PRESENTING A BEHIND THE SCENES LOOK; MCACN AFTER HOURS LIVE!
We are always looking for ways to spread the word about what we do. Our good friend and Official Videographer Kevin Oeste and the V8TV crew came up with an outstanding concept. MCACN AFTER HOURS LIVE is an all-new video streaming experience designed to share some of the best cars and stories of the MCACN show with Muscle Car fans all over the world. As most of you know, the MCACN event is just as much about the people and the stories as it is the cars. MCACN AFTER HOURS LIVE will provide a personalized, front-row experience through streaming media to share the sights and stories of the show, and to meet the personalities who make it all happen, in an exciting, LIVE experience!
HOW WILL THIS WORK?
Unlike many shows, the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show embraces the media and allows credentialed members of the media overnight access to the show. To be surrounded by some of the best Muscle Cars on the planet in a lights-on, uncovered, closed-door setting is nothing short of surreal. MCACN AFTER HOURS LIVE aims to share that magical experience with enthusiasts all over the world, delivering a virtual “private tour” of the show. Hosted by Kevin Oeste (Muscle Car Of The Week, V8TV, SEMA, MCACN) we’ll show the cars, share the stories, and chat with the people who make it all happen, and we’re doing it live, streaming on various sites and pages for the world to watch and share.
MCACN AFTER HOURS goes live after the doors close to the public on Saturday night, November 17, around 8:00 PM, and continues to stream throughout the night. We’ll be live into the wee hours, stopping the broadcast only when the last story is shared.
Best of all, MCACN AFTER HOURS LIVE is easy to share via sponsor and enthusiast social media outlets, and will no doubt be shared by enthusiasts all over the world. The potential audience is enormous, and the video will be archived, shareable, and viewable forever. There is no show like MCACN, and there’s never been coverage like MCACN AFTER HOURS LIVE! You don’t have to join a club, pay a fee or jump through hoops, as Kevin and his team will make this easily accessible for anyone who wants to get a real behind the scenes look. As we get closer to the show, we’ll let everyone know how to join us and who and what we will be discussing and showing.
There is nothing quite like being at the show in the middle of all the action. We do realize, however, that sometimes it isn’t possible to join us in person. We hope this new feature will give anyone unable to join us a reason to make sure you never miss our show, as we plan on continuing to “raise the bar” by producing an event unlike any other for many years to come. Special Thanks go out to Kevin and the V8TV crew for adding an exciting new element to our show for enthusiasts worldwide. If you know someone who may not be able to join us, please share this news!
MECUM DALLAS THIS WEEK! This week the Mecum Auctions team is in Dallas with over 1,000 cars and trucks crossing the block October 3-6. I want to tell you about one that is a true stand out. Our good friend Dave Molnar, (aka Kelly’s husband) built an absolutely incredible 1968 Highland Green real S-code 390, 4-speed Mustang GT Bullet Replica. If you saw the 69.5 Super Bee he and Kelly unveiled with us last year, you know the quality of his work.Dave finished this car just a few weeks ago, and since a certain car that he has been trying to buy for years became available, this one needs a new home. Believe me when I say, the car is as fresh as can be, built to perfection and the detail and extensive paperwork is beyond belief. This is a REAL Highland Green 390, 4-speed GT and the option list is mighty impressive. If you ever wanted a true show stopper that can also be driven, this is the car for you. Click here for the specs and bid to own when it crosses the block Saturday! https://www.mecum.com/lots/

ALL NEW WEBSITE; We are pleased to announce we have an all new and extremely easy to navigate website. Designed from the ground up by Ian, it does a great job of showing features and most importantly, answering questions. There are drop-down boxes that provide links to pages that cover just about everything. Please note the drop-down boxes are easily accessed by hovering over the red bar. Chances are, the answer to your question is covered, and if it isn’t you can directly e-mail us. We have online applications for cars and vendors, explanations of all of our judging categories, types of vendor spaces offered, photo galleries, lists of past show winners and much more. Since our phones are exceptionally busy this time of year and we don’t have much time to chat, please use the site whenever possible. It’s not that we don’t want to talk, it’s just the simple fact that there are only a few of us here, and we never have enough hours in the day to get the work done. Note; Bottom line regarding questions is that e-mail and text is always best, as Vicki always monitors both for me/BA.
