Perfect weather enticed plenty of guests to WestWorld of Scottsdale today to enjoy a first look at all the collector cars and automobilia shined up and ready to roll for the beginning of the auction action on Monday.
There was certainly no lack of things to do and see, with the Dodge Thrill Rides going full speed, the Exhibitor Marketplace doing bustling business, and the 70-plus food vendor locations keeping event attendees fully fueled.
Barrett-Jackson is the perfect place to pass the love of cars down from one generation to the next.
Many visitors with school-age children were impressed with the new STEAM City attraction at the automotive lifestyle event, taking place in the Equidome. Presented by Kadima.Ventures throughout the auction week, STEAM City aims to promote education in science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics through a number of interactive exhibits and demonstrations from a variety of participants, including the SAE Foundation.
Barrett-Jackson’s efforts to slam the brakes on heart attack and stroke through a yearlong “Driven Hearts” initiative to benefit the American Heart Association continued to be evident throughout the vast auction site today. The evening’s Opening Night Gala featured a special #DrivenHearts video (which can be viewed below), and guests got a sneak peek at the special 1988 35th Anniversary Corvette (Lot #3008) that will be sold on Saturday, January 20, to benefit the AHA.
