“We are very proud of the significant consignments that we have put together for our second annual October Fall Auction,” Alex Dragone said in a news release. “As we continue to hold our auctions we continue to outdo ourselves in every auction getting better and more significant cars each time. We manage to unearth very significant cars that even our larger competitors could not fathom.

“We are now able to present two auctions a year without compromising the quality of the vehicles presented.”
