“At most collector car auctions, you can learn a lot about the particular cars on offer — when they were made, their special features and, eventually, what the market says they’re worth,” said Linkage Publisher, CEO of Audrain Group, and noted automotive author, Donald Osborne . “But that’s not the whole story. We will take seminar participants in a time machine, back to when the cars were designed, built and driven and find out a bit of why these cars have transcended their time to become icons.”
