Video of the whole World Greatest Collector Car Auctions show in Scottsdale, AZ. Barrett-Jackson produces The World Greatest Collector Car Auctions in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Palm Beach, Florida. In 1967, Tom Barrett joined Russ and Nellie Jackson to host the “Fiesta de los Autos Elegantes” charity car show and parade. The mission of this humble act of community generosity was simple: Raise funds for Scottsdale’s emerging art center and purchase books for the local library – but it quickly grew into something far larger than anyone imagined. The spirit of that first event lit a spark, one powerful enough to pave the way for the founding of Barrett-Jackson in 1971 and, ultimately, establish charity as a defining pillar of the company’s identity. Barrett-Jackson specializes in providing products and services to astute classic and collector car owners and automotive enthusiasts around the world. Barrett-Jackson produces The World Greatest Collector Car Auctions in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Palm Beach, Florida, where thousands of the most sought-after, unique and valuable automobiles cross the block in front of a global audience. Russ Jackson and Tom Barrett met when Jackson responded to an ad Barrett had placed for a 1933 Cadillac Town Car. With its Hollywood provenance, having been built for movie star Joan Crawford, the Caddy was guaranteed to catch the eye of Russ Jackson. Jackson did not end up purchasing the car, but did make a lifelong friend and, later, business partner in Tom Barrett. The two families, already key players in the Arizona classic car scene, raised their profile even further when they established the Fiesta de los Autos Elegantes car show and parade in 1967, with the Classic Car Club of Arizona also on board. Besides being a fun time and a celebration of thoroughbred automobiles, the event raised money for Scottsdale art center and community library - and planted the seeds that would grow into the Barrett-Jackson Auction Company. After establishing its headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona, the company decided to test the demand for an auction devoted to collector cars. Barrett-Jackson achieved two more milestones at the flagship Scottsdale Auction: the achievement of raising more than $100 million for charity since the company inception (largely through the auction of vehicles for worthy causes) and the first visit by a former president. George W. Bush surprised the packed auction arena when he appeared on the auction block to help sell a 2018 Carbon 65 Edition Corvette donated by General Motors, which brought in $1.4 million to benefit his Military Service Initiative. The tradition of auctioning “charity cars” on the renowned auction block reached a significant pinnacle at the 2023 Scottsdale Auction when Barrett-Jackson achieved an impressive milestone: surpassing the $150- million mark raised for various charitable causes. Barrett-Jackson waives all fees and commissions, ensuring that 100% of the hammer price goes directly to support the charity. Barrett-Jackson unwavering commitment to assisting those in need has been a fundamental principle since the company establishment in 1971 and remains a cornerstone of its values today. Over the years, charity vehicles of all kinds have evolved into a defining pillar of Barrett-Jackson’s legacy. Since 1971, The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions has helped raise more than $164 million for nonprofits across the nation, supporting medical research, veteran’s services, children’s programs, community initiatives and countless other causes. At every step, Barrett-Jackson has maintained its unwavering commitment to philanthropy by waiving all fees and commissions: 100% of the hammer price goes directly to the designated charity, with the winning bidder sending the funds straight to the organization. Barrett-Jackson's flagship Scottsdale Auction at WestWorld in Scottsdale, Arizona, featured its largest auction docket in company history with 2,016 collectible vehicles, all selling with No Reserve, for $200.9 million in auction sales. Additionally, Barrett- Jackson sold 1,180 pieces of authentic automobilia for $6.7 million, bringing total auction sales to $207.6 million, the most for a single auction in Barrett-Jackson history, with a 100 percent sell-through rate and over 190 world-record auction sales.
