Legendary rock star Lou Gramm, former lead singer of the band Foreigner, will make an appearance to sign autographs at Mecum’s St. Charles Auction at Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, Ill., on Friday, Oct. 2, 2009, where four of his classic automobiles will go up for auction.
Gramm, now a successful solo artist (seen here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSGpwf9SNVE) performing), will watch as his cars cross the auction block Oct. 2 starting at 7:20 p.m. His collection includes a 4-speed 1962 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible ZZ3 350 CI (Lot F197); a 1965 Pontiac GTO 2-door Sedan 400 CI, automatic (Lot F198); a 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS Sport Coupe with Blower (Lot F199); and a 5-speed 1956 Chevrolet 210 2-door Sedan 350 CI (Lot F200).
