Palm Beach Modern Auctions' Feb. 24, 2019 Urban Culture, Pop & Contemporary Art live auction includes several lots of Apollo mission memorabilia consigned by the son of Cal Beauregard, the Ford Motor Company's Public Relations garage in New York City.
The consignor's father was in charge of the Ford Motor Company's Public Relations garage in New York City during the time of the Apollo missions, and provided transportation to visiting dignitaries and VIPs. He developed friendships with several of the astronauts, who over the years presented him with various pieces of signed mission memorabilia, which he then passed to his son. The consignor and his father preserved supporting documentation and ephemera to accompany each piece.
