Mecum in Kissimmee, a small town in Florida that at the start of every year transforms into the world capital of classic car auctions, has become a much-anticipated classic. And not just because it’s the first sale of the year. Take the sheer number of cars: each year, around 4,000 are auctioned over 12 days—an immense figure. Just to give you an idea: on Thursday the 16th alone, 404 cars were offered.

And don’t think that quantity and quality don’t go hand in hand: in each edition, the total consistently exceeds $200,000,000. And, just to give you an idea in this case as well, only six auctions in history have surpassed this milestone: Mecum in Kissimmee has achieved this feat four times in the last four editions.
