Gun Permits Law: A Register Investigation
The Register on Tuesday concluded a three-part investigative series about Iowas two-year-old law that restricts a sheriffs ability to deny permits to carry guns and other weapons in public.
99.6 PERCENT OF APPLICATIONS APPROVED: See the Registers exclusive county-by-county data on gun permits, learn about problems Iowa sheriffs have found with the law and watch video interviews with Iowans who have fought to get permits. Also, click on our interactive Iowa map that shows the percentage of residents in each county who have permits to carry weapons.
REACTION FROM LAWMAKERS: Despite public safety warnings from sheriffs across the state, theres little chance the Iowa Legislature this year will revise a law that has resulted in more than 148,000 Iowans being granted weapons permits in the past two years.
RECORDS DESTROYED: Two Iowa counties are destroying the applications used to determine whether a permit to carry a weapon is granted. One sheriffs official said his department doesnt want to be responsible for the public record. Read why public record advocates and some state officials say those actions are ill advised.
Whats a shall issue law?
Iowa is one of at least 35 so-called shall issue states, a term used to describe laws that prohibit authorities from denying applications based on what some people describe as nebulous criteria. Iowa lawmakers passed the shall issue law in 2010, and it went into effect on Jan. 1, 2011. In 1981 only two states, Maine and Washington, fell under that umbrella, according to information from the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, based in California.
The apparent shootout that left one man dead and three North Liberty police officers injured Sunday illustrates the dangerous inflexibility of Iowas law granting permits to carry guns in public, Johnson County Sheriff Lonny Pulkrabek said Tuesday.
Many Iowa sheriffs contend they need more discretion to deny carry permits to people with histories of mental health issues or who have committed violent acts that dont result in criminal convictions.
The man at the center of Sundays incident, University of Iowa graduate student Taleb Hussein Yousef Salameh, had not applied for a permit to carry a gun. But he had been under the care of a psychologist, had been involved in an altercation and was convicted of drunken driving and lesser offenses.
Had Salameh requested a carry permit, Pulkrabek said current Iowa law would have forced him to grant it.
I think this can be used as an example of why the carry permit law should be changed, Pulkrabek said.
Gun permits: Read the full investigation, find out about county sheriffs' worries, meet Iowans who have been denied or approved to carry, explore a map of permits issued by Iowa county and see a primer on Iowa's weapons laws.
Lawmakers who would oversee changes to the law have said they dont foresee taking action this year.
The lawmakers are going to say they have a lot of other important things on their plates, Pulkrabek said. I cant disagree (that lawmakers are busy), but I think many, many Iowans arent even paying attention to weapons issues, and then a case like this comes up.
Salameh, 28, shot and injured the three officers at his home at a mobile home court in North Liberty following what neighbors described as a domestic confrontation. Salameh died at the scene. The officers were treated and released at a local hospital.
University official voiced reservations
Salameh first applied for a permit to acquire a weapon, which has different criteria than a carry permit, in Johnson County on Feb. 10, 2010. The university, in response to his application, exchanged information with Sheriff Pulkrabek. Dean of Students David Grady noted Salamehs involvement in previous assaults and told the sheriff, I have serious reservations about Mr. Salamehs intention to purchase a handgun.
Pulkrabek, in response, placed the permit application on hold until he obtained a letter from Salamehs psychologist.
The letter, obtained Tuesday by the Register through a public records request, was signed by Dr. Gregory Gullickson, a licensed psychologist in Iowa City, who said Salameh did not show any signs of impulse or substance abuse problems.
Although the incident that led him to treatment was an altercation in which he struck another person, at no time during his treatment with me has he shown any indication that he poses any threat to anyone, Gullickson wrote in that letter.
Salameh was issued his first permit to acquire a weapon on June 28, 2010. It was renewed the next year.
Iowa for years has followed state and federal laws that outline specific criteria detailing when people can be denied permits to acquire weapons. Sheriffs must issue those permits with few exceptions, such as felony convictions.
Iowa law, however, allowed sheriffs much more discretion in denying permits to carry a weapon in public. That changed on Jan. 1, 2011, when the Iowa Legislature limited denials in most instances to specific criteria. The law is known as shall issue legislation.
Online court records show Salameh has been arrested several times for various offenses, including disorderly conduct, public intoxication and driving drunk, all before he was issued the permit to acquire a weapon.
Additionally, on Feb. 11, a woman filed a petition for relief from domestic abuse against Salameh. Generally, when such a petition is filed, a person is not allowed to possess or carry firearms. However, before a Feb. 22 hearing, the woman asked for the order to be dismissed, which was granted. Had the case proceeded and a judge issued a formal no-contact order, Salameh likely would have been required to turn over all guns, Pulkrabek said.
Wake-up call or a red herring?
Pulkrabek defends his earlier decisions to approve Salameh for permits to acquire guns. Salameh didnt have the specific criminal history that could halt the application, Pulkrabek said. The sheriff also believes the right to have a gun to protect ones home is constitutionally protected. However, he also believes the right to carry a weapon in public should come with stronger safeguards.
Reaction to Pulkrabeks statements and the information about Salamehs history was mixed.
Sen. Jack Hatch, D-Des Moines, said the situation shows that Iowa needs more accountability in how permits are issued and maintained.
This is an example of where we have more work to do before more people get hurt and more people die, Hatch said.
Rep. Clel Baudler, a former state trooper, questioned whether Salameh should ever have been issued a permit to acquire a weapon at all, noting his history of assault.
I dont have all the facts, but to use this to say the law we passed in 2010 would have prevented this if the sheriff hadnt issued him a permit? Thats off base, in my opinion, Baudler said.
People in the United States with permits to carry weapons have killed at least 14 law enforcement officers and 485 private citizens since May 2007, according to a review of news reports conducted by the Violence Policy Center, a national education foundation based in Washington, D.C.
The typical citizen has little idea how dangerous the shall issue legislation is, said Laura Cutilletta, an attorney for the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Before Sunday, Salameh legally could have obtained a permit to carry a weapon in public, despite the concerns expressed by public officials, she said.
Jeff Burkett, president of the Iowa Firearms Coalition, views the right to carry weapons as part of Second Amendment rights. Using the Salameh case to discuss permits to carry weapons is unfair because he never applied for a permit to carry in public, and the shooting didnt happen in a public place, Burkett said.
My question is why are we looking at a situation and then turning around and asking, What if he had a permit to carry? Burkett said. It seems to me we are trying to connect dots between circumstances in order for sheriffs to underscore their point of having lost the ability to deny permits.
Burkett added: My question back to people right now is: Show me the problem with the current permit system.

Top Ten Irritations for Customers who Call for Tech Support
Consumer blog

Top Ten Irritations for Customers who Call for Tech Support
During the last 20 year,the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has implemented a number of rules that regulate the outbound calling area. These regulations were strongly opposed by the folks that were doing the outbound calling. They whined like stuck pigs, claiming that these regulations would destroy the industry and cause millions of jobs to be lost. All of this effort was a huge waste of time. The FTC listened to the complaints of the consumers, the proposed regulations prevailed and life went on.
We now are witnessing the first legislation that is addressing the consumer complaints that have been building against inbound calling. It is just a matter of time before we see Federal rule-making by the FTC that supports inbound calling laws.
If legislation is inevitable, would it not make sense to attempt to achieve laws that are reasonable to implement and yet address the complaints of the callers/consumers? This would seem to be a much more appropriate approach than to simply fight the regulations (and end up losing anyway).
The only way to avoid onerous and draconian inbound regulation is to put together regulations/standards that eliminate the irritation that callers are experiencing on inbound calls. Just what are the things that irritate callers the most. Most of the really serious caller irritants have to do with the IVR system.
Following are the ten items that consumers want the most and not providing them is a major irritant:
1. Don't make it difficult to connect to a human.
2. Don't disconnect on errors-- connect to a human.
3. Provide humans that I can understand and that don't have heavy accents.
4. Don't waste my time and confuse me with verbose prompts.
5. Do not advertise to me.
6. If I have to wait in a queue for a human, tell me what the wait time will be.
7. If I provide information to the IVR, don't ask me to repeat it to the human.
8. Don't attempt to entertain me with a persona.
9. Ask me occasionally what I think of your service.
10. Provide the option to call me back.
The graph shown above summarizes the results of a survey that gethuman did in September, 2006 of approximately 4,500 consumers. Some of the items are more in demand than others. It needs to be recognized, though, that even the least in demand item had over 90% of the consumers wanting it. None of these are unreasonable demands. Many of them are trivial to implement. Providing them will lead to consumers that find self-service easy to use and providing a quick-and-easy experience. If the FTC is guided by feedback from consumers, then it should be apparent what the inbound regulations will look like.

