SCOTTSDALE, AZ ‒ Barrett-Jackson Auctions, announced last week that it will return to Florida for its annual Palm Beach Auction at the South Florida Fairgrounds on April 7-9, 2022.
Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson, said the company postponed the Palm Beach auction as a precaution for the health and safety of its customers.
“After an unbelievably successful Scottsdale Auction earlier this year followed by a record-breaking return to Las Vegas in June, it is clear that the collector car hobby is back and better than ever. Our last event in Palm Beach was in 2019 and there is a significant, pent-up demand for collector cars,” said Jackson. “We can’t express how excited we are to bring the Barrett-Jackson experience back to the Sunshine State with the incredible collector car community in South Florida.”
Since 2002, Barrett-Jackson’s Palm Beach Auction has been a draw for collector car hobbyists on the East Coast and across the Southeast.
From celebrity appearances with the likes of William Shatner, Vanilla Ice, Captain Lee Rosbach from the hit television series “Below Deck,” Burt Reynolds and American hero and retired United States Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, to historic sales like that of renowned philanthropist and entrepreneur John Staluppi’s Cars of Dreams Collection in 2018, Barrett-Jackson’s auction block in Palm Beach has played host to many outstanding collector car moments over the years. Barrett-Jackson has also helped raise millions of dollars in Palm Beach for numerous local and national charities, contributing to the more than $134 million the company has helped raise to date.
“There is no other collector car experience on the planet that rivals Barrett-Jackson,” said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “When you combine our experience with the excitement and passion for collector cars in the South Florida, you have the perfect recipe for success. We’re fueling the hobby and looking forward to returning to Palm Beach next year as we build on our legacy there.”
