Is it just us, or are wildly good restorations of De Sotos from the 1950s coming into serious vogue? We just saw a whole bunch of them at the Mecum Auction in Indianapolis, and now, here’s this shocker that’s been consigned to Leake’s forthcoming sale in Tulsa, Oklahoma, set for June 10-12. Specifically, it’s a 1956 De Soto Fireflite convertible, done up with a nut-and-bolt restoration, outfitted with good stuff like the Adventurer dual-quad package, Benrus steering-wheel clock and Columbia under-dash phonograph. Nice colors, don’t you think?
Then there’s this rarity. BMW produced only 10 examples of the M1 AHG supercar in 1982, most of which went to either F1 drivers or favored customers. Buyers could specify a full-custom paint scheme, as here. The Leake auction will be in the QuikTrip Center at Expo Square in Tulsa; learn more about the consignments at www.leakecar.com.
