Proxibid (www.proxibid.com), the world’s most trusted way to
connect buyers and sellers of highly valued items, will provide
online bidding for the Ron Hackenberger Collection, conducted by
VanDerBrink Auctions in partnership with JF Marketing/Auction &
Real Estate Services. The private collection, assembled over
decades by one man, features more than 700 orphan, unique, micro,
and highly collectible cars. The sale will take place July 15-16 at
9 AM Eastern in Norwalk, OH.
Ron Hackenberger started his collection with a 1948 Studebaker,
beginning a lifelong pursuit of the most unique and one-of-a-kind
models in the world, including a collection of microcars, trucks,
American muscle cars, motorcycles and much more. The private
collection will be auctioned in its entirety at no reserve. With
many of the top lots already garnering bids, this auction is sure
to catch the attention of the car collecting community.
In this auction, buyers will find all types of cars, including
restored, originals, project cars, and parts cars. Some of the
unique items up for bid include:
- 1965 Amphicar Model 770 Convertible:
It’s a car and a boat. With less than 4,000 built in a single
generation, this rare vehicle drives on both land and water via a
rear motor. Production of these quirky vehicles halted in 1965, and
this example was assembled in that final production year.
- 1958 BMW Isetta 300 Coupe: As one of
the most well-known microcars, the Isetta is an egg-shaped,
single-cylinder car with unique flair that will attract collectors
of all types.
- 1958 Packard Supercharged Hawk: The
Packard Hawk, each model assembled with a two-door hardtop body
style, was produced for just one year, making it extremely rare.
This example is finished in a 50s-familiar light pink.
- 1947 Indian Chief Roadmaster
Motorcycle: Indian motorcycles are a vintage piece of Americana,
and the example for auction, finished in cream and black leather,
comes with a sidecar.
“This one-owner collection is one of the most unique seen in
years, and a can’t miss opportunity to see rare cars cross the
auction block,” said Yvette VanDerBrink, owner and auctioneer of