Archive for the 'Bonhams' tag
New Jersey estate auction to offer pair of pre-Model T Fords at no reserve
1904 Ford Model AC. Photos courtesy of Bonhams Auctions.
Finding one pre-Model T Ford automobile at auction can be a challenge because relatively few were constructed (by modern standards, anyway) and only a small percentage were preserved for posterity. Finding a pair of early 20th century Fords in the same auction is cause for celebration among brass-era Ford collectors, who will have a chance to bid on a 1904 Ford Model AC and a 1907 Ford Model N at the upcoming estate sale of Dr. Ralph W.E. Cox Jr.
The 1904 Ford Model AC in Cox's collection is a four-seater rear-entrance tonneau, bearing engine number 982. Though based on the Model A of 1903-1904, the Model AC rode on a 78-inch wheelbase instead of the Model A's 72-inch wheelbase, and came powered by the Model C's 120.5-cu.in. opposed-twin engine. Output was rated at 10 horsepower, enough to give the Model AC a claimed top speed of 38 miles per hour.
1904 Ford Model AC.
This particular Model AC is said to carry "solid and sound" coachwork and aged upholstery with little wear, but the carpets will need to be replaced and the engine (which reportedly turns over and exhibits "some" compression) will need to be refurbished. Overall, the car is said to be a sound platform for restoration or preservation, and Bonhams expects to realize a selling price between $60,000 and $80,000 on the no-reserve auction.
The 1907 Model N runabout in Cox's collection carries engine number 5362, and is from the Model N's second year of production. Power comes from a front-mounted, inline four-cylinder engine displacing 149 cubic inches and making a claimed 15 horsepower. Its 84-inch wheelbase likely delivered a more comfortable ride than earlier Model A and Model C automobiles, though the Model N was still positioned as Ford's entry-level automobile, sold on price rather than available amenities.
1907 Ford Model N.
The car is said to retain its body tag, an original Ford floormat and its Splitdorf coil box, and the upholstery may well be original (though this is not documented). The car is believed to have been repainted at least once over its century-plus lifespan, but the shade of dark green used is said to be a factory color. The Model N includes roll-down windshield panels and comes with a full canopy top, and is described as "of preservation quality." Bonhams expects this car to draw bidding of up to $30,000 in the no-reserve auction.
1909 Premier Model 45 Raceabout.
Other automobiles to be offered from the Cox collection at no reserve include a 1909 Premier Model 45 Raceabout, equipped with a 55 horsepower six-cylinder engine; a 1911 Ford Model T Torpedo Roadster; a 1906 Waltham Orient Buckboard Runabout; a 1931 Ford Model A DeLuxe Roadster; a 1934 Ford Phaeton; a 1926 Ford Model T Speedster; a 1920 Maxwell Model 25 Five-Passenger Touring; a 1928 Ford Model AR Rumble Seat Sport Coupe; a 1928 Franklin 11B Five-Passenger Sedan; a 1930 Ford Model A Five-Window Coupe; a 1957 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe de Ville; and a 1952 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe. There are trucks to be sold as well, along with antique fire apparatus (both motorized and horse-drawn), wagons, airplane engines, a 1906 San Francisco cable car and a copious amount of spare parts.
The Dr. Ralph W.E. Cox Jr. estate sale will take place on Saturday, May 10, at the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum in Cape May, New Jersey, the very site where Cox's collection was on public display between 1961 and 1964. For additional details, visit Bonhams.com.
UPDATE (13.May): The 1904 Ford Model AC sold for $88,000, the 1907 Ford Model N sold for $42,900, and the 1909 Premier Model 45 Raceabout sold for $143,000, all including buyer's premium. For complete results from the Dr. Ralph W.E. Cox collection sale, visit Bonhams.com.
Hundred-year-old Henderson motorcycle headed to auction
Photos courtesy Bonhams.
Next Sunday, April 27, Bonhams will once again offer a number of rare, vintage and collector motorcycles and parts at the Spring Stafford Sale at Staffordshire County Showground in Stafford, Great Britain. Trophies, posters, memorabilia and even some newer motorcycles are included in the auction list. A total of 184 bikes are being offered as of press time, with two early unrestored Hendersons and a 1914/15 Ariel 5-6-hp with coachbuilt sidecar expected to stir the most interest. Here are just a few that caught our eye from the catalog:
1937 BSA 349cc B24 Empire Star. 1937 marked the first year of the Val Page-designed BSA single-cylinder 350-cc engines. The B24 Empire Star, the B25 Competition and the B26 Star all received the overhead-valve engine with rear-mounted magneto, while the B23 models used a 350-cc sidevalve design. The Empire Star also had a foot-controlled four-speed transmission. All four of the 1937 models were short-lived, gone by 1940. The Empire Star is estimated pre-auction to sell between $5,000 and $6,700.
1925 Excelsior Ladies Model. Here is an Excelsior bike you don't see too often, the Ladies Model. Contrary to the tall, straight spine on the larger-displacement Excelsiors, this dropped-frame version was unique to this model and thought to be more comfortable for women. The bike was originally equipped with a Villiers two-stroke 147-cc engine; however, this example has since been refitted with a JAP sidevalve engine. You may have seen this particular bike before at another Bonhams sale back in 2010. It is expected to bring between $6,400 and $8,100 when all is said and done.
1962 Ariel 247-cc Super Sports Golden Arrow. This Golden Arrow was in storage for over 30 years before being restored by its third and current owner. It has only three miles on the clock since restoration and is expected to bring bids of $4,200 to $6,700.
1963 Aermacchi 248-cc Ala d'Oro racing motorcycle. The Aermacchi Ala D'oro is said to be powered by the most successful and highly developed 250-cc single-cylinder racing engine ever developed. Although not a winner at Isle of Man, it enjoyed a successful racing career at many other venues in the early Sixties. This bike was restored by the Sammy Miller Museum and is race-ready, should you get the urge to take it out on the track. Bids are expected at north of $9,000.
1914 Henderson Model C. Stored for more than 40 years in a private collection in Norway, the 1914 "long frame" Model C has the 65-inch wheelbase and could well hit an estimated six figures for someone who can envision the finished restoration project that the current owner once saw, but never executed. It sports a 57-cubic-inch inline-four and two-speed transmission housed at the rear wheel.
1917 Henderson Model D. The Model D was a short-frame, 58-inch-wheelbase Henderson and comes from the same Norwegian collection as the Model C. Though slightly less desirable than its Model C predecessor, this example has the three-speed transmission mounted to the engine, leading us to believe a Model G inline-four may have been transplanted at one time. The Model D could still draw attention at the bargain price estimates of $25,000 to $34,000.
1914/15 Ariel 5-6hp with coachbuilt sidecar. Found in the basement of a dealership in Aberdeen by its new owners, the bike was purchased in 1964 when it was brought in to be serviced, and has sat as you see it since that time. The engine is an AKD 670-cc V-Twin, the largest of three displacements offered in 1915. This tandem is expected to gavel at over $24,000.
Other offerings include small-displacement scoots from James, Francis Barnett, Maserati, and Dunnelt, with classic larger bikes from Henley-Blackburne, Triumph, BSA, Vincent and Norton as well as a pair of 1920s Douglases. Several new bikes are also up for grabs, including a 1989 Ducati 888-cc Lucchinelli replica racing motorcycle still in the original crate. The auction will take place in the Sandylands Centre at the Staffordshire County Showgrounds. For more information, visit Bonhams.com.
Influential Aston Martin Atom concept heads to auction
Aston Martin's Atom concept. Photos courtesy Bonhams Auctions.
Though Aston Martin has existed as an automaker since 1915, it can be argued that a single car best signifies the start of the brand's modern era. Not only did the 1940 Aston Martin Atom concept denote a radical change in both styling and construction, it was reportedly one of the key reasons why industrialist David Brown agreed to buy the struggling automaker in 1947. This summer, the concept car described as an "influential landmark within motoring history" (and seen perhaps, as Aston Martin's "Holy Grail") heads to auction at Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed sale, changing ownership for only the third time in the past five decades.
Designed in 1939 by Claude Hill (with input from company owner Gordon Sutherland), the Aston Martin Atom was to be the blueprint from which all future Aston Martins were to be built. In the words of Sutherland, the Atom was to be "the smallest, lightest enclosed saloon possible," and the car would blend performance and handling with comfort and quiet, all in equal measure. Instead of a traditional ladder chassis, the Atom utilized a lightweight frame of rectangular steel tubes, which varied in both dimension and thickness based upon anticipated stresses. To add torsional rigidity, a second rectangular tube space frame, this one intended to support the car's aluminum body, was welded to the car's chassis, creating a light yet strong platform from which to build a grand touring car. Underneath, the traditional front beam axle was replaced with the automaker's first-ever independent front suspension, while in the rear a conventional live axle was suspended by traditional leaf springs.
The Atom broke new styling ground for Aston Martin as well, utilizing fenders that flowed into the body, negating the need for running boards. Unlike the Type C, which mounted its headlamps in the grille, the Atom featured headlamps recessed into the front fenders for a cleaner look and improved airflow. The car lacked any grille to speak of; instead, a series of 12 slits, each smaller than the one before, spread out from the hood's centerline, marked by a vertical chrome strip. It's said that wartime material shortages influenced the car's lines, but it's clear that Hill and Sutherland always intended the car to have a cutting-edge, futuristic look. Inside, that theme was carried over with 2+2 seating that borrowed from the aircraft industry, utilizing "hammock style" construction to further shed pounds and add a touch of style.
Initially, power came from the same 1950cc, single-overhead camshaft, four-cylinder engine used in the 15/98 series, mated to a Cotal electromagnetic semi-automatic gearbox. Completed in late July 1940, the functioning Atom concept was one of around 750 total cars registered in the U.K. that year, and Sutherland himself piloted the car when wartime rationing permitted. Perhaps because of Aston Martin's role as a defense contractor during the war, Sutherland was able to accumulate an estimated 100,000 miles in four years, burning through two engines in the process of testing the car.
In 1944, the Atom received its third engine, a 1970cc four-cylinder that utilized a less-expensive-to-produce pushrod overhead-valve design. The bore was enlarged and the stroke reduced, meaning that the new engine (which would later go on to power Aston Martin's DB1) was a bit smoother and more willing to rev than the previous version. Even on wartime gasoline of marginal quality, the Atom's final engine made 90 horsepower, good enough for a top speed in excess of 100 MPH, thanks to the car's lightweight construction.
By 1947, Aston Martin was in need of a new financial savior, as postwar prosperity had yet to hit England's motoring industry. David Brown, the entrepreneurial head of tractor manufacturer David Brown Limited, responded to a classified ad in The Times newspaper, listing a "High Class Motor Business" for sale; that business was Aston Martin, and a visit with Gordon Sutherland gave Brown the opportunity to drive the Atom concept. Impressed by the small car's abilities, Brown became Aston Martin's next owner, reportedly for a price of £20,500 (then $82,615).
The Atom would never see production, as new owner Brown wanted the firm's first postwar effort to be a roadster and not a sedan. It would, however, serve as the basis of the 1948 Aston Martin 2-Litre Sports, a car that would later be known as the DB1. Thanks to ideas pioneered by the Atom, the DB1 came to market with a tubular space frame design and an independent front suspension, along with headlamps integrated into the flowing front fenders, just as the Atom had pioneered for the company eight years earlier.
Putting a price on a car with this much history and so few owners poses a challenge, and Bonhams will only state that the Atom is expected to sell "in the high hundreds of thousands" of pounds.
The Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed auction will take place June 27. For more information, visit, Bonhams.com.
Facel Vega, covered with dust and patina, sells for $209,509 in Paris
1962 Facel Vega Facel II. Photos courtesy Bonhams Auctions.
While most Facel Vega models were exported out of France, demand for these hand-crafted sports luxury cars remains high in their country of origin. At the recent Bonhams Paris sale, a 1962 Facel II fresh from long-term storage in the United States and in need of a thorough restoration sold for 155,250 euros ($209,509) including buyer's premiums, easily besting the pre-auction estimate of 80,000 to 140,000 euros ($108,000 to $189,000).
The Facel II, introduced in 1961 for the 1962 model year, used the same wheelbase and 2+2 seating configuration as its predecessor, the HK500, but sported a grille that was a bit less rectangular, framed by vertical Marchal headlamps in oval housings. The windshield, while still curved at the top and on the sides, was less pronounced than on the HK500, and the roof utilized minimal C-pillars, improving outward visibility for the driver. At the rear, small marker lights perched atop the fenders, while large round taillamps were positioned just above the bumper, lower than the upper-fender mounted taillamps of the HK500. The changes, though subtle, gave the Facel II a more contemporary appearance than its predecessor, but the car's $12,160 price tag (the same as the HK500, but twice as much as a Lincoln Continental and on par with an Aston Martin DB4GT) limited the car's prospective pool of buyers. In 1961, Facel Vega produced a total of 66 HK500 and Facel II models combined, and in 1962, the highest production year, 91 Facel II models were built.
The Facel II's Chrysler V-8 was rated at 350 horsepower when mated to the TorqueFlite automatic transmission.
Power for Facel II models came from a 383-cu.in. Chrysler V-8, rated at 355 horsepower with the TorqueFlite automatic or 390 horsepower with the Pont-a-Mousson four-speed. That was sufficient to deliver a top speed of 150 miles per hour and a 0-60 MPH time of 8.3 seconds on manual transmission models, making the Facel II the sportiest of offerings from Forges et Ateliers de Construction d'Eure et de Loire S.A. To effectively scrub off speed, four-wheel disc brakes were standard equipment; buyers of automatic transmission models also received power steering, while buyers of four-speed manual transmission cars (who, presumably, favored precise handling over light steering effort) had to pay extra for this luxury.
This particular 1962 Facel II, chassis number HK2A154, was sold new by Hoffman Motor Company in New York City. It's unclear when the car first sold or who its original owner was, but in 1971 the Peacock Blue with gray leather coupe found a home with its second owner, who last registered it in Minnesota in 1973. Though the car remained in his possession, it was then stored for four decades, and as evidenced by the accumulated dirt, rust and rot, the conditions of the car's forced hibernation were sub-optimal for preservation. The paint and interior are both believed to be original, as is the drivetrain.
The auction's top sale was this 1968 Ferrari 275 GTB4.
The top 10 sellers at the Bonhams Paris auction included a 1968 Ferrari 275 GTB4 Berlinetta, which set a new auction record for the model by selling for €2,530,000 ($3,414,235); a 1929 Bugatti Type 35B Grand Prix two-seater, which sold for €1,610,000 ($2,172,695); a 1962 Aston Martin DB4 GT (Series IV) coupe, which sold for €1,184,500 ($1,598,482); a 1947 Delage D6 Three-Liter Competition Grand Prix, which sold for €1,092,500 ($1,474,328); a 1965 Aston Martin DB5, which sold for €776,250 ($1,047,549); a 1958 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster, which sold for €713,000 ($962,193); a 1939 Lagonda V12 Drophead Coupe, which sold for €506,000 ($682,847); a 1984 Ferrari 126 C4 M2 Formula 1, as campaigned by Michele Alboreto, which sold for €483,000 ($651,808); a 1966 Citroen DS21 Le Caddy Cabriolet, which sold for €310,500 ($419,019); and a 1989 Porsche 911 "Narrow Body" Speedster, which also sold for €310,500 ($419,019), more than doubling its pre-auction estimate.
This 1959 Ford Galaxie Sunliner sold for $16,295.
Buyers looking for less exotic (and hence, less expensive) purchases could choose from a 1959 Ford Galaxie Sunliner convertible, which sold for €12,075 ($16,295); a 1988 Mazda 323 Familia 4WD Rally car, complete with a documented competition history, which sold for €10,925 ($14,743); a 1971 Citroen ID19 D Special sedan, which sold for €6,325 ($8,535); a 1976 Saab 96L sedan, which sold for €5,175 ($6,983); a 1971 Rover 3500 sedan, which sold for €5,175 ($6,983); and a 1938 Austin Seven Ruby Deluxe sedan, which sold for €3,450 ($4,655).

