This auction was November 21st - 23rd 2014. 

McCormick’s 57th Palm Springs Car Auction sets sales record at $7.7 million.

      Keith McCormick’s Palm Spring Collector Car Auction shattered all previous sales records, grossing $7.7 million in the Nov. 21-23 auction, the highest in the company’s 28-year history.

     Attendance also broke the record, said Keith McCormick, who said 428 cars were sold during the three-day event.

     “Counting Cars,” the TV series on the History Channel, filmed part of the auction with star Danny Koker bidding on cars. Koker’s father, also named Danny, purchased several exotic cars in previous auctions years ago, including the flatbed truck used by his son on the TV show today.

    Another high point of the auction was the appearance of Henrik Fisker, legendary auto designer of the Aston Martin DB9 and the BMW Z8 and other cars. He drove his own personal speedster, a highly modified 1972 Oldsmobile Toronado, through the auction tent. It sold for $30,450.

       Other notable cars included a 2005 Mercedes SLR McLaren, which sold for  $153,300; a 1956 Buick Road Master convertible, $76,125; a 1958 Mercedes 190sl roadster, $74,025, a 1956 Chevrolet BelAir convertible, $62,475; and a 1956 Volkswagen oval window Beetle, $25,200.
