MECUM HEADS TO SCHAUMBURG FOR THE CHICAGO AUCTION
This week we are heading to Schaumburg for the annual Mecum Chicago Auction, Thursday, October 6, through Saturday, October 8. This may not be their biggest auction, but the fact is Nobody sells more than Mecum. Nobody. Mecum Auctions is our Official Title Sponsor and is the world leader of collector car, vintage and antique motorcycle, and Road Art sales, hosting auctions throughout the United States. And don’t think for a minute that this is a small auction, as Dana and the crew have over 1,000 vehicles scheduled to cross the block along with some great Road Art.
We will be set up with a display to talk about the upcoming Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show. And if you aren’t on our mailing list or not sure if you are, be sure to stop by and sign up. Our brand new MCACN 80 page magazine is on the press right now and we will be mailing it out in a few weeks. You can get your FREE copy by signing up at the Mecum Auction or here right now. I am very proud of the new magazine. It is filled with cars and people that you will see at the MCACN show this year. Although there is no way to cover everything, it certainly gives you a good pre-show peek at what we’ve been up to, and I’m confident that after reading it, you won’t want to miss the show when we return to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, (suburban Chicago), Illinois, just minutes from the Chicago O’Hare Airport. And speaking of the O’Hare Airport, let me say there are some really great deals on flights right now. Since there is no need to rent a car, you can fly in, take one of the free shuttles either right to our show or to one of our Official Host Hotels, and enjoy the show!
HOST HOTELS UPDATE; YES...it is true that the DoubleTree O’Hare and the Embassy Suites O’Hare are now sold out. We have taken up nearly every room in both of these hotels, but not to worry...we have availability at THREE MORE Official Host Hotels, all with great rates and extra perks for our MCACN participants and spectators. The Hyatt O’Hare has Kings at a rate of just $119 per night with $10 daily parking. This hotel is attached to the convention center via an overhead “bridge” so you never need to go outside. The Crowne Plaza O’Hare, right across the street, has Kings at a rate of $108 per night with parking at just $10 per day. Then we have the cool aLoft, located behind the Crowne Plaza and right across from the big 150 store outlet mall, with rooms at $127 per night with FREE daily parking and door to door shuttle service. So there...we have the bases covered with great hotels, excellent rates and perfect locations!
Car Entry; We are just about full with limited remaining openings. We have a few spots in our Corvette Central Triple Diamond display and competition and the Modern Muscle area and some single car spots. We are set for nearly all of the Invitational displays, but still looking for a White Boss 351, a few 1966’s, and 2-3 more Barn Find/Hidden Gems. If you have something that you would like to show, please let me know asap as we will be in a “standby/sold out” mode very soon.
Vendor Entry; Commercial “A” is now sold out. We do have limited openings in our Commercial “B” area. This is a great way to get your business into the action and rates are just $200 per 10 x 12’ space. Must be automotive related, as we do not allow headset hawkers, travel agencies or other non car related businesses.
Sell Your Car at MCACN; We have openings in our standard Car Corral for sale area at the back of the “big” room. Price is just $100 per spot and we move these cars in Saturday morning. We have five remaining spots in our VIP Car For Sale area at $250 per car. These cars must be pre-qualified high quality muscle cars or Corvettes, and they will be located in the center hall with larger spots. We stanchion the perimeter of this special showcase section. We also have on onsite staff member stationed here during open show hours to contact you when a hot prospect shows interest in your car, so that you can enjoy the show and not be tied to it all weekend. No additional fees are assessed for either Car For Sale area.
Hope to see you at the Mecum Chicago Auction!
