Shot RM's classic car auction at Meadowbrook today for a short Times
article. Among many great cars that went on the block were two
Deusenbergs, a few Rolls, a Stutz Bearcat, and an Auburn Speedster.
But top dollar was paid for a Chrysler: the 1953 Thomas Special.
Designed by Virgil Exner, it was a styling exercise that was actually
produced and driven by Chrysler's CEO. I believe it has the early 331
cubic inch version of the first Chrysler hemi V8. It went for $840,000.
