RENO, Nev. – Aug 11, 2015 – Barrett-Jackson, The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions®, created a global stage for custom cars during the 3rd Annual Hot August Nights Auction presented by Barrett-Jackson in Reno, Nevada, on Aug. 6-8. For the third year, the auction held the world’s most celebrated custom car competition, the Barrett-Jackson Cup. With over $100,000 in cash and prizes on the line, Randy and Lisa Wilcox took home “Best in Show” with their 1962 Chevrolet Impala Bubbletop.
“Our third year in Reno produced an entirely new level of excitement,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “We began with professional stunt driver Rhys Millen tearing up the streets of downtown Reno to deliver the Barrett-Jackson Cup trophy in a 2015 Dodge Hellcat. The buzz escalated as anticipation mounted around who would be crowned the 2015 Barrett-Jackson Cup champion. The success of this year’s Reno auction demonstrates that Barrett-Jackson remains at the forefront of the American collector car market.” more...
