Scottsdale Barrett Jackson

[jerrym3]

Anybody else watching this? Where are all the Galaxies and Mercs?

I didn't realize that my Galaxie was that unpopular.

[stevengerard]

try seeing an oldsmobile on there, they have lots of great cars, I even like seeing the weird cars but once in a while I'd like to see a Cutlass, Monte Carlo, Wildcat, Galaxie or Cougar go by and them actually talk about it

[FastMerc]

Trust me they are there,they arent paying for the airtime spots on the stage.

I've seen a number of 442's and a few Cougars, but that's about it. Not a lot of (great) 50's Olds 88/Super 88/ or 98's.

Seems like the "frame off restoration" shops aren't very wild about full sized Fords/Torinos/Cyclones etc.

Not that I care. I don't plan on selling my Galaxie or 2003 TBird retro while I can still turn the key and find my driveway in the dark; just an observance.

Getting bored watching all the Chevys.

Remember when it was all MOpars????

And keep in mind that everything that runs across the block does not get on TV.

DVR....I'm watching yesterday's B&J session or infomercial....it would seem to me...speeding through the ads and commercials, and in show self promotion....it seems you see about 5 or six actual block auctions, between all the colorful antidotes by the color men. But their on air auction selections leave a little somewhat more to be desired................

Not to worry they will all be there Saturday night when Ron Pratt shows up ......sitting in the front row.........

[Shaijack]

Been watching it all week. I want to go....

Probably just a coincidence, but they cut out a beautiful 55 Merc convert and a 60's big Lincoln sedan due to commercials.

A 1961 Galaxie convert drew big bucks (100K), and a 2005 retro TBird did pretty well in the mid 30's. One of the very early sales, a 55 Ford Crown Vic, was a gorgeous car. Just as sharp as a 55 Chevy. (I think the 56 CVic was nicer than the 56 Chevy.)

Lot's of baby birds, but GM still dominates.

Right about commercials and self promotion.

I DVR all the shows, and fast forward through the commercials and cars that don't interest me. Saves a lot of time.

Barrett Jackson is OK lots of high dollar stuff. Mechum auctions, I get this on speed channel usually every Saturaday night, I love to watch. They have afforadable & great selection of all cars with real knowledgable commentators. I keep a droll rag next to me for the shows. Check it out if you never watched, awsome cars.

That 61 Galaxie went for big bux, did anyone besides me notice the lumpy bodywork on the bottom of the passenger door?
Scary for a 6 digit car to have crappy bodywork. They advertised it as "all original" .

[HiHoSilver]

Maybe they are SOO popular, that no one wants to sell em. =D

[NXSBOB]

The babe (B/J employee) that works with with bidders and that is married to one of Auctioneers (Spanky?) makes the show for me! What is her name?
