It all began when Thomas Barrett and Russ Jackson decided to hold a sale to reduce the size of their individual car collections. The first sale proceeds went to various Scottsdale charities and public institutions including the Scottsdale library. The auction is held every year between the 12th and 20th of January. Tickets start cheap and get more expensive as the auction advances. The auctions start during the day and go on to about 10 p.m. at night. Senior citizens, students and army personnel can get discounts.
It is still conducted by the Barrett Jackson Auction Company and has become a world famous collector car event. Whether you just want to watch the cars or are keen on buying one of the beautiful machines, the Barrett Jackson Car Show is the place to be. The auction caters to classic and collector car owners and buyers. There is also a no reserve auction of car memorabilia.
