| About The Worldwide Group |
Formed by two long time automobile enthusiasts, The Worldwide Group reflects the background of the Principals who literally grew up in the auction business. Rod C. Egan and John Kruse have held management/partnership positions at leading auction companies throughout the United States, refining their trade working and learning from some of the best collector car enthusiasts and owners in the business.In April, 2005 in Seabrook, TX (near Houston) the Worldwide Group held its inaugural auction - The Houston Classic - with world record sales. An impressive array of vintage vehicles and wooden boats were sold with an overall sales rate at 90% and sales totaling $7 million. At the sale, The Worldwide Group offered a piece of automotive history which set an auction world record when it crossed the block and sold at $1.1 million. A singularly important Alfa Romeo, the foundation of Enzo Ferrari's world famous Scuderia Ferrari, and very first car, "8513033" ordered by Scuderia Ferrari, brought bidders from all over the world. This historical piece was brought to the United States for the very first time for this auction and was presented to the collector community at a special preview/press party hosted by Ferrari of Houston. The Worldwide Group also handles appraisals, collection management and acquisitions, estate planning, real estate properties and private treaty sales.
