Mecum Kissimmee Auction to Run Five Full Days, Offering 1,750 Collector Cars
Due to its overwhelming popularity, Mecum’s annual Kissimmee event has expanded to five full days of auction action featuring an unprecedented 1,750 collector cars up for sale.
“The Kissimmee Auction is Mecum’s fastest growing event as witnessed by the huge success of last year’s event, which boasted a very high sell-through rate, more than 4,000 registered bidders and total sales over $25 million,” said President Dana Mecum. “We already see the momentum building for an even more impressive turn out at this year’s event, and it’s all taking place east of the Mississippi – it’s where the cars are.”
As the collector car industry’s largest January auction, Mecum Kissimmee offers a variety of vehicles up for bid, including several no-reserve collections, historic race cars and rare muscle cars. The auction takes place Jan. 26-30, 2011, at Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Fla. Because of Mecum’s recent growth, they have moved the auction block to Silver Spur Arena – a larger building next to the Exhibition Building where last year’s event took place.
Mecum Kissimmee will broadcast with four days of live national TV coverage on “Mecum Auto Auction: Muscle Cars & More” on HD Theater – Discovery Communications’ first 24-hour high-definition cable network, offering compelling real-world and motorized content. Fans can also watch the auction via live Webcast at www.Mecum.com.
The Kissimmee Auction is open to the general public with tickets are available at the door for $15. The Mecum Auction Company has been specializing in the sale of collector cars for 23 years, now offering an industry-leading 5,000 collector cars per year. Consignment, bidder and event information is available online at www.Mecum.com or by calling 815.568.8888.
