Broad Arrow Auctions will feature over 100 rare collector cars from the Academy of Art University Museum in February 2025.
Broad Arrow Auctions, a Hagerty company, is set to showcase the Academy of Art University Collection in a stand-alone auction on February 15, 2025, in San Francisco. The event will feature more than 100 collector cars from the Academy’s renowned automobile museum, each offered without reserve. The collection reflects decades of careful curation by Dr. Richard Alan Stephens, former president of the Academy, and his daughter, Dr. Elisa Stephens, who now leads the institution.
The museum has served as a source of inspiration for the university’s students, emphasizing the connection between art, design, and automotive history. As the Academy modernizes its collection to align with contemporary design education, these vehicles are being passed on to enthusiasts and collectors who share a passion for preserving automotive heritage.
“This collection represents milestones in automotive history and design, offering a range of vehicles to suit diverse collector interests,” said Caroline Cassini, Senior Car Specialist at Broad Arrow Auctions and an alumna of the Academy. Dr. Elisa Stephens expressed excitement about seeing these cars join new collections worldwide, continuing their legacy.
