CRAIG JACKSON’S VIEW FROM THE BLOCK
OUR COMMON THREAD GREAT THINGS ARE WORTH WAITING FOR – and for the
2021 Scottsdale Auction, Barrett-Jackson is delivering a docket
that will make the wait well worthwhile! Our successful 2020
Fall Auction set the tone and showed everyone we could
come back in a safe manner. I can’t thank our customers and
sponsors enough for their support as we navigated these new
waters, and everyone who attended for wearing their masks
and following the physical distancing recommendations that
were in place. It was so great to see everyone again, enjoying
themselves safely.
After listening to feedback from our customers, we moved our
Scottsdale Auction to March, and it proved to be a sensible
move in many aspects. So many people have come forward
with great cars and great enthusiasm, we absolutely can’t wait
to share it with you all. We’re even taking it to the next level
in terms of sanitation at the auction site, using the latest in
drone technology (read more about that on Page 19)!
We’re honored to have our friends at Toyota coming on board
