I'd say it definitely would! I don't disagree with your observation in regard to bidding /purchasing … but I've noticed in recent years the auction(s) is almost becoming secondary to the event. Tesla and BMW joined the other car companies in the manufacturing pavilion this year … the new Tesla SUV is off the hook. Got to drive the new Ford Edge Sport model at the Ford display, bought a bunch of detailing supplies at half off, and just tons of other fun stuff. I guess all I'm saying is if you're a car guy … BJ is an awesome place to spend a week in January when you live in the cold Midwest. And … I did pick up a sign at the auction that I had been looking for … didn't overpay and won't go back to the automobilia auction the rest of the week.
