If you’re into classic cars, exotics and muscle cars on your next Palm Springs vacation be sure to visit Palm Springs Exotic Car Show & Auction.
This Bi – Annual event is held each February and November at the site of the Spa Resort Casino in downtown Palm Springs. Now in its 25th year Keith McCormick’s Exotic Car auction is a staple on the exotic car circuit and one of the leading attractions.
Set over the course of three days, the event starts on Friday morning which is check in day for vendors and bidders. The auction itself starts at around 3:00 p.m. when the first car is brought into the auction tent. Typically there are 100 vehicles up for auction on the first day which also provide for free admission to the general public and a hosted buffet to all registered bidders.
The auction has everything from 60’s muscle cars to old gangster automobiles of the 20’s. If you are into exotics, there are Rolls Royce’s, Ferrari’s and Lambrogini’s. The vehicles are sold with and without “reserve.” This means that the owner has placed a minimum bid on the car. Of course, the best deals are those without reserve so there is no minimum bid.
Gates open on Saturday and Sunday at 8:00 a.m. so that bidders can walk the grounds and take notes on the cars that they want to bod on. The actual bidding begins with the first vehicle crossing the block at 10:00 a.m. Over 25o vehicles with roll out on Saturday with over another 200 on Sunday. General admission on these two days is $10 per day or $15 for a two day admission pass.
Given the variety of vehicles and the magnificent setting, this is truly one of the top car auctions in the country. Its a great way to spend some time on your next Palm Springs vacation. Who know’s you may come home from your next vacation with a classic car or exotic car.
If you are a seller the cost of the event is $300.00, plus the commission that the auction house receives on the sale. This covers the entire three – day event.
If you are a seller in need of a little extra cash, it is wise to book a spot as quickly as possible in order to get the best placement for your vehicle on the auction lot.
If for some reason you can’t make it to the event in person, you can bid on the car of your dreams by phone as the event is streamed live on the internet.
