GOING THE EXTRA MILE

BARRETT-JACKSON PUTS HEALTH AND SAFETY FIRST

AT THE 2020 FALL AUCTION

Barrett-Jackson has long been known for putting the customer first –
and, in the age of COVID-19, that’s true now more than ever before.
At Barrett-Jackson’s special Fall Auction in Arizona, our customers
can have confidence in the steps we have taken to improve safety at
the auction.
Working closely with the City of Scottsdale and WestWorld officials
for months to ensure adherence to local, state and federal guidelines,
Barrett-Jackson is confident that customers will feel safe while at
the auction site and still be able to enjoy everything for which The
World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions is known.
Thanks to the Scottsdale City Council dedicating a portion of the city’s
federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act
funding to WestWorld and other city facilities, the venue has been
the recipient of a number of upgrades based on the latest research
and recommendations from organizations such as the Centers for
Disease Control and leading air system engineering organizations.
The upgrades – which will improve safety for event-goers and those
working at the auction – include additional sanitizing stations,
increased custodial staffing to clean common spaces and surfaces more
frequently, and advanced filtration and air treatment technologies
that will reduce the spread of germs and viruses.
These advanced technologies will include bipolar ionization that
“collects” contaminants in an airstream, and ultraviolet lighting

There will be no side walls on the car display tents or the main
entrance tent, for instance, and there will be a limited number of
indoor exhibitors. Aisleways between exhibitors will be 20 feet in
width, and exhibits will have a supply of hand sanitizer on hand,
with plexiglass at point-of-sale areas.
Dodge will be on hand with its exciting Thrill Rides, with their staff
masked, gloved and temperature-checked. Thrill Ride vehicles will
be rotated every 15 minutes in order to be disinfected by the Dodge
sanitation team on-site. Each vehicle will have hand sanitizer in the
cupholders for guest use, with ground graphics serving as a reminder
to keep distance between parties of riders. Once a ride is complete,
the driver will get in a freshly cleaned car for the next ride.
