Great selection of cars offered for sale by Gooding&Co at Pebble Beach during Monterey car week. Blown away by the caliber of inventory, and they know how to present their goods!

San Francisco Academy of Art Car Collection Auction

Apr 21, 2025. 5 min read.42

What used to be The Academy of Art University Automobile Museum is no more. 104 pre and post-war automobiles in an exhibition condition got sold off at Saturday auction on February 15th, 2025 for $14.5 million in total. I got a chance to see them gathered in one somewhat cramped place for the last time, and snap pictures representing a great palette of an automotive history. Cars from the collection were used by art students, and it's easy to see why - I found it very inspirational.
