2 cars every 5 minutes for three days is a lot of cars!
"Window shopping" before the cars hit the auction block.
This Ferrari "Spyder" with 17,000 original miles sold for only $40K. What would Brenda have thought?? It's black!!!Scottsdale, Arizona and Palm Springs are known as centers of exotic car auctions. Numerous auction houses operate in and around Palm Springs but, the twice yearly McCormick’s Auctions are considered the best of the bunch. Even if you don’t like cars, the people-watching is first rate. If you like cars, it is a day of great entertainment. If you don’t like cigars ……… well ………..that’s a problem!
According to the auction program, they present a car every 2 – 3 minutes on Friday night and all day Saturday and Sunday. However, many vehicles have such high reserve bids that they do not sell. The reserve on one 1970 “Boss 429” Mustang was $450,000. Didn’t sell!! On the other hand, some beautiful looking cars sold for a couple of thousand dollars. I guess one needs to know what one is doing!!!! Even though the auction was conducted under an open-sided tent, I bailed out around 2:00 P.M. It was just TOO hot. You have to be tough to buy cars at auction!!
