August's Two Big Draws: Monterey's Classics and Hollywood's Own History

August's auction results settled into two clear lanes: the classic cars that come out every year for Monterey Car Week, and the costumes, props, and other Hollywood memorabilia that trace back to the town's soundstages. Both stood out from the broader run of sales that closed the month on the block. For a Los Angeles readership, the strength of Hollywood material in a national tally is a familiar story — the industry's history keeps finding collectors willing to bid. Monterey's cars, for their part, remain the annual proof that car culture and the auction world meet every August on the Central Coast.