Scale model Imperial sells for $17,500 at auction
1962 Imperial by Asahi. Photos courtesy Bonhams.
When it comes to collectible toys, rarity, condition, and the presence of original packaging are generally the three biggest factors affecting value. Combine a rare model, appraised in "very good" condition, with its original packaging showing little more than scuffs to the printed label and wear at the corners, and the net result is a "perfect storm" of desirability among collectors. That was the case in San Francisco earlier this week, when a 1962 Imperial model from Asahi, complete with original packaging, sold for a price of $17,500, including buyer's fees.
Unlike many toys from the period, this particular example showed few signs of wear. Its black paint still gleamed, and the oversize golden Imperial badges were still affixed to the front fenders. Easily broken pieces, such as the side mirrors and the taillamp lenses, were intact and showed no signs of repair. Described by Bonhams as "a good example of one of the most sought-after Japanese toys of mid-century," its five-figure selling price reflected both its condition and its rarity on the market, and turned out to be the auction's exception, not its norm.
1956 Ford Fairlane by Marusan.
Other collectibles cracking the auction's top five included a 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II two-door sedan from toymaker Marusan, complete with its original (but misprinted with a 1958 Lincoln) box, which sold for $7,500; a 1956 Ford Fairlane sedan from Marusan, missing its windshield but complete with well-worn original packaging, which sold for $6,875; a 1956 Pontiac Club de Mer concept model from Mitsuhashi, minus its box and showing average wear for its age, which sold for $6,000; and a 1950s Jet Rocket V-7 lithographed tin toy from Kokyu, missing its packaging and its rear stabilizers, which sold for $5,000.
The Pontiac Club de Mer was hardly the only vintage American concept car in the sale. A 1955 Lincoln Futura concept, rendered in steel by Alps Shoji Limited, sold for $1,875 including its original packaging; a 1954 GM Firebird I, also from Alps, in reasonable condition but missing its box, sold for $1,125; a 1958 GM Firebird III, again from Alps and complete with its well-worn packaging, sold for $750; and a second Lincoln Futura from Alps, painted red instead of silver but in rough condition, sold for $525.
The 1952 Indianapolis 500-winning Agajanian Special, from Yonezawa.
The influence of American racing on Japanese toymakers was evident, too, and a Yonezawa replica of Troy Ruttman's 1952 Indianapolis 500-winning Agajanian Special, lacquered over its original paint and showing evidence of play wear, sold for $2,000.

