Two days ago I presented the first part of my Top 40 picks based off the Barrett Jackson: Palm Beach Car Docket List. If you didn't get the opportunity to read my first post, allow me to introduce the basis behind this post.
April 11-13 are the dates for the second Barrett Jackson auction of the year. The first one was held in their flagship city of Scottsdale, Arizona. The second one is being held in Palm Beach, Florida. Although this auction is only three days, please do not assume that the selection isn't as great as Scottsdale. Originally I selected 65 cars, but I was forced to reduce it to 40. Here's the last part of my selection.
Occupying Lot 323.1 is a 1963 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible. Beautifully restored classic with 51,300 original miles. Red with red interior, canvas top, boot cover and wide white wall tires.
Parked in Lot 339 is a 1952 Ford Crestline Custom 2 Door Coupe. Rare and only one of one prototype CurveMaster built by Arthur Vogel. This particular Ford came from the factory as a twin to an identically prepared car as the test subjects in a series of safety experiments.
A famous star has Lot 347 reserved just for them. Star of the 2005 Dukes of Hazzard movie, a fully documented General Lee (1969 Dodge Charger) that is signed by the TV Show cast with a fresh drivetrain.
