Gooding & Company holds the unique honor and privilege of presenting Selections From The Mullin Collection Auction in-person at the Mullin Automotive Museum in Oxnard, California. Respected visionary Peter Mullin was deeply revered in the collector car world, not only for his world-renowned collection consisting of the finest and most exquisite French and European automobiles, but also for his enduring legacy as a philanthropist and distinguished businessman. Mr. Mullin’s appreciation, enthusiasm and knowledge of prewar French and Art Deco cars were simply unprecedented in the industry and beyond.
This auction offers a selection of lots without reserve, providing a brilliant selection of automotive history for every level of collector. Gooding & Company will house all available lots at the Mullin Automotive Museum, providing interested bidders the unique opportunity to conduct on-site inspections of the online offerings and interact with our marque expert specialists.
