A 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Freestone & Webb Sedanca de Ville vehicle stands on display during the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in Pebble Beach, California, U.S., on Sunday, Aug. 20, 2017. Official estimates for the Pebble Beach auctions this week have set sales totals at $290 million, down 14 percent since 2016. The downshift in overall sales isn't for lack of funds among buyers, but rather a decrease that comes because classic cars of this caliber are a finite resource.
