This hidden 40+ car and 70+ bike collection is the lifework of Marcel Sprangers, a Belgian industrialist who started collecting classics in the beginning of the year 2000 and created his own private museum over the years.
The collection includes some of the great US brands from the early days of automotive to more recent decades, as well as examples of the 2 major Belgian names in the history of the automobile: Minerva and FN.
Highlights include a 1939 iconic Lincoln Zephyr twelve coupe, a 1929 Auburn 8-90 convertible sedan, a 1939 Cadillac series 61 convertible sedan, a 1930 Pierce Arrow sedan, a 1929 Packard 640 coupe as well as several Corvettes of different generations including some very rare conversions.
There are also some rare US sportscars such as a Glasspar G2, Kellisson roadster and a Canadian La Dawri.
The entire car collection will be auctioned by Bernaerts Auctioneers on September 5th. Viewing days will be held from 1 to 3 September in the Sprangers museum in Minderhout in the north of Belgium, close to the Dutch border.
The motor bike sale will be held in Spring 2024.
