“From late-model Corvettes to classic Cadillacs
and movie cars to celebrity-owned vehicles, we
delivered some of the best auction moments in
Las Vegas history,” said Steve Davis, president of
Barrett-Jackson. “The diversity and quality of our
dockets is unrivaled and created unprecedented
excitement from all guests. Professionally built
Resto-Mods, along with high-quality customs, like
a 1960 Chevrolet Biscayne (Lot #700.1) continued
to fetch six-figure prices. It’s exciting to watch
this Resto-Mod trend, which we championed
years ago, reach new heights and bring younger
collectors to the hobby.”

Entertainment and sports celebrities, as well
as titans of business and political leaders who
attended this year’s Barrett-Jackson auction
included “Mr. Las Vegas” Wayne Newton, Nevada
Governor Steve Sisolak, Las Vegas Raiders
President Marc Badain, 8-time U.S. Olympic
gold medalist Apolo Ohno and Carroll Shelby’s
grandson Aaron Shelby.
“It’s abundantly clear that the collector car
community was anxious to return to live events
that fuel their passion for great vehicles,” said
Jackson. “Of course, we all know that Texans like
to do everything bigger and better. Better make
plans now to join us in Houston and capitalize on
this wave of excitement that’s gaining momentum
with every auction.”
