"Cars are meant to be driven" is a common refrain I hold dear to my heart, but I'm not self-centered enough to think everyone shares my sentiments. The late Richard Welkowitz certainly didn't — and now his collection of barely used cars is going up for auction soon.
The Richard Welkowitz Estate Collection will be held during Mecum Auctions' Indy 2020 auction in Indianapolis, Indiana, this summer.
