Fox channel from 2-4pm.
NatGeo channel from 4-11pm.

Alright well Saturday is the big day for the auction, especially tonight. Didnt really have a bunch of big money cars last night. I think about 30 went into 6 figures. Well that will be blown away tonight. Once they get to the salon collection, many cars will be fetching 7 figures. So yea when the salon cars start rolling in, if youre on the bidding floor, you pretty much wipe your arse with money.

Here is a link to the cars that are in the salon.

Click on salon link in this link. Salon Collection and 5000 Series

I picked out a few and posted them below and i barely scraped the surface. Would take an hour to post everything.



1933 CHRYSLER IMPERIAL DUAL COWL CUSTOM PHAETON


1956 DE SOTO ADVENTURER 2 DOOR HARDTOP


1969 CHEVROLET CAMARO COPO 2 DOOR COUPE



1969 CHEVROLET CHEVELLE BALDWIN MOTION

1955 MERCEDES-BENZ 300SL GULLWING COUPE

Bidding went to almost 5 million. Can probably google a video of it. You gotta get the video from the TV broadcast though. One of the ones online is from some other feed

Batmobile went for $4.6 mil last year. I go every year and it wasn't very impressive up close.

I doubt anything goes for less than 100k tonight and tomorrow night.

The car not impressive or the show itself?

The car. It was more like a hollywood prop than something you would ever drive. Buttons and shite glued on. Handmade stickers put on crooked. Looks great on TV but not good up close.

The event itself is awesome for any car lover.

If you do make it out here with your dad bring LL with you!


Me and her can go do girly stuff while you have father-son time.



B got to work the show one year for a friend that was selling some car related artwork there. Got free passes to the show, parking passes and free drinks.

They have auctions on all kinds of cars and the ones on TV are only the high profile.

Was about to say woman she ain't gonna want to come to a car show lol.

Did he say the show was cool outside of the auction? Because all u normally see on TV is the auction

So it wasn't a fiasco as in a mishandling of the bidders, just bidders going at it?

That is true. And while I'm sure many actually go to buy a car, I'm sure there are many, many more that go just to be able to say they went and check out all the amazing cars there in person.
