Two very different auctions and a car corral offer three opportunities to take home vintage metal. The most prestigious auction of G. Potter King’s Atlantic City Collectible Cars Event is its Classics at the Borgata event, held Feb. 28 at the Borgata Hotel, Casino and Spa. Here, rarities and high-end cars are the rule of the evening.

John Chiara of G. Potter King has lined up such cars as a 1912 White, 1991 GMC Syclone, 1956 Lincoln Premiere and 1972 Olds 4-4-2 for this event.
