Based in the rolling plains of Marshall, Texas, the wide-ranging collection amassed by Gene Ponder encompassed everything from posters and neon art to large-scale models and memorabilia of nearly all types. Automobiles, too, were well-represented, with uncommon motor cars like Arnolt-Bristol and hard-to-find models, like the MG PB Airline Coupe, included in the sale. Ferrari was a particular favorite of Mr. Ponder, and the variety of prancing horse-themed motor cars, memorabilia, and even motorcycles would impress even the most experienced European car fan. With a 100% sell-through rate, the 1,163 lots of automobiles and automobilia all found new homes thanks to the dedicated work of the RM Sotheby’s team and the careful curation of Mr. Ponder.