Stripped-down Studebaker Golden Hawk sells for $108,000

For a car that resided at the top of the Studebaker lineup and that ostensibly was built to compete in the proto-personal luxury market with Chrysler's 300-series cars, the Golden Hawk could surprisingly be had with relatively few amenities, as we see from the example that sold at the recent Bonhams Scottsdale auction. Yet what was a relatively stripped-down car when new, all the better to make use of its supercharged V-8, sold for $107,800, including buyer's premium.
While a 275hp Studebaker 289-cu.in. V-8 topped with a McCulloch supercharger came standard on the 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk – replacing the naturally aspirated 275hp Packard-supplied 352-cu.in. V-8 that powered the previous year's model – apparently little else did. Studebaker made the Flight-O-Matic automatic transmission optional even on the Golden Hawk, leaving the column-shifted three-speed manual transmission with overdrive standard on that model. Most of the 4,356 Golden Hawks that left the factory that year did end up with the automatic transmission, but not this one (chassis number 6103090), which not only made do with the three on the tree, but also manual steering, manual windows, manual brakes, and no radio.
If that sounds like a recipe for a tailored performance machine, consider one of the few optional items originally ordered for this Golden Hawk: its Twin-Traction limited-slip differential. The Bonhams auction description doesn't indicate who originally ordered the Golden Hawk, or for what exact purpose, but noted that the car still wears its original black California license plates and that it was treated to a full restoration in its original black-and-gold paint scheme. Its selling price fell within its pre-auction estimate of $90,000 to $120,000.
All told, Bonhams sold $23,436,000 worth of cars at this year's Scottsdale auction, including its star of the show, a Touring-bodied 1951 Ferrari 212 Berlinetta, known as "the tailor's car," which sold for $3.19 million. Rounding out the top 10 sales from the auction are a Zagato-bodied 1931 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Supercharged Gran Sport Spider, which sold for $3.08 million; a Scaglietti-bodied 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/6C, which sold for $2.64 million; a 1936 Mercedes-Benz 500K Sports Phaeton, which sold for $1.43 million; a 1961 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster with hardtop, which sold for $1,237,500; a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Coupe, which sold for $1,078,000; a Pininfarina-bodied 1968 Ferrari 330GTC, which sold for $803,000; a Pininfarina-bodied 1967 Ferrari 330GTC, which sold for $660,000; a Figoni et Falaschi-bodied 1947 Bentley MK VI Coupe, which sold for $605,000; and a 1935 Auburn 851 Supercharged Boattail Speedster, which sold for $467,500.
A number of cars sold for less than $35,000 at the auction as well, including a 1958 Morgan Plus 4 Sports, which sold for $30,800; a 1960 Austin-Healey "Bugeye" Sprite MK I, which sold for $26,400; a 1960 MGA 1600 Roadster, which sold for $24,200; a Bertone-bodied 1967 Simca 1000 Coupe, which also sold for $24,200; a 1931 Chevrolet Rumble Seat Coupe, which sold for $22,000; a 1951 MG TD, which sold for $20,900; a 1948 Fiat 500B Topolino Cabriolet, which sold for $18,700; a 1968 Bentley T Series Sedan, which sold for $17,600; a 1964 Fiat 2300S Coupe, which sold for $16,500; and a 1949 Crosley Hotshot Roadster, which sold for $13,200.

Harley-Davidson EL auction record set, then broken, in Las Vegas
The unrestored 1940 Harley-Davidson EL, sold by Bonhams. Photo courtesy Bonhams Auctions.
When the green 1940 Harley-Davidson EL took center stage in Las Vegas last week, the crowd on hand helped fuel a bidding war that saw prices quickly escalate beyond six figures. When the sale concluded, the winning bidder had paid $159,000 (including buyer's fees) for the honor of adding the unrestored EL from the Pierce Family Museum to their collection, setting a new world record price for the model at auction. That record would stand for a mere 48 hours, as just two days later a rival auction house had sold a fully restored 1936 Harley-Davidson EL for an even higher price of $179,850 (including buyer's fees), once again establishing a benchmark for the model at auction.
Launched without ceremony in 1936, the Harley-Davidson EL was an entirely new motorcycle from the ground up. Debuting a duplex-tube frame, the EL also introduced Harley-Davidson's overhead-valve, large-displacement (60.33-cu.in.) V-twin "knucklehead" engine, named for the distinctive shape of its valve covers, to a production motorcycle (though the brand had previous experience racing overhead-valve engines). The EL also introduced a pump-driven recirculating oil system as well as a four-speed transmission, and its teardrop-shaped dual gas tanks remain a fixture of Harley-Davidson design to this day. Erring on the side of caution for its radical new motorcycle, Harley-Davidson initially minimized marketing efforts, going so far as to exclude the knucklehead from 1936 product catalogs in case the bike didn't live up to the brand's expectations. History tells us that the EL was a success, and the knucklehead engine remained in production until 1947, replaced by the "panhead" V-twin engine in 1948.
Bonhams sold the unrestored example on Thursday, January 9, (briefly) establishing a new world record price for the model at auction. Said to be among Wayne Pierce's favorite motorcycles, the EL sported an in-period aftermarket green paint scheme, as well as period accessories such as twin rear fender bars, chrome fender stripes and embossed leather Harley-Davidson saddlebags, complete with decorative conchos. For the buyer desiring patina, this example's originality certainly added to its value.

