1963 Mercury Comet, Wurlitzer Jukebox & Vintage Americana

This extensive 634-lot auction in Independence, Missouri, features a remarkable assortment of antiques, Mid Century Modern décor, vintage advertising, breweriana, glassware, pottery, toys, dolls, household furnishings, and Americana spanning much of the 20th century. From Depression-era glass and 1950s kitsch to 1960s automotive styling and 1970s advertising, the catalog includes an unusually broad variety of styles and categories.

Leading the auction is a 1963 Mercury Comet Convertible, finished in red with a white convertible top and black-and-white interior. Equipped with an inline six-cylinder gasoline engine and automatic transmission, this garage-stored classic retains many of its period features and offers an opportunity for restoration. The vehicle is not currently running, the tires are flat, and towing or trailer transport will be required.

Another standout is a Wurlitzer 3700 Multi-Selector Phonograph Jukebox, featuring a blue and wood-grain cabinet and colorful illuminated display. The jukebox lights up, although playback has not been verified.
