Sharing the spotlight with the wide array of collector cars at every Barrett-Jackson auction is an equally diverse selection of automotive memorabilia, otherwise known as automobilia. These rare, authentic pieces of our motoring past range from tiny toy cars and towering gas pumps to brightly blinking neon service station signs and relics from Route 66 diners. The 2019 Scottsdale Automobilia Auction was the second most successful in Barrett-Jackson history (surpassed only by the 2015 event, which featured the outstanding Ron Pratte Collection). More than 1,500 authentic items were sold for over $4 million, with the highlight being an incredible full-sized 1962 Hennecke transportation-themed carousel made in Germany, which sold for $506,000.
