Diva Maria Callas' Limousines Sell for Astronomical $240,000

Legendary soprano Maria Callas' two Mercedes Benz limousines, used to transport her between performances in Europe, have sold at auction in Monte Carlo for more than US $240,000.

Auctioned by Artcurial, a leading French auction house, the 1967 twin Mercedes Benz 600 limousines were purchased by a European collector for US $114,588 and $128,736 respectively.

One of the cars was fitted with a radio in the back, custom built for singers.

"This evening the bids matched the scale of the Prima Donna’s immense talent," Artcurial's Managing Director Matthieu Lamoure has told the press.
