As you are reading this, the world’s most desirable automobiles are arriving in California. If you have been looking to spice up your collection, the auctions are a great way to get a feel for the market. Our social media team has their marching orders, so we thought we would let you see what each auction has to offer.
Mecum Monterey
The first automotive auction to Simulcast on NBCSN and YouTube, Dana Mecum and company offer an experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat. From negotiating the reserve with the consignor to the vocal audience, the anticipation of the hammer is not for the faint of heart. Taking place at the Hyatt Regency from Thursday to Saturday, Mecum puts on a show unlike any other. Their primetime lineup will include exquisite Lamborghinis from Marshall Goldman’s private collection, so be sure to tune in.

Russo & Steele
Located next to Fisherman’s Wharf, Russo & Steele offers an exciting experience. Under their giant tents, the action plays out like theatre-in-the-round. You see the cars, and you can easily spot who is bidding against you. Much like high-stakes poker, whoever calls your bluff will go home with the car you wanted.

On Thursday, the Tour d’Elegance will begin there on Thursday morning, so be there at 7 am to see the cars line up. If you plan on previewing the auction, the 17-Mile Drive is one of the most scenic roads in the world.
