The event was a rousing success, drawing an estimated crowd of 300,000 at Westworld of Scottsdale, leading Craig Jackson, Chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson, to tell us in a statement that "this was a huge year.

"Scottsdale 2014 witnessed an increase in the value of Americana cars as well as the general strengthening of the value of the cars we sold," Jackson said. "We think that this trend will continue throughout 2014 and look forward to these increased numbers at our other 2014 auctions.

"As our brand becomes more global, as our reach enters new media markets and as consignors and bidders engage in our lifestyle events as well as our website, we anticipate strong participation at our upcoming auctions."
