Steve McQueen’s Last Ride In Auction
February 05, 2013Of all the sleek and expensive automobiles associated with Steve McQueen, the least likely was probably the yellow 1951 Chevrolet Styleline DeLuxe Convertible that he drove in his last movie, “The Hunter” in 1980. All the same, McQueen loved the car and bought it at the production’s conclusion. Since then, it’s changed hands just once, in 1984, at the liquidation of McQueen’s estate. Almost 30 years later, it’s coming up for sale again at a Fort Lauderdale auction on March 22-24. Without the McQueen provenance, its value would be about $45,000. With it, the final selling price is expected to be much, much more.
