Shiny Cars at Barrett Jackson

Jan 16/2018. Weather 73, low 47.  Get ready for some steps.  We are putting our walking shoes on to visit the Barrett Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, at Westworld.
classy classic car
new 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt
 Every year at this time vehicle collectors from all over the world descend on Scottsdale.   This event is in its 47 th year with an expected crowd of up to 400,000 people. It has 1770 vehicles on display and then they will be auctioning over 200 cars daily.  It’s amazingly inexpensive to walk around, we purchased tickets on line for $17 each.
Billy wanted to take this wagon home.....

and Rosey wanted this one
 The tents go on forever with every imaginable collector vehicle you can think of.   A highlight this year is the new 2019 Mustang Bullitt - Cult Classic!  This year Barrett Jackson had tent coverage of 1.1 million square feet - new World record for a temporary structure.  The guys love this..... Billy and Jim were constantly saying “I had that”. “My Dad had that”. My Mom had that”. Ahhh I WANT THAT ONE!!!!!!   We had a fun day with our friends Jim and Paulette from back home.  Walked the cars, had a bite to eat, and watched a bit of the auction.  Money, money, money.
