Two cars in McMullen’s collection sold for more than $1 million, a 1931 Duesenberg Model J Tourster and a 1931 Cadillac V-16 Phaeton. In recent years McMullen’s secluded 300-acre estate has been a popular stopping place for members of high-end car clubs and a gathering place for charity events. McMullen has been a frequent face and winner at major car shows like the Concours D’Elegance events at Meadowbrook, Pebble Beach and Amelia Island. However, he decided to auction off the bulk of his collection to people who would use them rather than give them to museums because “cars are like people, if you don’t exercise them they go bad. McMullen added in recent years it’s simply become too much work to do the required maintenance work and enjoy the collection, so he decided to trim down to 20 vehicles he can go touring with.
