Hollywood Memorabilia Hits the Auction Block: Aumann Auctions Showcases Iconic Film Cars
NOKOMIS, Ill., April 10, 2024 – Aumann Auctions is proud to announce the acquisition of 10 vehicles featured in the Oscar-nominated movie “Killers of the Flower Moon,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro. These iconic cars, which played pivotal roles in bringing David Grann’s bestselling non-fiction book to life on the big screen, are set to be featured in their upcoming Pre-30 auction being held on May 2nd.
“Killers of the Flower Moon,” follows the investigation into a series of murders targeting wealthy Osage Native Americans for their oil wealth. Directed by Martin Scorsese and filmed in Oklahoma to maintain authenticity, the movie provides a chilling portrayal of a dark chapter in American history.
Among the standout vehicles in this collection are the Dodge Brothers Touring Car, a Ford Model T Speedster, a Chevrolet Touring Car, an Overland Touring Car and several Ford Model AA’s. These timeless cars have traveled quite a distance to become part of their auction lineup.
“These vehicles offer a glimpse into the era depicted in the book,” says Tim Woods, picture car coordinator for the film. “Working with Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro was a pleasure; they understood the value of these century-old cars and were patient and understanding throughout the production.”
With nearly 30 years of experience and over 75 major movie productions under his belt, Tim Woods is no stranger to the meticulous process of selecting and acquiring movie cars. From “Dukes of Hazzard” to “Mission Impossible” and “2 Fast 2 Furious,” Tim’s expertise ensures that every detail, from make and model to interior design, is meticulously coordinated.
Kurt Aumann President and CEO of Aumann Auctions stated, “A previous client contacted me seeking a specific type of vehicle for an upcoming movie production. During our conversation, they mentioned their connection to the picture car coordinator of a recent film. This led to my introduction to Tim, and ultimately, the acquisition of 10 authentic movie cars from the production ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’.”