MidAmerica Auctions set a new record for the model just two days later, selling a restored 1936 Harley-Davidson EL from the George Pardos Collection for a price of $179,850. A stunning example of a first model year EL, the motorcycle was restored by Ken Presson in the late 1990s, and judged 99.75 out of 100 at Antique Motorcycle Club of America meets in both 1998 and 1999. Described by MidAmerica as "close to perfect," the Venetian Blue with Croyden Cream EL has been featured in a series of paintings by artist David Uhl, including Rose, The Real Thing, and The Art of the Motorcycle.

Rounding out the top five sales at the Bonhams Las Vegas Motorcycle Auction were an unraced 1978 Ducati 900 NCR, which sold for $175,500; a 1973 Ducati 750SS, which sold for $137,000; a second 1973 Ducati 750SS, which sold for $134,250; and a 1954 BMW Rennsport RS54, which sold for $126,000. At the MidAmerica sale, other motorcycles in the top five included a 1911 Harley Davidson 7D Twin, which sold for $283,400; a 1937 BMW R37, which sold for $218,000; a 1955 Vincent Black Prince, which sold for $136,250; and a 1914 Harley-Davidson 10F Twin, which sold for $114,250.

Cars I'll be watching in Arizona
Gooding & Company, Scottsdale, 2013. Photo by the author.
This is my second trip to the January Scottsdale auctions, an orgy of buying and selling collector cars that, along with being one of the biggest money weeks in all of our hobby, has become something of a spectator sport as well. The crowds are notoriously large at Barrett-Jackson's week-long, nationally televised event, but there isn't necessarily a whole lot of elbow room at the other five auctions either.
Now that I am no longer a Scottsdale novice, amateur hour thankfully over, this year, along with our regular coverage of Russo and Steele, RM Auctions, Gooding & Company, Bonhams, Silver and Barrett-Jackson, I have picked out 21 cars that I will be specifically looking at, following their performance at auction. There are different reasons I have my eye on these cars, some to see if recent auction action suggests movement in a particular model's value, some because they are cars I have always had an affinity for, and at least one that I have personally studied up close, photographing it and writing about it for one of our magazines.

I will also be on the lookout for performance of such auction mainstays as the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL roadster and gullwing, the Ferrari Dino 246 models and any Jaguar E-type Series I's, particularly given the price one such cat commanded in November at the RM/Sotheby's auction in New York.
1928 Stutz BB Speedster. Photo by the author.
Gooding, Lot 9: 1928 Stutz Model BB Four-Passenger Speedster. Not long after I started here at Hemmings, Hemmings Classic Car editor Richard Lentinello sent me to photograph this Stutz BB Speedster, a Full Classic worthy of the designation and the recipient of a Pebble Beach-award-winning restoration along with a few small upgrades in the name of driveability. While not exactly the color I would choose for my Stutz (the long, low Stutz eight-cylinder cars look particularly imposing in black with red accents), the car presented very well and looks to be the sort that a new owner will enjoy driving immensely, especially with the upgrades.
Gooding, Lot 59: 1973 Fiat Dino Coupe. Using the same engines as the Ferrari Dino 206 and 246 GT and GTS, the Fiat Dino has long been thought of as a poor man's Ferrari. Because Fiat manufactured the dual-overhead-cam V-6 engines for Ferrari, they also used them in their Dino coupe and convertible, bodied respectively by Bertone and Pininfarina. The Dino remains somewhat affordable, though prices have been rising. Will it remain affordable to have a Fiat bade with Ferrari sounds coming from underneath?
Gooding, Lot 117: 1955 Lancia Aurelia B24S. Lancias have come on strong in recent years and none more so than the Aurelia B24S Spider America, perhaps the rarest of the lot and certainly the most coveted. The pre-auction estimate (a figure to not be studied too closely) has this car north of seven figures. A similar left-hand-drive B24S sold at RM Auctions last January for $825,000. (That same car sold for $550,000 in August 2007.) We will be watching to see if this rare model – just 181 made with left-hand drive – has truly moved another 25 percent in the last 12 months.

