Santa Monica, Calif., 26 August, 2018

Gooding & Company, the official auction house of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance®, realized $116,502,500 at the 15th annual Pebble Beach Auctions this weekend. During the two-day auction event, the company sold 123 of 147 lots, an 84% sales rate, with an average price of $947,175 per car. During the sale, an astonishing 25 lots sold above the $1 million mark and 23 world auction records were established. The star of the weekend’s auction action was the 1935 Duesenberg SSJ, which became the most valuable pre-war car ever sold at auction. The crowd erupted with applause after a rousing bidding war resulted in a realized price of $22 million. One of only two ever built, this is the first time an SSJ has crossed an auction block. This world record price illustrates the car’s historical significance and establishes a new company record for a single lot.

“We are thrilled to set so many new world records. The prices achieved reflect the winning combination of the highest quality and never previously offered motor cars for public sale, creating a huge demand,” states David Gooding, President and Founder of Gooding & Company. “The strength of the pre-war category was surely evident with our emerging collectors. They were drawn to the cars that they had never had an opportunity to bid on previously. Overall, this was a remarkable and historic sale!”
The marquee was packed, and viewers from over 60 nations tuned in via the company’s live HD webcast to watch spirited bidding overseen by renowned auctioneer Charlie Ross. As bidders competed for exceptional lots, Mr. Ross’ captivating style added to the dynamic auction room. Most notably the stunning 1955 Maserati A6GCS/53 Spider by Frua generated a world record price of $5,170,000. The impeccable 1959 Porsche 718 RSK garnered a world record price of $3,740,000, and the 2007 Porsche RS Spyder, the first RS Spyder to ever come to auction, realized a world record price of $4,510,000.
Exciting Ferraris continue to deliver exceptional results. The audience stood in honor of Admiral Robert Phillips as he took his last drive in his 1955 Ferrari 500 Mondial Series II after 58 years of ownership, delivering it to the auction block. After a lengthy bidding war, the French Racing Blue Ferrari sold for a world record price of $5,005,000. Gooding & Company’s selection of rare, coachbuilt Ferraris did not go unnoticed. The beautiful 1959 Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France Berlinetta sold for $6,600,000. The stunning 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC Speciale sold for a record price of $3,410,000, and the one-of-two 1966 Ferrari Dino Berlinetta GT sold for $3,080,000.
