During its Auburn Sale (Indiana, US), RM Sotheby's is going to auction this splendid 1934 Packard Eight 2/4-Passenger Coupe for about $US 130,000.

Classic...

Contest

With this beautiful lot, I launch my first contest to win the Steem Power generated by this post (generally around 2,5 Steem).
Find out at what price will this vehicle be sold (or unsold)?
The closest will win the reward (distributed equally between the winners).

RULES:

Upvote and give your answer in comment (US$).
You can resteem (this is not an obligation). But the more people upvote, the greater the reward.

UPDATE:
The result will be known only after the June 1st (I was sure the sale will be this weekend...).

Good luck to everyone.

History of the Packard Eight

The Packard Eight was a luxury car produced from 1930 to 1938, successor of the Packard Six. This 1934 example is known as the Eleventh Series (the most desirable for collectors), with the open fenders and the tombstone-shaped radiator shell (a Packard trademark).

This seris was presented in August 1933 and produced until next August.

Despite many models and body styles, the Packard Eight didn't have the expected success because of the Great Depression... 8,000 cars were produced during this year.

Specification

The Packard Eight Series 2/4-passenger coupe has 320 cu inline 8 cylinder engine mated to 3 speed manual transmission. The chassis has the adjustable Ride Control suspension for a better driving.

This model was fully restored and finished in medium blue with contrasting light blue pinstriping over a grey interior. Beautiful dashboard with this huge steering wheel...
