Mecum Celebrates Twenty-Five Years at Spring Classic

In excess of one million square feet of the Indiana State Fairgrounds were covered with over 2,900 automobiles, motorcycles, Road Art, and more as Mecum Auctions celebrated the 25th Anniversary of its original Spring Classic Auction, May 15-20, in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The excitement was high on the auction floor as Mecum offered a staggering 2,984 lots during the six-day event, spread across two auction rings.  Total sales for the week-long auction were in excess of $52.6 million with nearly a 70% sell-through rate.  President and CEO Dana Mecum noted, “While I had no intention of even holding a second auction 25 years ago, this auction has taken on a life of its own. The Spring Classic is the flagship event for our company, and it never ceases to amaze me just how large the auction has become.”
