Gallery: 10 stunning entries for RM Manhattan
RM Auctions first auction at Sotheby's in Manhattan is called the 'Art of the Automobile' sale, and looking at the cars on offer, it's easy to see why the Canadian auction house would describe these lots in this way.
Top seller is sure to be the 1964 Ferrari 250LM, which is expected to fetch more than $12 million - but in today's record breaking climate, it could be a whole lot more. But let's not get fully consumed by values - these cars care beautiful, but would you describe them truly as objet d'art? We've assembled a gallery of 10, so you can decide for yourself.
1936 Delahaye Type 135 Competition Court Teardrop Coupé by Carrosserie Figoni et Falaschi
$3,000,000-4,000,000
A proper 1930s grand routiere. This car is one of three surviving Figoni short-chassis coupes, and typifies the glamorous 1930s perfectly. It features unique styling touches and competition-specification chassis, and was retained by the factory upon completion.
