Some photos from the 2014 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ
Every January Greg and I have the pleasure of showing our wares at the Barrett-Jackson auto auction in Scottsdale, AZ. It's the biggest show we do, and this year 400,000 people attended the show over an 8 day period! The show is held at the West World Fair grounds in Scottsdale which covers many acres of land. Close to 2,000 automobiles were auctioned this year at this amazing event and featured a range of cars dating from 1914 up to 2014 in every shape, size, and color you can imagine. In addition, the show features vendors that sell everything from jewelry, boats, planes, and sculptures to hand made clothing and boots, custom furniture, and original art! There are dozens of events to participate in over the 8 day period, and a full array of food vendors for everyone's appetite.
If I could I would go with an empty tractor trailer and haul back a dozen cars every year. This is an exciting event with amazing energy. Watching automobiles go off the auction block with prices between 1 and 4 million dollars is astounding and incredible. We are absolutely looking forward to next year's show!
We hope you enjoy these photos and join us next year for the fun!
