Yahoo Autos Bertone-beauty Aston Martin coupe from the Fifties is up for bid
Most Aston Martins of a certain era would deserve a place in the All-Time Gallery of Gorgeous Cars. A 1954 Aston Martin DB2/4 Coupe designed by Nuccio Bertone — best known, simply, as Bertone — would be among them.
This special coupe, with its sleek, understated shape, luscious metallic blue shade, and meticulous restoration, is scheduled to go to auction this Friday, December 8, at RM Sotheby’s in New York, and is expected to attract bids of between $1.2 million and $1.6 million.
The car’s history dates back to the early 1950s, when Midwestern businessman Stanley Arnolt began a relationship with the Italian coachbuilder, one that ultimately led to the creation of seven Aston Martins dressed by Bertone under Arnolt’s auspices. The car at auction was the only coupe.
