California’s vintage car extravaganza collectively known as Monterey is this weekend, and Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car editor Dave LaChance and I are planning to soak up of much of it as possible. One of our must-see stops is this year’s RM Auction at this location, which has expanded from its traditional two-day event to three days, with an auction catalog that includes no less than 224 vehicles. RM’s auction block will come alive on Thursday (August 12) – an evening devoted strictly to Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles; a total of 57 will be offered, including 18 concept cars (the sale proceeds of which helps fund the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and The Children’s Center) starting at 7 p.m. Below are just five of the 57 – RM’s full catalog can be found here.


Lot # 116: 1903 Ford Model A Rear Entry Tonneau


Lot # 101: 1935 Ford Model CX Saloon


Lot # 137: 1964 Cooper Ford “King Cobra” – one of several vintage racing vehicles to cross the block


Lot # 113: 1965 Shelby G.T. 350 fastback


Lot # 118: 2001 Ford F150 Lightning Rod Concept
