On August 1st, 2013, Auctions America will be offering a 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster that was originally purchased by TV legend Desi Arnaz as a gift for fellow actor Robert Stack in celebration of his winning an Emmy Award for Best Actor in The Untouchables. The car is almost in its original state and includes the original hardtop and leather interior. This piece of pop culture history will be presented for sale to the public for the first time in over 50 years.
There will be many more collectible cars up for auction during Auctions America’s debut California sale, including a 1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona, a 1968 Porsche 911 Soft Window Targa and a 1994 Jaguar XJ220.
This will definitely be an exciting event to attend if you’re in the Southern California area. You can also watch live television coverage of the auction on NBC Sports Network on August 2nd from 7-9 pm and August 3rd from 1-5 pm EDT.
