You’re in Palm Beach – it’s a tropical paradise! What better way to celebrate your vacation or day off then by surrounding yourself with hundreds of stunning collector vehicles? Naturally, you must commemorate the occasion, so be sure to take a selfie at the 2023 Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Auction and share it with all your followers on social media. We put together a list of the most picture-perfect photo spots at the South Florida Fairgrounds so you can spend less time refining that selfie and more time enjoying The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions.
Main Entrance Courtyard – The best place to start documenting your Barrett-Jackson experience is at the beginning: the Main Entrance Courtyard. The courtyard provides you with your first opportunity to take a selfie next to a new vehicle from a top automotive manufacturer. If your favorite isn’t represented out there, head inside…
Sponsor Pavilion – Inside the Sponsor Pavilion is your opportunity to snap a selfie next to displays from your favorite automakers like Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge and Toyota. You are also likely to find other makes and models, as a plethora of aftermarket companies are represented and other displays featuring vehicles and products suitable for an interesting photo opp.
Atrium – Unique to the Palm Beach Auction is a lush atrium located between the Sponsor Pavilion/Exhibitor Marketplace and the Auction Offices. Here you will find stunning examples of exotic plants thriving outdoors and lots of shade. No need to squint into the sun or deal with harsh shadows across your face here – happy snapping!
Barrett-Jackson Performance Track – Show your social media followers you have the need for speed! The Barrett-Jackson Performance Track is the ideal place to take a selfie if you love fast cars. Video selfies are recommended here as it might be difficult to get a static image of a car racing around the track in the background. For something truly unique, go for a ride in one of the latest performance cars from top manufacturers, hold on tight and take a video selfie as professional driver takes you on the ride of your life.
Automobilia Display – The automobilia display is where some of our favorite automotive brands from the past live on, and it provides the opportunity to showcase your love for vintage Americana. Impress your friends with your knowledge of vintage brands like Polly Gas or Mobilgas and snap a pic next to your favorite. Another option is to capture all the colorful neon signs or gas pumps in the background – either way your selfie will have an extra-special, one-of-a-kind background.
Billy’s Tequila Live Music Stage – To add a music festival vibe to your Instagram story, head to Billy’s Tequila Live Music Stage and snap some photos with the band playing in the background – or ask someone to take a photo of you dancing. Either way you will be capturing a unique element of a Barrett-Jackson event.
Auction Arena – Nothing says “I was at Barrett-Jackson” better than a photo with the world-famous auction block in the background. Due to the size of the auction arena in Palm Beach, there really isn’t a bad place to pose. One of the most iconic photos would be to stand at the back of the room so you can get the auction block and the enormous American flag hanging over it in the frame, or hang out near where the cars come on or off the block to get a selfie with a spectacular collector car in the background (this option works best when you take your pic from an upward angle).
BJAC Letters – Did you know that the BJAC letters stand for Barrett-Jackson Auction Company? The giant BJAC letter display is without a doubt one of the most social media photo-worthy spots at the auction site. They will be conveniently located in the Auction Arena next to the Bidder Bar. Be sure to share your selfie and use #BJAC to get all the likes.
Next to a Palm Tree – You’re in Palm Beach, after all! If palm trees aren’t found where you’re from, or if you want more beach vacation vibes in your selfies, snag this opportunity.
Next to Your Favorite Car – You came to Barrett-Jackson for the cars – what better selfie to take then a photo next to your favorite? Get creative and capture your reflection in a vehicle’s chrome or point to your favorite detail of the car. With the help of a friend, you can even stage the photo with some distance between you and the vehicle to make it look like you are holding the car. Either way, it’s worth capturing that special once-in-a-lifetime moment because you may never get the opportunity to see that car again!
Selfie opportunities abound at The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions – show us what you’ve got! When you’re ready to post, be sure to use #BJAC, #BJACSuperFan or @Barrett_Jackson for the chance to have your photo shared by Barrett-Jackson.
