Mecum Auctions will return to the Fourth Annual Chattanooga Motorcar Festival this October 13-14 with an estimated 600 American muscle cars, classics, Corvettes, trucks, exotics, Hot Rods, customs and more to cross the auction block at the Chattanooga Convention Center in Tennessee.
The return of Mecum Auctions to the Scenic City follows total sales of $21.2 million at Mecum Chattanooga 2022 and $18.7 million at the inaugural Mecum auction in Chattanooga in 2021. Top sales at Mecum Chattanooga 2022 were led by two 4-speed convertibles: a 1968 Shelby GT500KR that achieved a $302,500 selling price and a 1957 Chevrolet Corvette that sold for $220,000.
“We are proud and thrilled to have Mecum Auctions joining us again at the Fourth Annual Chattanooga Motorcar Festival,” said Byron DeFoor, founder of the Festival. “We have always believed that Chattanooga is a perfect location for these popular auctions, and we’re pleased to be able to provide unique events to the Festival fans, which also benefit neuroscience research.”
“Mecum Auctions looks forward to joining the other events at the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival in support of Byron DeFoor’s vision to further position Chattanooga as a destination among car enthusiasts and also to benefit the neuroscience research through CHI Memorial and the NeuroScience Innovation Foundation,” said Mecum Auctions CEO Dave Magers.
