Bidders hailed from seven countries and 29 states across the United States.

Top result at Auctions America Fall Carlisle 2012 went to a 1958 Chrysler 300D Convertible, one of less than 20 of its kind known to exist, which sold for $90,750.

“We are very happy with the results from our Fall Carlisle sale and thrilled to have joined forces with the Carlisle Events team once again to deliver another memorable collector car weekend for enthusiasts,” says Donnie Gould, president Auctions America by RM. “Since hosting our first auction in Carlisle last year, the auction has continued to grow with bidder registrations up almost 25 percent.
