roadster by LeBaron, one of only 30 LeBaron Roadsters produced by Lincoln in 1935.
