Cars On The Block

“You haven’t been to Barrett-Jackson?!”

We’ve heard this a lot. But no more, because today we hoofed it over to Westworld to take in this Woodstock of automobilia.

Barrett-Jackson holds auto auctions every year in Scottsdale and a number of other places. People who pay attention to this kind of thing tell me that B-J is not particularly high-end. While it’s true that most of the cars were American, and many of those were Corvettes or Mustangs, there were some that could sell for over a million dollars.

if you think I’ve showed you a lot of cars, think again. We saw hundreds, and we never visited the dozen other tents scattered around the grounds. And there’s more than cars. Way more. Some things, like the beautifully-restored fuel pumps might be expected. But there were also saunas, yard art, jewelers, massage chairs, clothing, pinball machines, and a lot of overpriced food and drink.

All of the Barrett-Jackson photos were taken on my iPhone using the Leica Lux app.
