Omaha, NE─March 26, 2019─Proxibid, the most trusted way to connect buyers and sellers of highly valued items, has been selected to provide live online bidding for the 17th Annual Palm Beach Auction, presented by Barrett-Jackson, the World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions. The 17th Annual Palm Beach Auction will take place April 11-13, 2019 at the South Florida Fairgrounds. More than 500 lots of iconic ’50s luxury and ’60s muscle cars, as well as modern supercars, American classics and more will cross the auction block onsite in Palm Beach and live online on Proxibid. Prebidding in this auction is already available by visiting www.proxibid.com/barrett-jackson.
Included in this three-day extravaganza are vehicles from the World of Classics Collection, a collection of American iron amassed by Leif-Ivan Karlsson, a Swedish entrepreneur. Mr. Karlsson is an avid collector of American classics who opened his first World of Classics Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, and later opened a second museum near his home in Florida – bringing a total of nearly 70,000 square feet of classic American cars to enthusiasts both locally and abroad. Featured lots from the World of Classics Collection include a 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible (Lot #660.1), which is equipped with a Continental kit and is finished in pink with a matching pink-on-white interior, and this frame-off-restored blue-on-blue 1955 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible (Lot #660.2), which is one of only a limited number of convertibles produced that year.
