How this simple meeting between two car buffs in Scottsdale, Arizona, in 1960 started what would someday be the most prestigious collector car event in the world is the story told in Barrett-Jackson: World’s Greatest Collector Car Event.

From the start of the Fiesta de los Autos Elegantes in 1967 to the first classic Car Auction in 1971, to the record-breaking participation in the 1980’s, to live television coverage in the 1990s, and on to record-breaking sales in the 2000s, Barrett-Jackson has become more than just an auction.

It garnered national media attention in 1971 when Tom Barrett’s Mercedes 770 Phaeton sold for a cool $153,000. The annual auction aired live on SPEED channel in 1997, and held a cyber-cast in 1998. And with an addition of Family Value Day in 2006, Barrett-Jackson has stretched to reach people from all walks, and even those to young to walk. The annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Event has truly become an experience for the whole family, whether at the auction or from the comfort of the couch.
