COMPLETE HOBBY WEEKEND Auburn Spring not only offers something for everyone on the auction block, but a complete hobby weekend for enthusiasts, with this year's event also featuring a car corral and swap meet, along with the AACA's Special National Spring Meet, which is set to bring an additional 300 cars to the grounds of the Auburn Auction Park. Auctions America's support for the AACA at Auburn Spring will also extend to the presentation of five vehicles at the auction, with hammer proceeds from their sale benefiting the AACA Museum. The group is led by an HPOF-certified, survivor example 1959 Pontiac Star Chief Vista Sedan, which has been in single family ownership from new. 'The AACA is thrilled to return to the Auburn Auction Park for our national Spring meet,' says Steve Moskowitz, Executive Director of the AACA. 'Last year was a fantastic success thanks to the Auctions America team and their support. Our members gave it a thumbs-up and immediately asked to come back in 2014. A terrific hobby weekend, the Auburn Spring sale and the AACA Special National Meet is an event you just cannot miss.' In addition to all the excitement onsite, the surrounding area offers a great range of additional automotive-themed activities for enthusiasts visiting the 'Classic Car Capital of America'. Spoilt for choice, the area is home to a number of well-respected museums including the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum, the National Auto & Truck Museum, the Early Ford V-8 Foundation and Museum, and the World War II Victory Museum.
