The Ruxton owners & caretakers were wonderful folks.

Generous with their time & enthusiastic to share with others about these rare rides.

IIRC, no more than 100 were made. There were 2 factories, 1 in the US, the other in Europe.

Only 19 cars exist today.

Designed by William J. Muller, he worked together with Archie M. Andrews to produce them 1929-1932 under the name New Era Motors (note below license plate).

I crossed paths with a good friend of the owner multiple times on the display field. He eventually introduced himself & I learned he had driven the car repeatedly. Out of nowhere while we talked, he insisted I sit in it. It wasn't the type of invitation you turn down, & for a car guy it was a once in a life opportunity -- even it hadn't been at Pebble Beach for the famous Concours.

As he told me to stand on the seat, he told me the car's worth ~$20M USD ... which seemed like a set-up for a practical joke. I instantly stopped to repeat: "So, it's worth that much & you want me to stand directly on the seat?"

IIRC, he himself has had a vehicle compete in the PB Concours for the last 20 years.

Yet another example of how amazingly enthusiastic & friendly the competitors with cars at PB were, eager to even let you get your hands (& feet ) all of over these artifacts of automotive achievement & history




Photos of the interior as I climbed back out:




It travels the world for gatherings like the Goodwood Festival of Speed:
