LAS VEGAS – September 12, 2018Barrett-Jackson continues building an impressive docket with the addition of 25 cars from the Bryan Frank Collection for the 2018 Las Vegas Auction, September 27-29, 2018, at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. The collection adds to an already impressive docket for the 11th annual auction in Las Vegas, which also includes the John Staluppi Jr. Collection. Among the feature cars in the collection of Bryan Frank – who will also be bringing more of his collection to the 2019 Scottsdale Auction – are a ’53 Buick Skylark Convertible (Lot #665.1) and ’58 Chevrolet Corvette “Fuelie” Convertible (Lot #665).

“Bryan has built a beautiful collection over the years that includes some beautifully restored collector cars, and we want thank him for choosing Barrett-Jackson to sell these wonderful vehicles,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “With the addition of cars Bryan has chosen to sell from his collection at the 2019 Scottsdale Auction, buyers will have multiple opportunities to take home one of the many great examples of automotive history. We are excited to cap off a great 2018 for the collector car industry with a memorable 11th Annual Auction in Las Vegas.”

One of only 1,690 built, the yellow-on-yellow ’53 Buick Skylark Convertible (Lot #665.1) is powered by a 322ci Nailhead V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission. The vehicle went through a comprehensive restoration several years ago and features power windows and steering, radio and a power seat.

The ’58 Corvette “Fuelie” Convertible (Lot #665) is finished in the beautiful color combination of red with white contrasting coves and a red interior. It is powered by a 283/250hp fuel-injected engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission, and includes windshield washers, wide whitewall bias-ply tires and courtesy light, along with a white convertible soft-top.

“Bryan has a beautiful collection that includes coveted classic American collector cars like the Corvette, Skylark and Impala,” said Steve Davis, Barrett-Jackson president. “We are building an exciting docket for Las Vegas that will include vehicles from this collection crossing the block on all three days of the auction, and we look forward to another great event at Mandalay Bay with our awesome fans and friends in Las Vegas.”
