The most valuable car collection ever to be auctioned is coming this year, and it's incredible

What you're looking at here is what the RM Sotheby's auction house is calling the "Pinnacle Portfolio," a collection of roughly 30 post-World War II cars that Reuters reports could get over $65 million when they're individually auctioned at this August's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. To be clear, these cars are single-sourced — one person currently owns them. Shelby Myers of RM Sotheby's sums up the absurdity and anonymity of the collection pretty well: "While many of the world’s most impressive collections were established in the public eye of the car-collecting world, The Pinnacle Portfolio was assembled with a clandestine, surgical precision unlike any other that has come to market. Its almost obsessive focus on perfection, rarity, and the superlative, irrespective of price, makes it the most significant and valuable private collection of motor cars ever presented at auction."
