Auburn, IN. March 5, 2018. - Worldwide Auctioneers has confirmed that its 17th annual Texas auction will include an exciting No Reserve collection of motorcars, expertly assembled over many years by well-known Texas collector and franchised dealer, Eugene Knies. The Collection of Pamela and Eugene Knies comprises 78 cars, featuring high line exotics and a myriad of low mileage motorcars, spanning the decades. “It is unusual to come across such a striking collection of low mileage and largely original vintage American cars and modern exotics, distinctive for their condition and the obvious care that has been expended on them”, said John Kruse, Principal & Auctioneer. “Mr. Knies was a knowledgeable and passionate collector and we are happy to be in position to offer this outstanding Collection in Texas next month, entirely without reserve”.
