Art Aston was a man known for many things. A dedicated businessman,
loving father and grandfather and first rate soldier, Art was also
known for his incredible devotion to the automobile. Russo and
Steele is proud to present in Monterey, California the last
remaining automobiles in Art Astors legendary collection. The
Devotion Collection features the cars truly closest to Arts heart.
These fourteen remaining offerings are vehicles that Art felt so
passionately about that he kept them the closest to him, through
the end of his life and include prime examples of Pre and Post War
American Classics, American Luxury Cars and European Sports Cars.
This 1937 Dodge convertible presented from the Art Astor collection
is one of only 1345 produced and it is thought that only a dozen or
so remain today. It is powered by a 217 horsepower I-6 motor that
produces 87 horsepower. The engine has been recently detailed and
presents well. The interior is finished in red leather that is in
excellent condition with no issues noted. It is finished in light
yellow and is fitted with fender skirts and fog lights. A very
unusual and rare convertible that has recently been serviced and is
ready for exciting touring.
