Kruse’s 38th Annual Scottsdale Classic Car Auction to Sell Two Pebble Beach Winne

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 14, 2009 -- Scottsdale, AZ – Kruse International has had a spectacular beginning of 2009 with a record breaking auction in Boca Raton, South Florida early January. It is now time to gear up for even warmer airs for the Annual 38th Scottsdale Classic Car Auction and Expo to take place in Phoenix, AZ during four days of unbelievable thrill. The sale promises to bring over one thousand of the finest vehicles to cross the block during January 23rd through the 25th at the popular Arizona State Fairgrounds.

One of the main feature cars of the sale is a very rare 1937 Cord Beverly Limo. This car is not only a Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance winner, but it is also one of the first cars in history to have front wheel drive. Cord, a synonym of success and innovation in the auto industry, made just a little less than 3,000 vehicles during 1930 and 1937. A total of 1,146 1937 Cord 810/812 Beverly were sold before production stopped. The Supercharge Beverly Cord was known to be the fastest car of its time. The company used the “any driver that passes the Super-Charged Cord does so only with the Cord driver's permission" slogan to promote the “coffin-nosed” style cars. This Cord Limo was commissioned by E.L Cord and is one of three of its kind to ever be built.
Another Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance winner to be sold during the 38th Annual Scottsdale Classic Car Auction and Expo is a 1912 Mitchell Brass Runabout. Mitchell Motor Car Co. started producing vehicles in 1903 and run its last production in 1923. This 1912 Mitchell Brass being put at auction was made at a time that the Mitchell Co designed its vehicles on a 130-inch wheelbase powered by a 60 horsepower 6-cylinder engine with a charge gear, three speeds forward with reverse transmission. This was the highest horsepower roadster built by Mitchell.

Other feature cars scheduled to cross the block during the Annual 38th Scottsdale Classic Car Auction and Expo ia a very rare 1911 Renault Grand Tour Car with high horsepower and one of only a handful in the world, a 1914 Queens Town Car with gas and electric combo power one of only three known to exist, a 1957 Chevrolet Corvette Fuellie Convertible, a 1963 Ford Galaxie XL, a special built one of a kind 1952 Packard Woodie Town and Country Convertible, a 1971 Dodge Charger R/T, and a 1971 Jaguar XKE Series III.
