•Six vehicles from the collection will cross the block in Las Vegas at No Reserve with the remaining 140-plus vehicles selling at Barrett-Jackson's 46th Annual Scottsdale Auction, January 14-22, 2017
'As evident from his very special collection in Texas, Charlie Thomas is a real car guy with an eye for the finest this hobby has to offer,' said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. 'We're honored he has chosen Barrett-Jackson to help find new homes for 150 of his vehicles as he looks to make room for new additions to his collection.'
A great example of the quality available is represented by the 1946 Chrysler Town & Country Convertible selling in Las Vegas. The Royal Maroon Chrysler has had a frame-off professional restoration and a 323ci Straight 8-cylinder engine backed by a Fluid Drive transmission powers the car. Also from this era is a black 1940 Cadillac Series 62 with red interior and a large 346ci V8 teamed with a standard transmission.
Another American luxury vehicle from this collection in Vegas will be a Presidential Black 1958 Lincoln Continental Mark III Convertible. Rated at 375hp, under the hood is a 430ci V8 with 4-barrel carburetor and the luxuries abound include power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seat, power self-latching top and leather seats.
'Barrett-Jackson is the biggest out there,' said Thomas. 'They've got more buyers, and a wider variety of buyers. They've got a buyer for everything, and with the spread of cars I've got, I'm going with them.'
'The Charlie Thomas Collection is a spectacular grouping of many different makes and models showcasing decades of American and European automotive history,' said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. 'The 150 vehicles crossing our auction block are nothing short of spectacular and will be great additions to any collection.'