Gooding, Lot 154: 1956 Austin-Healey 100M / RM Auctions, Lot 35: 1956 Austin-Healey 100M. Perhaps the ultimate Big Healey, even more so than the later six-cylinder cars, the 100M four-cylinder models featured significantly upgraded engines with higher compression, bigger carbs, different intake and airbox, a high-lift camshaft and a unique, louvered hood along with a collapsible, cut-down windshield. Though many 100Ms were created by enterprising owners and participating dealers, just 640 came equipped from the factory this way. Prices have moved north in recent years, particularly for authentic factory originals. We will be watching to see if that trend continues.
RM Auctions, Lot 6: 1963 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster "M-Code". One of the last gasps of a truly sporting car to wear the Thunderbird moniker, just 37 Thunderbird Sports Roadsters were built in 1963 with the M-code V-8: a 390-cu.in. monster motor topped with a trio of Holley two-barrel carburetors making 340 horsepower. Thunderbirds of this bullet-nose era rarely garner big bucks, but rarity and the sexy Sports Roadster model with its back-seat covering tonneau with built-in headrests really makes a statement.
RM Auctions, Lot 14: 1933 Packard Twelve Coupe Roadster. There is no question that this Packard Twelve Roadster is a stunning car, but the days of frenzied bidding for all but the very top cars of the era may be over. Perhaps it's a generational thing, but are Full Classics becoming somewhat more affordable as collectors chase postwar European sports cars and muscle machines?
RM Auctions, Lot 49: 1939 BMW 327/28 Coupe. BMW 328 roadsters always make waves, but the 327 coupes, rare as they are, seldom seem to show up at auction. And what makes this model all the more enticing is the more powerful 328 engine, a robust 80-hp, 2.0-liter straight-six under the hood, which gives it the 327/28 designation. While BMW manufactured 482 cabriolet 328s, they produced only 86 closed-roof 327/28s. Rarity does not always trump an open-top car at auction. We shall see if it does at RM, though it would be hard pressed to match recent 328 sales of $500,000 or more.
1955 Chrysler C-300 from RM Auctions. Photo courtesy RM Auctions.
RM Auctions, Lot 73: 1955 Chrysler C-300. Chrysler's original "Letter Car" was the meanest, fastest and baddest machine on the road in 1955. Back when stock car racing meant actual, stock automobiles, a stock 300-C took NASCAR's Grand National title in 1955 and 1956. Handsome, powerful and with a racing pedigree – what's not to like?
1957 Chevrolet 150 two-door post sedan. Photo courtesy of Russo and Steele.
Russo and Steele, Consignment Number 7661: 1957 Chevrolet 150 Coupe. This might just be the unicorn of 1957 Chevys: No 350 small-block swap; a simple, two-door post sedan; low-level 150 trim devoid of the Bel Air's added chrome. Still featuring its original, unmolested 235-cu.in. straight-six and three-speed manual, this was pretty much as basic as Chevy got in 1957.
Russo and Steele, Consignment Number 7066: 1969 Dodge Charger 500. The slightly shyer, slightly older brother to the Dodge Daytona. With lower production (roughly 392 cars made), this sleeker – but not the sleekest – of the coke-bottle Chargers is equipped with a four-speed and a Hemi, along with the slick aerodynamic back glass and flush Coronet front end that Dodge had incorporated into the design to make it more superspeedway friendly for NASCAR competition. A low-volume muscle car that those in-the-know will instantly recognize.
Russo and Steele, Consignment Number 7555: 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280 SEL. These robust W108 long-wheelbase sedans were never exactly disposable, but after years of being just a cheap, old, but super-elegant classic Mercedes, their prices seem to be on the rise. And, personally, having more or less learned to drive in such a car, I have always had my eye on them. This one has low mileage (51,000 – sort of super-low for a model known to be durable enough to reach half-a-million clicks on the odometer) and with prices going way up for the coupes, cabrios and super-sporty 6.3-liter V-8-powered cars, it will be interesting to see what Russo and Steele can get for this car.
Russo and Steele, Consignment Number 7273: 1962 Volkswagen Double Cap Pick Up. Trucks are hot, even somewhat odd, rear-engine, air-cooled ones. This is the sort of vehicle that would not only thrill people at your local cruise-in or European car show, but also be able to haul parts when needed.
1977 Porsche 911. Photo courtesy Bonhams.
Bonhams, Lot 111: 1977 Porsche 911 Coupe. With 911s of every other vintage heating up like a super nova, it is only a matter of time before the previously stagnant 1974-1977 2.7-liter models took fire. This car will make a fine test for the model: It's said to be a "survivor" with less than 21,000 original miles, though the engine was rebuilt after sitting for quite a spell. Best of all, as a no-reserve auction, it will definitely sell and tell us what the market thinks of the 2.7-liter cars.
Bonhams, Lot 166: 1967 Simca Coupe. Sold last year in Arizona by Gooding for $28,000, this Simca is a very-original, very low-mileage example. It's not perfect, but, then again, it's a true survivor in remarkably original condition. The Simca is not exactly a beautiful car; far from it, really. And you don't find a lot of people beating down the doors seeking out Simcas. The true questions here are if originality trumps beauty and if Bonhams can find two people willing to duke it out over such originality.
Barrett-Jackson, Lot 1659.2: 1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser Convertible Pace Car Replica. As 1957 models go, the Mercury Turnpike Cruiser often finds itself as a wallflower when enthusiast collectors come courting Chevy Bel Airs or De Sotos and their sexy wings. But the Turnpike Cruiser was a legitimate performance car with its 368-cu.in. V-8 capable of 290 horsepower, and only a handful of the 1,265 made were Indianapolis 500 Pace Car replicas like this one. Owning such a car would probably make you pretty unique at the local cruise-in, and the decal package, in the period type, looks pretty cool.
Barrett-Jackson, Lot 142: 1969 Ford Talladega. As a big-block, dual-quad, Blue Oval alternative to a winged Mopar, may we present this 1969 Ford Talladega. Like the Dodge Daytona and Plymouth Superbird, the Talladega was designed to help cheat the wind on NASCAR's big ovals. In street trim, with a potent 428 Cobra Jet and a C-6 automatic, this documented Talladega is likely equally at home purring along the boulevard or tearing up the strip. As a no reserve auction, we should be able to see how it stacks up to the Charger 500 being sold by Russo and Steele.
1965 Pontiac GTO. Photo courtesy Barrett-Jackson.
Barrett-Jackson, Lot 502.1: 1965 Pontiac GTO Hardtop. Here's something we like to see at the Arizona auctions: a good, clean, documented muscle car. Pontiac made GTOs in abundance, so we're the better for it today. This car, with its potent 389 Tri-Power and clean, simple, white-over-blue color scheme and body-color steel wheel with dog dish hubcaps presents an alternative to restomods and replicas of high-zoot, ultra-low-production muscle car royalty. So, does the market like clean and simple or extra fancy?
1937 Cadillac V-12 Formal Sedan. Photo courtesy Barrett-Jackson.
Barrett-Jackson, Lot 818: 1937 Cadillac V-12 Formal Sedan. As with the Packard Twelve above, I will be paying attention to this 12-cylinder Cadillac and its Fleetwood-built Formal Sedan coachwork. Being a closed car just beyond the most compelling design years and being American seem to be three strikes against big gains these days, but, hey, that's what no reserve auctions are there for: To tell us just exactly what a car is worth.
Silver, Lot 308: 1997 Porsche Boxster. This is the sort of car we love to find at Silver, which almost seems a secret compared to the big-bucks auctions held miles away from Silver's Fort McDowell event. In this case a first-year Boxster, looking like it's been plenty used will either be a bargain or a potential fixer-upper for the next owner. And, because it's listed no reserve, it will find a new home, guaranteed.
Silver, Lot 11: 1966 Buick Wildcat Convertible. Silver is a potential gold mine for the bargain hunters willing to go beyond Scottsdale's well-groomed borders. And this Wildcat looks to have been respectfully restored, well maintained and recently updated, according to the seller's description. Wildcats don't always have the panache and glory that "true" muscle cars do, but, then again, they usually don't carry anywhere near the price tag of such panache and glory.
Two long-term-ownership boattail Auburn speedsters head to auction
1935 Auburn 851 boattail speedster. Photos courtesy Bonhams.
Whether wearing bodywork designed by Alan Leamy or Gordon Buehrig, whether powered by a V-12 or supercharged straight-eight, boattail Auburns have proven some of the most desirable American collector cars out there, and as illustrated by a pair of boattails headed to auction this month – one owned for 64 years, the other for almost as many – they've inspired such desire among collectors for a considerable amount of time.
The younger of the two boattails, a Buehrig-designed 1935 Auburn 851 supercharged boattail speedster, chassis number 32069E, happens to be the one with more years in one collection. Discovered by World War II Marine Corps veteran Valentino Chickinelli – whose family founded Omaha Plating – in 1949 in a garage in Omaha, Nebraska, the boattail already required a restoration, which took Chickinelli until 1955 to complete. According to the Bonhams auction description of the Auburn, Chickinelli restored the Auburn as an 852, but the changes involved in the alteration amounted to a new ID plate and grille badge. After several years of parades and car shows, Chickinelli then entered it in a local race, in which he reportedly bested a Duesenberg SJ, but at the same time overheated the Auburn's engine and cracked its cylinder head. Though he acquired an NOS replacement head, he never got around to fixing the Auburn – too preoccupied with the 100-plus other cars in his collection – and left it unrepaired from 1962 until he died last August at the age of 89.
Offered with the replacement head and original ID plate, the 1935 Auburn is expected to draw bids of up to $300,000 to $400,000.
1933 Auburn 12-161A Custom.
The other boattail, a Leamy-designed 1933 Auburn 12-161A Custom boattail speedster, chassis number 160 1146E, also received some updating over the years. According to the Bonhams auction description, prior owner Ruby Hofer of Los Angeles commissioned its transformation into Salon trim and fitment with 1934 Auburn bumpers and a later steering wheel in 1949, a few years after she bought it. In the mid-1950s, she then sold the V-12-powered boattail to Dr. Ralph Waldo Emerson Cox of New Jersey, another World War II veteran, who displayed it briefly in his own museum in the 1950s and 1960s and who died in 2012 at the age of 97.
One of only three 12-161A Custom speedsters built in 1933, the boattail is expected to draw bids of up to $500,000 to $600,000.
The Bonhams Scottsdale auction is scheduled to take place January 16 at the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa in Scottsdale. For more information, visit Bonhams.com.
UPDATE (17.January 2014): The 1935 Auburn 851 sold for $467,500, while the 1933 Auburn 12-161A sold for $451,000.
The top 10 car sales at auction in 2013

When we penned last year's top 10 auction recap, we apologized to our readers in advance for covering the extreme top end of the market, where three cars sold in excess of $10 million, and the total value of all cars on the list reached $85,918,970. With that in mind, we'll apologize ahead of this year's recap as well, as four cars sold in excess of $10 million (including two that sold in excess of $20 million), and the total value of the top 10 cars sold at auction in 2013 reached $140,266,648. In terms of revenue growth, that's a 63.25 percent jump in the span of one year, and demand for investment-grade automobiles shows no sign of slowing.
As in past years, the majority of the big-dollar sales came during Monterey week in August, but significant cars drew big money even at smaller, less publicized events. Though some may fear that the hobby is being priced beyond the means of the average collector, it's worth pointing out that these lots represent a mere fraction of the cars sold at auction, and for every $9 million Ferrari sold, there were likely a few dozen Chevrolet Corvettes, Alfa Romeo Spiders, Porsche 911s and Ford Mustangs sold at more attainable prices. Step away from high-demand sports cars and muscle cars, and the average Mecum, Barrett-Jackson, or Russo and Steele event still has interesting lots for those with budgets below $10,000.
Prices below include buyer's fees unless otherwise noted, and lots sold at overseas auctions include currency conversions on the day of the sale.

