Mecum Auction with the wind in its sails

The sale at Mecum in Glendale, Arizona, made in presence as always, is a huge all-American party with audiences wearing cowboy hats and jackets or T-shirts emblazoned with the Stars and Stripes. A wonderful atmosphere that this year, with 774 cars on offer and 644 sold (equivalent to 83.20%), was more than confirmed by the results. But there’s more: compared to 2020, when no fewer than 1,041 cars were offered and sales stopped at a very respectable 65%, the total value of the cars sold ($39,553.90, equal to €33,255,143) nearly doubled from the $23,305,355 in takings last year, while the average price jumped from $31,072 to $61,417.
