Museum-Quality American Muscle Cars Head To Auction



But if outright performance isn’t your thing, a handful of stylish boulevard bruisers are also heading to the auction block. Finished in a beautiful shade called Indian Turquoise, this Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie Skyliner, like the Camaro above, is also a numbers matching car out of the same collection. Known as the first car in the world to feature an automatic retractable hardtop roof, it’s a great piece of history for any collector of American automotive history.

Rival brand Chevrolet also knew a thing or two about beautiful convertibles. Two examples, a 1955 Bel Air and 1958 Impala, will also be made available. The ’55 Bel Air is painted in Gypsy Red and features over 35 factory options, including power seats and windows. The Rio Red Impala, with its 315-hp engine and Powerglide automatic transmission, has factory air-conditioning and was restored to like-new condition. Both will be sold with no reserve.
