Classic California
Bonhams & Butterfields celebrated the sixth year of its famed auctions of exceptional motorcycles, motorcars and automobilia on 25 October 2008, during California Bike Week, the kick-off to Love Ride Weekend. The auction was held at the prestigious Petersen Automotive Museum. An international crowd of collectors competed for the Bruce Willis Collection, for Steve McQueen memorabilia from his first wife’s collection, and for vintage motorbikes -- with strong prices realized.
Having become a must-attend event in Hollywood for custom culture and motoring aficionados of all genres, the Bonhams’ autumn “Classic California” sale demonstrated once again why the 214-year-old auction house is a leader in the domain of collector cars, motorcycles, art and antiques. Bonhams will return to the Petersen Museum to hold an auction of important motorcycles, motorcars and memorabilia in October 2009.
