Two years ago CARHUNTER announced an auto museum in NYC although it was only for a week!
http://carzhunt.blogspot.com/2013/11/art-of-automobile.html
RM Auctions and Sotheby's has done it again with Driven by Disruption!
To be clear it was not a new museum, but a very very high end vehicle auction!

I want to thank the organizers for being so gracious to invite the public in all week to enjoy a display of cars that most of would likely never be able to appreciate in person.
A link to the auction and results if you would like if the suspense is killing you!
Not all sold, some went below expectations and some just went crazy- I will post a few prices here.
I have posted most of the expected prices for each Lot, to be clear note the numbers because most are well INTO the millions!
