COPAKE, N.Y. — Copake Auctions celebrated its 33rd Annual Bicycle & Automobilia Auction on October 11, featuring the Steve Stevens collection from Colorado, Meltz Pedal Car Collection, the Marty Himes estate (The Himes Museum of Motor Racing Nostalgia, Bay Shore, N.Y.) and 120 antique and vintage bicycles from a European collector. In total, the auction comprised more than 830 lots in all ride-on categories as well as advertising, art and ephemera related to the hobbies. Racing to achieve the sale’s top price was a sprint car built in 1951 by Danny Hogan, having a custom chassis using components from a former midget car. Its engine, a 220 Offenhauser 11B, came from the Ernie Casale #14 Offy in 1951. A year later, the car was sold to Frankie Calandrillo (Frankie Cal), giving the new build, using his engine, its name — the Frankie Cal #52 Offy. Rebuilt in the 80s by Ken Hickey, this car and historical records were in the collection of the Himes Museum and sold at Copake to a Long Island, N.Y., collector for $36,000, including buyer’s premium ($25/35,000). Additional results from this auction will be featured in a future issue.
