Northrop and Johnson Yachts Attends Larz Anderson Auto Museum Event
On Father’s Day, June 15th, Northrop and Johnson of the Massachusetts had the privilege of becoming one of the sponsors for the Larz Anderson Auto Museum’s German Car Day. This summer lawn event took place at the museum’s Brookline, Massachusetts location. Our broker, Richard Hamel, organized and manned our booth.
Despite the early rains a great day was had by all. Collectors from all over New England brought autos built by such well known marques as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Porsche and Volkswagen.
A few of the highlights included a 1960 Mercedes-Benz SL, valued at more than $500,000 and a classic Porsche Speedster worth more than $250,000. However, the car that attracted the most attention was the brand new Smart Car Pure which is built by Mercedes-Benz.
Many people stopped by the Northrop and Johnson booth to talk about their boats and the yachting lifestyle. I was pleased to find that a lot of car collectors are also yachtsmen. A
Retired Yacht Captain who is seeking to sell his classic 1977 47’ Concord came by and spun tales of the old days of yachting.
Attendees showed up asking questions about all sorts of boats. Everything from J24 sailboats to 40’ Tiaras and 65’ Sunseekers. Several people expressed interest in chartering yachts in the Caribbean and Mediterranean.
The event was such a success for Northrop and Johnson that we intend to participate in the Tutto Italiana coming up on August 3rd.
