Barrett-Jackson Family day Sunday Scottsdale 1 14 2018
 

Lynn, Holly and I went to family day at Barrett-Jackson today. The show ran from 8am to 3pm as they were also preparing for the Barrett-Jackson Gala which is happening tonight from 7pm to 10pm.

There are still cars coming in and being unloaded for the auction and there was a good crowd of people there today as well. Like every year-there is a ton of variety at this event...definitely something for everyone. Whether you like Ferrari's or Formula 400's-it's here!

Enjoy the first group of pics. There include some of the vendor display cars....the first shot is from the Ford display which greets you as you first walk in-where you can race someone on the stage, then there is vendor who is selling custom paints, to a vendor who is selling modified muscle and finally part of the Chevrolet display set up like a Hot Wheels package!

This group of shots is a small sampling of some of the "Salon cars" as you progress into the main tent.

First up is a Talbot-Lago T-26 Grand Sport Saoutchik coupe, then a 1966 Aston Martin DB5, next to a 1952 Ferrari 212 Europa, followed by a 1968 Corvette L88, then a hugger Orange 1969 ZL-1 Camaro (#59), followed by the last known Hemi Cuda...followed by an unrestored black Hemi Challenger-next to a 1966 Shelby GT350R, next to a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder which was next to the 1966 Shelby GT350 prototype #001

Amazing, just amazing!:shocked:

Great way to spend the day with the Family :)

See you soon Bruce :)
