LOS ANGELES, CA.- Regarded as the industry’s leading West Coast-based auction house, Los Angeles Modern Auctions, today announced it will be adding a 1969 Glass Enterprises Bounty Hunter Dune Buggy to its upcoming auction. Considered a classic of 60s industrial design, drivers and design aficionados can all appreciate the detail of a well-crafted dune buggy.

“We are extremely excited to have this uniquely styled and customized piece of 60s pop culture,” said Peter Loughrey, Director of Modern Design & Fine Art at LAMA. “Not only does this design work to add to the overall auction content, but it enumerates our ability as an auction house to sell any medium of modern and industrial era art.”

Painted in a shockingly bright yellow, the 1969 Bounty Hunter Dune Buggy demands attention. Having taken one year complete in 1969, builder and owner, Bill Lazelere made sure no detail went overlooked. From the chrome details throughout, to the gas cap under the hood, and 1965 Renault windshield, it is truly a modern design masterpiece. The car has remained in mint condition since its completion and is a timeless classic. The name ‘Bounty Hunter’ is a nod to Steve McQueen’s television show, ‘Wanted Dead of Alive,’ after one car’s designers met McQueen when the movie star ran out of gas. The Dune Buggy is estimated to go for $30,000- $50,000.

Dune Buggies originated out of Burbank, California in the mid 60s era and grew in popularity after being featured in Hollywood films such as “The Big Bounce.” LAMA is excited to have such a time capsule piece of California pop culture to add to its already diversified 25th Anniversary Auction. The auction is set to take place October 22, 2017 at the Los Angeles Modern Auctions showroom at 12:00 p.m. 16145 Hart St., Van Nuys, CA 91406.
