a most remarkable collection of classic cars, and 48 of them went to auction in Sept 2015, and resulted in 24 million dollars

the residence was once the summer house of the king of Denmark

this 1914 boat tail model by Schebera Coachbuilders is just one of the cars in the 24 million dollar collection of Mr. Henrik Frederiksen

Wilhlem Maybach started his career as an apprentice to Gottlieb Daimler. He is credited with several Mercedes innovations still in use, the radiator among them.

Maybach outlived Daimler and went on to build V12 dirigible engines for Count Zeppelin and, with his son, formed an autombile company after WWI.

In the 1930s Maybach, like Mercedes and Packard, offered more affordable models. The Maybach SW-38 was one of these cars. Its Spohn design gave true meaning to the term “fitted luggage”

a 1922 Labourdette Sliver Ghost, and I've never heard of Labourdette working up a silver ghost

why do I mention Labourdette like you should know what I'm talking about? Because of the incredible Mercedes that stick in my head, so unforgettable, http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/09/1912-mercedes-model-37-with-perfect.html  and the unreal 1939 Rolls Royce Phantom III Labourdette Vutotal which I bet you immediately see and think, oh hell, that stunning car

This makes me say god damn... how the hell anyone envisions this masterpiece, and then actually makes it happen, flawlessly, to plan... blows my tiny pea brain

So yeah, when I say Labourdette, I figure some of you readers will recall the stupendous cars I've shown you made by that French master carrossier 

Some carozzeria are like that to me, one example of their work just stands out of my memory bank of cars and smacks me in the brain like a basketball to the face. The Jonkheere Rolls is another example, and so is the Vanvooren name, see the next post
