1963 Ferrari 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso (Lot S126)

Among the highlights of this year’s event is a selection of significant Ferraris, prewar classics and highly collectible modern supercars. A pair of Ferrari icons elevate the Monterey lineup, led by a 1996 Ferrari F50, chassis No. 106690, that’s one of just 31 examples finished in Giallo Modena and No. 239 of 349 F50s produced in all. Its auction-bound counterpart is a 1963 Ferrari 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso , chassis No. 4635, the 79th of just 350 examples produced between 1962 and 1964. Renowned for its elegant Pininfarina styling and exceptional grand touring character, the Lusso represents one of Ferrari’s most celebrated road-going designs of the 1960s.

1933 Duesenberg Model J Disappearing-Top Convertible Coupe (Lot S125)

Also commanding attention is a 1933 Duesenberg Model J Disappearing-Top Convertible Coupe, featuring its original chassis, engine and bodywork. As one of America’s most prestigious prewar automobiles, the Model J exemplifies the craftsmanship, engineering and bespoke coachwork that established Duesenberg as an icon of the classic era. From the European front and representing the pinnacle of Gemballa’s bespoke Porsche conversions is the 2004 Gemballa Mirage GT , chassis No. 24 of 25 and the final bespoke Mirage GT completed in sequence by Gemballa.

Powered by Ducati’s iconic 748cc L-twin engine, the 750SS is among the marque’s most sought-after motorcycles, while the Imola Racer represents an important piece of Ducati’s competition history.
