Barrett-Jackson To Help Fuel The Desire For Quality Hot Rods, Resto-Mods At 2019 Scottsdale Auction

December 17, 2018 by Barrett-Jackson

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Nov. 27, 2018 – Barrett-Jackson will help fuel the desire for high quality and professionally built hot rods and Resto-Mods at its 48th Annual Scottsdale Auction, January 12-20, 2019, at WestWorld of Scottsdale. From high-profile hot rods like 'Twisted Mistress,' a '31 Ford Model A Custom Coupe (preview), to other beautifully hand-crafted customs such as a '39 Mercury 99A convertible (preview), the Scottsdale Auction will be an exciting opener for the 2019 collector car auction season.

'Over the past several years, demand for professionally built hot rods and Resto-Mods has grown exponentially among collectors,' said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. 'Not only do these incredible machines offer the nostalgia of classic marques, but they feature the modern luxuries and technologies we've come to expect from cars today. In Scottsdale, we'll have an incredible selection of ʼ30s, ʼ40s and ʼ50s era cars and trucks that became the canvas for many of these custom builds. Any one of these vehicles would make an ideal addition to a collection.'

Hot rods and Resto-Mods scheduled to cross Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale Auction block include 'X-Box,' a '55 Chevrolet 210 Sedan (preview) that combines modern-day power with yesterday's classic looks. Built on a Max-G Art Morrison chassis, this custom is part of the Bryan Frank Collection and is the product of over 100 modifications made over 6,000 hours. 'Transitions' is '54 Corvette (preview) built by Larry Griffey's Hot Rods & Restorations. It is a tribute to the GM Concept Corvette displayed as one of the 'Dream Cars' in the 1954 GM Motorama. Built over six years, it debuted at the 2017 Detroit Autorama and has been the recipient of countless awards.

'Barrett-Jackson has been a pioneer in the hot rod and Resto-Mod market for over a decade,' said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. 'We did that, in part, by shining a light on the unbelievable craftsmanship and talent being invested in these customs and hot rods. Enormous amounts of time and finances are poured into these works of art by some of the most skilled builders of our time. I'm confident these vehicles will be appreciated for their build quality and genuine artistry for decades to come.'

Highly anticipated truck-based Resto-Mods include a '67 Chevrolet C10 (preview) that was the 2018 Goodguys pick for best truck.
