“Many car collectors know that Fred and Elaine Goulden housed their massive collection of cars, along with their antique trains, model airplanes and other vintage toys in two large buildings in Coolidge and Miami, Arizona,” Josh Levine, J. Levine owner and auctioneer, says. “They were former Paradise Valley residents who were so passionate about collecting, that they moved to Coolidge for more space and turned their building into a museum more than two decades ago.”

The Goulden estate collection of cars and toys will be auctioned throughout the rest of the year at J. Levine’s Scottsdale auction house located at 10345 N. Scottsdale Rd., in Scottsdale, on the southeast corner of Shea Boulevard and Scottsdale Road. The first three-day auction takes place Thursday, Friday and Saturday, September 29, 30 and October 1. Doors open at 9 a.m. with the auctions starting at 11 a.m. each day.
