World’s oldest car sells for $4.6 million

A steam-powered car, billed as the oldest car in the world that still runs, was sold at a Hershey, Pennsylvania auction late Friday for $4.6 million.

The auction company, RM Auctions, had estimated that the car would sell for about half that much. It represents the highest price ever paid for an early automobile at auction. The price includes a 10% <>buyer’s premium which goes to the auction company.
