1956 AC Petite Estimate: $2,500-$5,000 AC Cars, a small British manufacturer, built the Petite during the Suez Canal crisis that prevented oil from making its way to the U.K. The three-wheeler is powered by a motorcycle engine. According to RM, very few Petites are still in existence.

1930 Cadillac V-16 Sport Phaeton Estimate: $375,000-$450,000 Much higher on the price scale, this Cadillac is one of just 85 built. The V-16 Sport Phaeton was the second 16-cylinder engine to make it to production. The massive motor was constructed by bolting two eight-cylinder engines together, a design originally intended for aircraft.

1932 Pierce-Arrow Model 53 Estimate: $275,000-$375,000 RM Auctions says only three examples of the convertible Pierce-Arrow Model 53 are believed to exist. Pierce-Arrow, a former car maker owned by Studebaker, manufactured only six of them.

Chris-Craft 26’ Model 111 Runabout ‘Muse’ Estimate: $220,000-$260,000 Many Chris-Craft boats were owned by famous people, including Frank DuPont, William Randolph Hearst, Edsel Ford and K. Lee Guinness. The owner of the “Muse” was Charles Pearce, who served as president of Colgate-Palmolive after its merger.

1930 Cadillac V-16 Madame X Sedan Cabriolet Estimate: $140,000-$180,000 RM’s Madame X is the only known survivor in this style. It features a 452-cubic inch, 16-cylinder engine.

1896 Armstrong Phaeton Estimate: $550,000-$700,000 The Armstrong was one of six cars that entered a race hosted by “Cosmopolitan” magazine in New York around 1895. It was then placed on the market before returning to Armstrong’s factory in Bridgeport, Conn., where it remained until 1950.

1915 Stanley Model 820 12-Passenger Mountain Wagon Estimate: $200,000-$250,000 This Stanley is one of very few authentic Mountain Wagon models, and it’s the only known Model 820 with original bodywork. The car is well-known among Stanley fans. It was once owned by James Melton, a popular singer in the 1930s who had a collection of 150 vehicles.

1950 Jaguar XK120 Roadster Estimate: $100,000-$120,000 A matching-numbers car, the Jaguar underwent a body-off restoration that was completed in 1992.

1962 Porsche 356 B 1600 Hardtop Estimate: $90,000-$125,000 Another numbers-matching car is this 1962 Porsche, which was on display at the Cincinnati Museum of Art earlier this year. It was restored last year in Florida.

1957 Ford Thunderbird Estimate: $70,000-$100,000 One of the previous owners swapped a factory-supercharged, 300-horsepower engine from a rusty “F-code” Thunderbird into the version up for sale in Hershey.
