One of the most beautiful Ferraris ever made, a 1959 250 GT Series 1 Cabriolet (above), is expected to fetch over $2.2 Million at Gooding & Company's Scottsdale sale on Jan. 23. One of only 40 Series 1 Pininfarina Cabriolets ever built, upon its completion the car was immediately shipped to the United States to be proudly displayed on Ferrari's New York Auto Show stand, and the sale marks the first time one of coveted models has crossed the auction block in many years. Also on offer: a highly prized 1956 Jaguar D-Type Sports Racer, painted cream with blue racing stripes, expected to fetch above $3.5 million; and a stunning 1959 Costin Lister Jaguar Sports Racer, estimated at $1.5 million.
