Aristotle and Jackie Onassis' 1952 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith to be auctioned by Red Baron, Atlanta : GlobalGiants.com

View Larger Picture

ATLANTA, Sept. 13 -- The excitement is here with Red Baron's Fall Auction. This time Red Baron will auction off Jackie and Aristotle Onassis' personal car. Their custom-made 1952 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith is on the block at Red Baron's Auction 75, October 13-14 in Atlanta, GA.

With Jackie O.'s style and grace one can only imagine the elegance and class of their automobile. This 1952 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith is a two passenger, chauffer driven, left-hand drive, bullet-proof car, with all of the luxuries of its time. It is a one off production and speaks of sovereignty all the way to the hood emblem of the kneeling lady, which was only placed on the cars of royalty. It was used exclusively for their trips between Paris and Monte Carlo, and belonged to Aristotle and Jackie until his death in 1975.

"Never have we been graced with a such a presence," said Bob Brown, owner of Red Baron, "as that of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. She embodies the style, grace, character and history that we seek in each of our pieces. We are privileged to have this car, as will be its new owner." |GlobalGiants.com|