10. $8,250,000 (tie): 1928 Mercedes-Benz 680S Torpedo Roadster, sold by RM Auctions at its Monterey sale in August. One of three short-windshield models constructed, this car is the last known survivor. The subject of a no-expense spared restoration, the car also has the distinction of capturing Best of Show at Pebble Beach in 2012.

10. $8,250,000 (tie): 1958 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider, sold by Gooding & Company at its Scottsdale sale in January. A well-documented and numbers-matching car, this Ferrari has been restored to "as new" condition, and has earned a Platinum award from the Ferrari Club of America. It's been displayed at Pebble Beach, too, and is likely destined for future concours d'elegance glory.

9. $8,470,000: 1997 McLaren F1, sold by Gooding & Company at its Pebble Beach sale in August. While McLaren F1s in any condition remain desirable cars, this example's detailed service history and low mileage (less than 14,000) made it particularly attractive to buyers.
1937 Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante. Photo by Kurt Ernst.
8. $8,745,000: 1937 Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante, sold by Gooding & Company at its Pebble Beach sale in August. Only 17 Bugatti Type 57S models were constructed with Jean Bugatti's Atalante coachwork, so any such model can be expected to draw big money at auction. As a well-documented example with an unbroken ownership history, this Bugatti 57SC Atalante was sold with its original chassis, engine and coachwork, further adding to its value.
1953 Ferrari 375 MM Spider. Photo by Darin Schnabel, courtesy RM Auctions.
7. $9,075,000: 1953 Ferrari 375 MM Spider, sold by RM Auctions at its Monterey sale in August. With a well-known racing history (including an SCCA National Championship in 1954) and long-term family ownership, this car drew considerable attention even before it crossed the stage. One of 12 Ferrari 375MM Spiders built, this is the only example known to carry the car's distinctive "pontoon" fenders.
1957 Ferrari 250 GT 14-Louver Berlinetta. Photo by Kurt Ernst.
6. $9,460,000: 1957 Ferrari 250 GT 14-Louver Berlinetta, sold by Gooding & Company at its Pebble Beach sale in August. One of nine constructed (and eight surviving), this Ferrari's period competition history, superior restoration, and numbers-matching status contributed to the selling price.
1935 Alfa Romeo 8C-35 Grand Prix Monoposto. Photo courtesy Bonhams.
5. $9,654,054: 1935 Alfa Romeo 8C-35 Grand Prix Monoposto, sold by Bonhams at its Goodwood Revival auction in September. Considered by many to be the best-preserved Alfa Romeo 8C-35 in the world, this car's selling points were its documented ownership and known competition history (including recent vintage events).
1953 Ferrari 340/375 MM Berlinetta Competizione. Photo by Tim Scott, courtesy RM Auctions.
4. $12,812,800: 1953 Ferrari 340/375 MM Berlinetta Competizione, sold by RM Auctions at its Villa Erbe sale in May. Campaigned by the Ferrari works team at events like the 1953 24 Hours of Le Mans, the car was driven by such legendary names as Mike Hawthorn, Nino Farina and Alberto Ascari. Now restored to "as new" condition, the car is a frequent participant (and multiple award winner) at concours d'elegance events in the U.S. and Europe.
1964 Ferrari 250 LM. Photo by Michael Furman, courtesy RM Auctions.
3. $14,300,000: 1964 Ferrari 250 LM, sold by RM Auctions at its Art of the Automobile sale in November. A pristine example of Ferrari's original mid-engined car, this 250 LM carries the distinction of a class win at the 1968 24 Hours of Daytona. Sold from long-term ownership, this car was offered to the public for the first time in decades.
1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4*S N.A.R.T. Spider. Photo by Darin Schnabel, courtesy RM Auctions.
2. $27,500,000: 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4*S N.A.R.T. Spider, sold by RM Auctions at its Monterey sale in August. Boasting single-family ownership since its initial delivery in 1968, this Ferrari 275 GTB/4*S N.A.R.T. was one of just 10 examples ever built. Fully restored and numbers-matching, the car's auction price reflected these key selling points. RM claimed a world auction record for road cars with the sale.
1954 Mercedes-Benz W196. Photo courtesy Bonhams.
1. $31,999,794: 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196, sold by Bonhams at its Goodwood Festival of Speed auction in May. Raced by the immortal Juan Manual Fangio, this 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196 represents the only W196 in private hands. Extensive documentation from Mercedes-Benz also shows the car was used for tire testing by famed engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut, making the desirable grand prix racer one of a kind. The sale set the ultimate world auction price record.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Katherine Levy, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 09 June 2011 11:55AM
Vick resigned from JWT in October last year without a job lined up, and has spent the intervening time with his family. He had held the role of joint managing director at JWT for nearly two years, leading the Nestlé and Debenhams business.
Vick has been appointed to The Lighthouse Company with the objective of growing the headhunter's reputation among creative, design and production agencies. The company specialises in board-level and executive leadership placement across the globe.
Before joining JWT, Vick was a director at Duckworth Finn Grubb Waters, which was bought by Freud Communications in May 2008, and the new-business director of Ogilvy & Mather.
Vick, who is currently the honorary secretary of the IPA, said: "It was going to take something special to tempt me back, and I've found that with The Lighthouse Company. It's a hungry and dynamic company with a refreshing point of view on leadership talent and talent management, and a passion for doing things differently."
Saxton said: "With Tom's depth of experience in the creative world, we now offer leaders from media CEOs to advertising ECDs the future face of representation."

Marcus Davies, from Slough, and Mike Robinson, from Reading, attended the HW Young Entrepreneur of the Year competition finals held in Reading, on November 1.
Both business leaders represented their region at the competition, run by chartered accountants Haines Watts.
Amandeep Duhra, partner at Haines Watts' Slough branch and one of the judges, said: "The extremely high-calibre of the finalists was a delight and made choosing just one winner a bit of a headache!
"They all gave a 'Dragon's Den' style presentation on their business and were asked searching questions relating to finances and prospects."
Mr Davies, chief executive of consultancy business Integrella, and Mr Robinson, commercial director at Newbury-based digital marketing agency Generate UK, both picked up a £250 cheque and won a year's free mentoring from Haines Watts' partners.
The finalists heard presentations from leading entrepreneurs, before Dale Barrett, from Oxford, was named overall winner.

Although the first transcontinental railroad connected through Spokane in 1882, north-south travel was still laborious and slow, by saddle or in wagons for long trips to places like Colville and Northport. Keen businessmen were eager to supply the hardy settlers in those places and many tons of freight inched along dusty trails.

US Gymnast Team Captain and Gold Medalist
Aly Raisman
My family in Needham, Massachusetts are justly proud of 18 year old US Women's Gymnast team captain, Aly Raisman, so our her zaydie (grandfather) Marty Raisman and bubbe (grandmother) Susan Faber on her mother Ricky's side. Aly Raisman has earned the praise of colleagues and coaches earning the sobriquet of 'reliable" for her fearless ability to dig in and do amazing turns on the balance beam and especially her floor exercises that earned her both team and individual gold medals, along with the bronze for the balance beam third place finish.
A lot of us were taken with her performances in the floor exercises to the strains of Hava Nagila along with rhythmic clapping. There was also that dancing Israeli flag that those watching her in the London 2012 Olympics spied in the bleachers above the performance floor.
Raisman endeared herself to viewers when she took her final gold medal earned in the final individual floor performance and placed it around the neck of her Olympics coach.
However, probably the proudest and most touching moment came when she was interviewed following her final gold medal award when she commented about the controversy over the moment of silent for the 11 Israeli athletes slain during the 1972 Munich Olympics by Palestinian Terrorists. The JTA reported, "Raisman says she was for Munich 11 moment of silence":
Raisman was speaking to reporters Tuesday following her gold medal performance in the floor exercise.
"Having that floor music wasn't intentional," she said of her floor routine to the music of "Hava Nagila," the New York Post reported Wednesday. "But the fact it was on the 40th anniversary is special, and winning the gold today means a lot to me. If there had been a moment's silence, I would have supported it and respected it."
A memorial ceremony for the 11 Israeli athletes and coaches murdered in Munich was held Monday in London, organized by the Israeli Embassy in London and the National Olympic Committee of Israel along with the London Jewish community.
International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge held a moment of silence for the Israelis at a small ceremony in the Olympic Village late last month, but he said a moment of silence at the opening ceremonies in London would not be appropriate. He spoke at Monday's memorial.
International politicians and public figures, including President Obama and presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, and the governments of several countries had called for an official moment of silence at the London opening.
Someone who took note of Raisman's comments and solidarity was Guri Weinberg, son of Moshe Weinberg, one of the 11 Israelis murdered by Palestinian terrorists at the Munich games in 1972. In this Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC) interview Weinberg publicly thanks US Olympian Aly Raisman for her statement of solidarity with the Munich 11 just after she received her Gold Medal for gymnastics.

