In the 1970s, truck manufacturer Roger Baillon fell upon hard times, and was forced to sell an automobile collection that was over two decades in the making. As Artcurial’s Matthieu Lamoure and Pierre Novikoff recently discovered, only a portion of his holdings crossed the block, while the remainder were passed down through children and grandchildren. Now, the collection’s time in the spotlight has come again, and next February the French auction firm Artcurial will be offering the remaining cars from the Baillon collection at its Retromobile sale in Paris. -
