Denver, Pa. – October 19, 2026 -- A 1932 Cadillac limousine registered to gangster Al Capone sold for $78,000 at Morphy's October 4 Automobilia, Petroliana & Advertising auction, edging out a 1964 Chevrolet Impala hardtop that fetched $74,400.
The sale offered more than 650 lots of motoring-related signage, service station items and vehicles. It was held live at Morphy's Pennsylvania gallery, with remote bidding available.
The Capone Cadillac comes with a paper trail
The 1932 Cadillac 355-B seven-passenger Imperial limousine has a Fisher body and a cream finish with burgundy fenders and accents. A binder documents nearly $95,000 of mechanical restoration, refurbishment and detailing by Classic & Exotic Service in 2011 and 2012. A New York Certificate of Sale names Alphonse "Al" Capone as the original purchaser and owner, and lists Rochelle Cadillac Co. of New Rochelle, New York, as the seller.
The Impala packs a dual-quad 409
The 1964 Chevrolet Impala is a St. Louis-built V-8 Super Sport hardtop with a silver-blue metallic finish and a coordinated blue bucket-seat interior. Its dual-quad 409-cubic-inch engine produces 425 horsepower with 11.0:1 compression. The odometer showed 52,659 miles. According to the auction report, the car started easily and drove very smoothly.
A 1906 Indian Camelback bicycle rolled home for $61,500
The third-highest lot was a 1906 Indian Camelback motorized bicycle built by The Hendree Manufacturing Company, later The Indian Motocycle Company. It was in barn-fresh condition and kept its factory Springfield Blue paint. The 2.25-hp air-cooled single-cylinder motor, production number 2877, was untouched with all major components intact. It turned over with good compression, the wheels spun freely and the brakes worked.
A rare Gilbarco pump beat its estimate
A Gilbarco gas pump from Northern California sold for $31,980, above its $30,000 high estimate. It is one of very few known examples with a porcelain Mohawk Indian computing face. Its condition was described as like new old stock, with perfect color and gloss, no notable wear to the Indian graphic, and a light that works.
Two porcelain signs more than doubled their estimates
A circa-1930s Zeroline ("The Standard Oil For Motor Cars") single-sided porcelain sign, 233⁄4 inches in diameter and graded 9.0 out of 10, sold for $28,800 against a $12,000 high estimate.
A circa-1930s single-sided porcelain flange sign for the Pickwick Stages Ticket Office, also graded 9.0, measures 283⁄4 by 251⁄2 inches. It reached $19,680 against an $8,000 high estimate.
