| - I have to say that the annual Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction would be well worth a cross-country, if not an international journey, to attend. We are lucky to live nearby in recent years.
This is a must-do event if you have ever once in your life been enticed by the beauty of a body on four wheels.
Like an old song, what better than a car to spark an old memory and feeling that you thought you had forgotten?
If there is one word for this event it is: "Dazzling."
The many vendors here such as Ford, Dodge, racing driving schools, Pennzoil, Cohiba cigats, craft breweries, and many, many others, make this an interactive experience, not just a spectator event.
If you don't spontaneously and pleasantly gasp at least once at this event, well, you're probably not alive. It is that amazing.
There are many sparkling vehicles from many eras (including yours) accessible inside and outside the main arena tents.
This event is well worth the reasonable admission fees. By no means is this a little event.
Security appears alert, engaged and ready to respond, which I find reassuring at any event in our current world.
Check scheduled days for specific admission prices on specific auction days as they can vary and buy online to save some dollars and time spent in line at the event. Reduced fees for seniors and, I believe, children.
There are wonderfully organized free parking areas a few miles away from the event with beautiful and clean transport buses that require little wait from here to there (free to ride, but note that drivers do it for tips only for this event, so play fair). See website for locations. You can also park nearby for a fee.
