Mark The Red Dates
The first event is the 44th Collector Car Show and Auction set on Feb. 2-24. The event, with over 600 collectable cars and trucks, is anticipated to captivate the hearts of aficionados. The auto show and auction will be presented by Keith McCormick at the Spa Resort Casino.
Additionally, on Mar. 1, Saturday the first annual Desert Classic Concours will be held at the O’Donnell Golf Club in Palm Springs. Based on the popular Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, over 100 vehicles bearing millions as sticker price will wow aficionados. Cars include Aston Martins, Cords, Duisenbergs and other cars in rarity.
Admission will be $20 per individual. The proceeds of the said show will benefit Animal Samaritans SPCA, The Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center and College of the Desert.
"Palm Springs, which has always been home for many exotic cars, is the perfect setting for both events," said Keith McCormick, who is organizing the Concours along with Paul Merrigan of Indian Wells.
Expanded to 3 days, the Exotic Car Auction will feature more than 600 vehicles ranging from sports and muscle cars to antiques and exotics, The Desert Sun reported. "Something for everyone," McCormick said. Auction prices typically range from under $2,000 to more than $200,000.
The value of the cars auctioned in the past 12 months totaled more than $15 million, said Jason McCormick, manager. "The quality and value of the cars have been steadily improving," he said. The auction will start at 6 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. For a photo preview of the exotic cars, visit www.classic-carauctions.com.
