            FOR ME, IT’S INCREDIBLE TO THINK ABOUT SURPASSING CHILDHOOD
              DREAMS OF SIMPLY MEETING LEGENDS AND ACTUALLY BEING
             BLESSED ENOUGH TO STAND SHOULD-TO-SHOULDER WITH THEM
                            AND BECOME FRIENDS

             about the cars, it’s about the culture, it’s about the
             people, it’s about the Barrett-Jackson experience. We
             have created an incredible platform and continue
             to innovate. Back in the day, who could have ever
             dreamed that there would be any auction company
             that sells thousands of cars with No Reserve, setting
             countless records and sponsored by some of the
             top corporate brands in the world? A place where
             classics, sports cars, muscle cars and Resto-Mods – a
             term that didn’t even exist 25 years ago – as well as
             the latest generation of collector cars, continually
             share the same stage? As a result of our innovations,
             we now have people in businesses unrelated to our
             industry wanting to be involved as sponsors. I would
             argue that we are one of the ultimate influencers in
             the car world.

             I can’t think of anything, in a business sense, that
             remotely comes close to the emotion we experience
             at every auction, the ups and the downs. The live
             energy. The life experiences that are so unique and   From top left: With Muhammad and Lonnie Ali; Carroll Shelby and my wife Janie; during a charity car sale in

             a part of it all.

             we strap in at every auction, we don’t know where
             we’re going to end up or what the journey’s going to          Tribute And Award Ceremony
             be like getting there. Just hang on, hold your breath         On The Auction Block At Las Vegas 2021
