With so much incredible performance available in everyday cars today, the first great era of the motorcar is often overlooked.

But in fact, most of the technology we take for granted was developed by about 1915.  Many "Brass Era" cars- those produced from about 1903 to 1915- were not only solid performers, but also exceptionally well-engineered and built.

The Two Generations Collection holds many great examples of such machines, and it's being auctioned by Bonhams on April 29.  A father and son team assembled this collection over a period of six decades and now it's being sent on to a new group of enthiusiasts.

The auction kicks off another terrific event, the Second Annual Audrain Veteran Car Tour in Newport Rhode Island. In this episode, Bonhams Senior Specialist Evan Ide talks about some highlights of the auction as well as the distinct flavor and excitement  of touring in these veteran cars.
