ENGINES ROAR AS BARRETT-JACKSON CAR COLLECTOR AUCTION RETURNS TO PALM BEACH COUNTY

The Barrett-Jackson Car Collector Auction returns to the South Florida Fairgrounds April 16–18, 2026, bringing its high-energy automotive showcase back to Palm Beach County. First launched in 2003, the nationally recognized event continues to attract collectors, car enthusiasts, media crews, and thousands of visitors to the region. The auction broadcasts live on The History Channel and FYI.

The event is also featured across several series on The Palm Beaches TV, including Passport to The Palm Beaches, Bright Life of The Palm Beaches, and Equestrian Life of The Palm Beaches.

“Our first Palm Beach Auction in 2003 launched what has become a world-class tradition,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “We’ve created incredible moments here, selling coveted collectible vehicles, raising millions of dollars for charity and hosting a multitude of entertainment, sports and business icons. We look forward to bringing that Barrett-Jackson magic back to Florida this April. I invite everyone to check out our Select Preview to get a glimpse of the incredible collectible vehicles in the lineup for April.”

Hundreds of collector vehicles cross the auction block, with bidders competing for rare muscle cars, classics, and high-performance vehicles. Highlights include a custom Barbie pink Land Rover, a 1979 Ferrari 308 GTS Targa featured in Magnum, P.I., a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, and a 1963 Corvette Split-Window Coupe known as “The Black Widow.” The nationally broadcast event further spotlights Palm Beach County as a destination for high-profile productions and large-scale live coverage.
