Vice President of Consignments Frank Mecum shared, “When my dad (Dana Mecum) left the auction arena at the conclusion of Mecum Kissimmee in January, he said ‘4,000 next year,’ and he meant it. Despite the demanding auction schedule that remains for this year, our consignment agents have been hustling to achieve Dana’s goal. We have less than 60 days before Mecum Kissimmee 2023 opens.”
In 2021, the Mecum Kissimmee auction was able to achieve a record of $217 million in sales, making it the first ever live collector car auction to go above $200 million.
