Nearly three dozen cars collected by Carl Moyer, who turned a onevehicle showroom into Iowa's largest Chevrolet dealership, are going up for auction. Moyer died in September 2024, 36 years after founding Karl Chevrolet in Ankeny, Iowa. In addition to selling cars, Moyer loved collecting and racing them. His family has enlisted Mecum Auctions to sell most of his meticulously restored and maintained collection Jan. 17 in Florida. "Just maintaining a hot rod one is a lot of work," Jami Paulson, Moyer's granddaughter, told TV station KCCI in Des Moines. "They're kind of finicky sometimes. So having nearly 40 to take care of didn't really make sense anymore." Mecum estimates the value of the vehicles being sold at between $4.5 million and $6 million. The collection includes 25 Chevrolets, five Fords and a 1951 International Metro Snap-On Tools truck. More than half of the cars have less than 1,000 miles on the odometer, and many are custom builds.
卡尔·莫耶收藏的近三十辆汽车即将拍卖。莫耶将一家单车型展厅发展为爱荷华州最大的雪佛兰经销商，他于2024年9月去世，距其在爱荷华州安肯尼创立卡尔雪佛兰公司已有36年。除了销售汽车外，莫耶还热衷于收藏和驾驶赛车。他的家人已委托梅库姆拍卖行于1月17日在佛罗里达州出售他精心修复和保养的大部分收藏品。“仅仅维护一辆跑车就已经非常费力了，”莫耶的孙女贾米·保罗森对得梅因电视台KCCI表示，“它们有时还挺挑剔的。所以要照顾将近40辆车，实在不太现实。” 梅库姆估计这些车辆的拍卖价值在450万至600万美元之间。收藏包括25辆雪佛兰、5辆福特以及一辆1951年的国际Metro Snap-On Tools卡车。其中超过一半的汽车里程数不足1000英里，许多都是定制改装车型。 |
