#14 – 1948 Norman Timbs Special
This pristine beauty wasn’t always so graceful, especially in the 1990s. It lived in the desert and just deteriorated too much. However, in 2002, it was sold for the sum of $17,600 during a Barrett Jackson auction. The new owner began a restoration. The body of the car was about 90% original. The 2010 Amelia Island Concours saw its restoration debut where it won ‘The RM Auctions Trophy For the Best Open Car.’ Sadly, in 2018, the car was destroyed in a the California fire labeled the ‘Camp Fire.’ 2018 is the most destructive wildfire season on record in California.
