Drivers' ed.

Now available, with deep backstory: this 1933 Rolls-Royce Phantom II, up for auction on eBay with a starting bid of $1.1 million. The drop-top ride was commissioned by Woolworth heiress Barbara Huttonthe Blair Waldorf of her dayfor Alexis Mdivani, the Georgian prince and Hutton's first husband. Mdivani was killed in France while driving it shortly after their divorce; his passenger, Maude von Thyssen, Salvador Dali's lover, was injured but emerged from the wreck alive. The car was restored by the original designer and is currently in storage in North Carolina. If the vehicle's history and design aren't enough to entice, consider its odometerafter 75 years, it's only racked up 9,999 miles.
