Who else enjoyed a raucous night on Saint Patrick’s Day at home?

In addition to RM Auctions moving their Palm Beach sale exclusively online and Barrett-Jackson kicking their Palm Beach sale Read More
Auctions, shows, events, museums. Seems like everything is cancelled, postponed or closed. It’s for the best, but that doesn’t change the shocking nature of it all.

GAA Classic Cars held the first of three yearly sales this past weekend.
Few auctions run as consistently as GAA Classic Cars, with three per year in February, July and November, plus an occasional collection large enough to merit a sale all by its lonesome. And none of the other non-traveling sales feature the volume going through Greensboro.
As I scrolled through the results, a 1957 Chrysler 300C convertible caught my eye Read More
American makes don’t get a whole lot of love during the Amelia Island sales.
