San Francisco Academy of Art Car Collection Auction

. 5 min read.Gallery images42

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.
