This 1935 Duesenberg went for $4.5 million at an auction at Amelia Island, Fla.

Meet the belle of Amelia Island, Fla., the car that fetched the most at one auction house's big event this past weekend at one of the USA's premier car displays.

This 1935 Duesenberg Model SJ Walker-LaGrande Convertible Coupe, one of three produced and the only supercharged one made, went for $4.5 million over the weekend. That made it the top seller for RM Auctions, according to the auction house.

It outdistanced the second-highest bid for a classic car by a country mile. A restored 1933 Stutz DV32 Convertible Victoria went for $1.5 million.

RM says 92% of the cars it put on the block sold, and receipts totaled $26.8 million.
