Carlisle Auctions Fall sale covered it all, from the 1800s to 2021

CARLISLE, PA – Carlisle Auctions has seen success in 2021 to date and its Fall Carlisle Collector Car Auction yielded a similar return. This success included top dollar sales, a solid sell-through rate, and buyers and sellers alike who left Carlisle happy with their time at the event. For two days, September 30-October 1, the Carlisle Expo Center came to life with lots spanning from the 1800’s through 2021. In between, these proved once more that investing in the classic and the collector car hobby is indeed wise!

Preview day for the auction was Wednesday, September 29, though the staging area of the Carlisle Expo Center was coming to life days prior. Starting early on September 30, buyers and sellers alike flocked to the venue to check out the decades of history made available for the Fall auction. The oldest known lot was an 1800’s era Buckboard Wagon, with the newest a 2021 Ford Bronco. Running the gamut in between were decades of pre-war cars, muscle cars, daily drivers, and best of show gems were also available. 

Each day offered something special too, including an all-truck hour on Thursday and a car owned by Carlisle Events co-owner Bill Miller on Friday.  In addition, each day hosted charity sales which helped raise thousands for two great causes, the Harley’s Haven Dog Rescue and Rescue 22.  The top selling truck, by the way, was a beautiful blue 1969 Ford Bronco.

Speaking of top sellers, the top five, including the Bronco, tallied over $460,000.  

Those sales, combined with all other lots accounted for $5.7 million in sales and a 70% sell through rate.  These numbers are in line with what Carlisle Auctions saw following the Spring Carlisle Collector Car Auction and are part of a bigger picture that has resulted in the best year ever for the auction house.

As Cline mentioned Carlisle Auctions does have another event planned in 2021!  He and his team return to Lakeland, Florida for the Lakeland Fall Collector Car Auction at the SUN n’ FUN Expo Campus. Consignments are actively being processed as are requests for bidder registration.
