Car auctions at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance set new records over the weekend of August 18 and 19.
The major auction houses sold off a number of highly valuable models, setting new world records as they went. The new record for the most ever spent on an American car at an auction went to a 1968 FordGT40 Gulf/Mirage Lightweight that sold for $11m. The car is one of only two that exist in the world today.
Other sales that broke records for the models concerned included a 1953 Bentley Continental R-Type Fasback Sports Saloon that sold for $1.6m, and a 1960 Aston Martin DB4GT that sold for $2m.
