Having a piece of this amazing collection would be great for any car collector!
At the upcoming Spring Carlisle 2023 auction, the presentation of the Roger Metzgar Collection will join the fun. Coming from the namesake of Mr. Roger Metzgar of Warren, the Pennsylvania collector is a 1960 Penn State graduate, and owner and president of Warren-based North Penn Pipe and Supply. Over the years, he has amassed a collection of more than 20 cars that will cross the auction block on April 21, 2023. Here are some of those highlights.
1978 Chevrolet Corvette 35th Anniversary
The 1978 model year marked the 25th anniversary of the Chevrolet Corvette. To celebrate this important milestone, General Motors completely redesigned the body with new fastback styling. With the redesign, the American automaker also debuted a unique Anniversary Edition and a limited-edition replica of its Indy 500 pace car. The Anniversary edition cost an extra $399 for the special two-tone paint job, but it wasn't a limited model by any means with 15,283 sold. See it here.
1930 Packard 726
The slogan 'Ask the Man Who Owns One' is one of the most famous slogans in American History. It was the response given to most individuals when asked about a Packard. They were reliable, elegant, powerful, and quality automobiles. Their attention to detail and ingenuity were some of the key factors in making the company successful as Packard continued its strive for perfection and quality. See it here.
1955 Buick Century
Old Buicks are amazingly beautiful machines, and this 1955 Buick Century Custom certainly is no exception. While it’s obvious the exterior and interior have had some unique work done on them, this car is packing some serious muscle for an all-around amazing experience. See it here.
