This is your final opportunity to own a piece of the legendary JB Hodgdon collection. The Exclusive Encore Auction presents the last two remaining vehicles from this remarkable estate—an ending that collectors won’t want to miss.
To complete the offering of this collection, these two vehicles are being presented in a separate auction event. The 1928 Ford Model A Roadster was previously withdrawn to allow for additional administrative processing and is now ready to be offered. The 1949 Mercury Woody Wagon returns to market after the prior high bidder did not fulfill their purchase obligations. Both vehicles are now available again, offering bidders a renewed opportunity to acquire these exceptional automobiles.
Rich in history, character, and craftsmanship, these vehicles represent the spirit of classic American motoring and the prestige of a carefully curated collection. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or seeking a standout showpiece, this is your chance to secure one of the final crown jewels. When the hammer falls, the JB Hodgdon automotive legacy will officially close—bid with confidence and be part of its final chapter. Bid to win today!
