more than 100 cars from the Academy of Art University Collection in San Francisco (how is that not the entire collection?) are getting auctioned off in Feb 2025 (thanks George! )


 I posted about the university collection in 2015, because the university had a program based on the collection, for Automotive Restoration

I'm guessing that without this collection, the university has cancelled that program. Probably not a lot of students in San Francisco signing up to pay to learn automotive restoration on 100 year old cars. Probably. I could be wrong, but, if I'm wrong, then why is the university selling it's car collection? 

Unusual connection between this university and Jaguar, Jaguar Design Director Ian Callum reviewed the work of the restoration students, who spent their summer semester designing and creating concepts for year 2030 Jaguar automobile interior designs. The Academy was one of the two universities Jaguar selected for corporate sponsorship in America.
