BOONE, Iowa (AP) — The family of a central Iowa car collector is auctioning off dozens of antique vehicles he purchased over at least six decades.
Grant Quam had amassed 85 antique cars by the time he died in 2007 at age 91.
The Des Moines Register (http://dmreg.co/1NM4Slp ) reports that his collection is among the most unusual and eclectic in Iowa.
Quam’s children will auction off 54 cars Saturday, some of which could go for as much as $250,000, at the Central Iowa Expo Center in Boone. The auction is expected to draw car enthusiasts from across the country and world.
Among the cars for sale are a 1911 Overland Model 51 four-door Touring, a 1918 Peerless four-door Limo and a 1929 Oldsmobile Landau four-door Sedan.
