An exciting headliner at the 2018 Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Auction, April 12-15 at the South Florida Fairgrounds, will be 140-plus remarkable vehicles from the collection of businessman and philanthropist John Staluppi.
Staluppi, also known for his empire of auto dealerships and collection of superyachts, has been a car collector for decades. The selection of vehicles headed to the Palm Beach Auction – currently housed in Staluppi’s North Palm Beach Cars of Dreams Museum – represent nearly a century of American automotive design. The diverse group, all of which will be selling at No Reserve, are predominantly convertibles from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, along with custom vehicles and Resto-Mods.
