Auctions America is delighted to announce the return of its annual California sale, July 17 – 18. Moving to new dates and an exciting new venue in 2015 – Santa Monica’s historic Barker Hangar – the multi-day auction is set to build on the company’s strong sales run in Southern California. Since 2013, Auctions America has enjoyed a successful entrance into the notoriously difficult Southern California collector car auction market, posting record results at each of its events to date. The upcoming auction will lift the gavel on a handpicked collection of approximately 300 quality vehicles. As in past years, the sale promises an eclectic mix of automobiles representative of diverse Southern California tastes: European and American sports cars, prewar classics, hot rods and customs. For those unable to attend the auction in person, Auctions America offers a broad range of remote bidding options including Internet, absentee and telephone bidding, and the auction will stream live online at auctionsamerica.com to provide real-time coverage of the event. For further information and to view a frequently updated list of entries, visit auctionsamerica.com or call toll free 888-990-3910 (or +1 310 842 3910 outside North America).