2014 was quite the year for athletics in South Jeffco. State championships were won, and teams went on amazing runs. A new sports team was added, and some familiar ones returned to prominence. Though most of those journeys came up short in the end, they will be memorable nevertheless. Without further ado, let's take a look back on the year that was 2014.
Chargers rally in the fourth quarter, upend Palmer
Chatfield snapped a three-game slide with a 67-64 come-from-behind victory over Palmer on Dec. 18 at Chatfield Senior High School.
The Chargers (2-5) trailed 38-32 at halftime and 54-47 entering the fourth quarter before outscoring Palmer 20-10 over the game's final eight minutes.
Will Ross led Palmer (4-4) with 16 points.
What has made Columbine's ice hockey team a success thus far early in the 2014-15 season has been the Rebels' willingness to play as a team. Fifteen players had scored at least one point in the team's first five games. That teamwork was non-existent, head coach Chris Gassman said, in a 3-0 loss to Denver East on Dec. 19 at the Edge Ice Arena.
Grace Harris may be in her first year at Columbine High, but the freshman swimmer is already having a good time.
She scored one of three victories for Columbine, winning the 200-yard freestyle in the Lady Rebels' tri-meet with Arvada West and Dakota Ridge on Dec. 19 at the Ridge Rec Center. Harris was also part of the winning team in the meet-opening 200 medley relay as the Lady Rebels tied Arvada West with 115 points. Dakota Ridge came in third with 94.
Yes, Dakota Ridge is coming off an 18-win season a year ago. Yes, the Eagles went to the Sweet 16 last season for the first time since 2004. Yes, Dakota Ridge is ranked No. 7 in the 5A state boys basketball poll. Yet, somehow, the Eagles have been flying under the radar, albeit, slightly. They're not anymore.
Behind a tenacious man-to-man defense that flustered Arapahoe into turnovers throughout, Dakota Ridge enters the winter break an unblemished 8-0 following a 70-56 road victory Dec. 20 at Arapahoe High School.
Eagles soaring after sixth straight win to start the season
CASTLE ROCK — Dakota Ridge continued its early-season winning ways, scoring its sixth victory of the season with a 64-59 road win at Castle View on Dec. 13.
The Eagles, coached by Curi Yutzy, opened the season with a trio of wins at the Fossil Ridge tournament before its lone home game thus far, a 59-57 thriller over Legend on Dec. 9.
By Matthew Van Deventer
For the Courier
Apparently, Dakota Ridge doesn't need every player to win an ice hockey game. Minus seven of their top players, the Eagles defeated Steamboat Springs, 2-1, on Dec. 12 at the Edge Ice Arena.
Forward Zack Williams, scored Dakota's first goal after he was collapsed in front of the net, went to his knees and lost the puck. Yet, somehow, he regained possession and poked the puck in.
By Craig Harper
For the Courier
Some might question Rich Gavelda's sanity for inviting the likes of Monarch, Grandview and Mesa Ridge — all ranked in the top five in last week's 5A and 4A polls — to Dakota Ridge's revival of the Battle at the Ridge girls basketball tournament.
For three quarters, neither Columbine nor Valor Christian could assume control of the championship game of the Columbine Classic. So the Rebels turned to their luxury — experience.
Behind four of their five senior starters — one missed the game with an injury, Columbine blitzed the younger Eagles by 15 points in the fourth quarter for a 59-45 victory on Dec. 12 to go 3-0 in the four-team, round-robin tournament.
The following are all-conference selections for 5A Jeffco volleyball during the 2014 fall season:
Mikaila Paxton, OH, Arvada West; Jozy Carlacci-King, OH, Bear Creek; Kendall Stillwell, L, Bear Creek; Amelia Metzler, setter/RS, Chatfield; Anne-Liese Golletz, M, Chatfield; Hannah Boyle, OH, Columbine; Debbie Martinez, L, Dakota Ridge; Raegen Jackson, MB, Lakewood; Kate Pierro, MB, Lakewood; Julia Baskin, OH, Pomona; Simone Gibeau, OH, Ralston Valley; Ali Williams, OH, Ralston Valley

Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info
|Less than a year after his first genre-defining volume of the Down South Bounce series, DJ Jelly returned with a second volume. For the most part, he sticks with the same no-frills approach that made the first volume such a success: He spins some of the most acknowledged Dirty South club anthems and plays it safe in terms of mixing the records, for better or worse. Some of the highlights here include Trick Daddy and Trina's "Nann Nigga," Three 6 Mafia's "Tear da Club Up '97," Eightball & MGJ's "Pimp in My Own Rhyme," Goodie Mob's "They Don't Dance No Mo'," and Master P and Mia X's "Bout It, Bout It." Considering just these songs, Down South Bounce, Vol. 2 certainly has no shortage of classics. Unfortunately, though these aforementioned songs are indeed some of the best Dirty South anthems from the late '90s, there are a few questionable inclusions on this mix; in particular, the latter half of the mix features a number of relatively underground tracks that aren't going to be familiar to most casual listeners and are admittedly not on par with the rest of the mix. Had Jelly kept dropping nothing but classics as he does on the first half of the mix, this volume could arguably have surpassed the first volume in terms of quality. But that isn't the case and, as a result, these latter songs spoil what could have been a flawless mix. Furthermore, Jelly's mixing leaves much to be desired here as well. Sure, he was no Grandmaster Flash on Vol. 1 either, but here you really wonder what's so special about this guy -- any part-time DJ could pull off these mixes. Beyond the few lackluster songs and the at-times shoddy mixing, Down South Bounce excels, particularly for a fully licensed and legal Dirty South mix album. Vol. 1 is still the place to begin, but this second volume is worth seeking out as well if you like what you hear on the first. ~ Jason Birchmeier

If a bully picks on me, should I fight back?
- Cole*
Standing up to bullies doesn't mean you have to have a physical fight with them. Most of the time, you don't have to fight. There are almost always more effective ways to deal with bullies — ways that are better for you.
Sometimes, though, people feel they need to (or want to) fight a bully. They may feel that they are being physically threatened right at that moment and need to protect themselves. They may think fighting back will teach the bully a lesson or be the best way to escape. Some people may feel pressured by others to fight back when they don't really want to. That's never a good reason to fight.
There's no easy answer to the question about when someone should fight back physically. Some bullies don't actually want to fight. They just like to intimidate others. Other bullies back down without a fight if the person they're targeting stands up to them. But some bullies like to get into a fight. They might like to cause pain to others — or feel pain themselves.
Fighting can get dangerous. A fight can lead to serious injuries. The bully might have a weapon. Fighting may make the bully feel he or she has to come back later with a weapon or friends to help — and the whole thing can get out of control.
What can people who are being bullied do to feel more in control and able to defend themselves? If you're being bullied, talk with a responsible adult, such as a parent, teacher, counselor, or coach. They can get involved to help.
In some cases, it also might be necessary to get help from the police. After all, if a bully physically attacks someone, it's assault — and that's a crime. If a bully uses a weapon or threatens to use one, it can result in severe penalties for the bully, including expulsion from school, arrest, and even prison.
For people who want to build skills and improve confidence, taking self-defense classes can help. Even for people who never need to use self-defense skills, just learning them can be very helpful.
In a few rare situations, fighting back may be the only way out at that moment. But fighting back physically is only a good idea when there is no other choice to avoid injury. In almost all other cases, there are better, more effective, and safer choices.
