A collection of over 200 vintage Fords, some dating to the 1920s, will be one of the top draws when Mecum Auctions brings its annual car collector sale to Dallas next week.
The collection, amassed by the late Rhett Butler over 20 years, includes what organizers describe as the Texan’s favorites – almost two dozen 1933 and 1934 three-window Ford coupes. Mecum estimates each is worth $40,000 to $80,000.
Butler, who made his fortune as a cattle rancher in Paraguay, also owned a 1939 Lincoln Zephyr, one of only 640 convertibles made that year, and a 1932 Ford Hi-Boy Roadster.
