摘要

The 19 rare cars coming up for a no-reserves auction by Christie's on Aug. 18 at Pebble Beach say lots about the temperament of William B. Ruger, their late owner. Ruger, who died at 86 in July, was an engineer and a fanatic, traits that show in his car collection. Those are also the qualities that enabled him to make the money to buy the cars. This magazine liked Bill Ruger, and said so more than once. In a 1992 profile we described the tweedy, brushy-mustached sportsman-industrialist as a cross between Teddy Roosevelt and Ernest Hemingway, while noting the uncanny ability of his Sturm, Ruger & Co. to prosper even as the gun industry slipped. The reason, simply, was Ruger himself. An impassioned, self-taught engineer―rightly compared in his obituaries with Samuel Colt and John Browning―he got his first gun (a .22 rifle) at age 12 from his father, a Brooklyn lawyer. Young Ruger read every book in the Brooklyn Public Library on guns. He captained his high school rifle team. In 1938, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he turned an empty room into a machine shop and began work on a machine gun. He spent WWII working as a military gun designer.
