CRANSTON, R.I. – An Estate Fine Art & Antiques Auction featuring 325 lots ranging from a show-quality 1994 Corvette Greenwood G350SC roadster to an oil on canvas seascape of a large sailing vessel in choppy waters by Richard K. Loud (Mass., b. 1942) will be held on Saturday, Oct. 5, by Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers. Bid absentee or live online through LiveAuctioneers.

“Looking at that Greenwood Corvette makes me want to play Need for Speed and watch the original Fast and Furious movie,” mused Travis Landry, a Bruneau & Co. auctioneer and the company’s director of pop culture. “The body kit displays the perfect 1990s style. Outside of the car I’m sure with such an eclectic selection there will for sure be some surprises in the sale.”

The Corvette (above) is a white convertible with a red and black interior, showing 76,000 original miles on the odometer. Features include a super-charged 350ci V-8 fuel-injected engine, automatic transmission and chrome engine compartment with custom airbrush design under the hood. The car, in fine driving condition, is expected to roar off for $15,000-$20,000.

The seascape by Richard K. Loud depicts a large sailing vessel flying an American flag. Loud’s father was a shipbuilder who influenced his son’s interest in ship design. Loud then applied his interest in ships to his paintings, of which this is a fine example. The work (below) measures 38 inches by 26 inches and is signed “RKLoud” and framed. It’s expected to garner $3,000-$5,000.
