4th Annual Chevrolet Hall of fame Museum Classic Car & Memor

Post by W_A_Watson_II »

ATTENTION AUTOMOTIVE CLASSIC CAR & MEMORABILIA COLLECTORS!!!!!

It’s hard to believe it’s that time again when the 4th Annual Chevrolet Hall of Fame Museum Classic car & Memorabilia Auction will once again be taking place and we’ve got lots of new things in store for you this year! This year’s event will take place Saturday October 4th, 2014, so mark your calendar right away! There will be a preview on Friday October 3rd from 4:00pm – 7:00pm (CST). The auction will get under way at 9:00 am on Saturday but we are suggesting prospective bidders be there early to get their bidder passes and get registered before auction starts. Gates will open at 7:30 am (CST).

New this year will be the location! This year the event will be held at the fabulous Progress City, USA, located on Decatur’s far Northeast side near Interstate 72. This is a fantastic location obviously known in the Midwest for great events such as the permanent location for the Farm Progress Show. The auction block will be indoors again this year and all automobiles will drive across the auction block. Plus, there will be fantastic public parking just inside the gate very close to the auction site for everyone’s convenience! To help with advertising costs, the admission fee will remain at $3.00 per head and will be subtracted from any purchase a bidder makes.

The format will change this year for our bidder’s convenience! There will be no memorabilia auction on Friday night this year. There will be an auction preview only this year on Friday evening. The memorabilia will be auctioned off this year in conjunction with the automobiles. No garage cleanout or rummage sale items will be accepted for consignment. Only quality memorabilia items, signs, gas pumps, etc. will be accepted for consignment.

We are pleased that for the 4th year in a row one of the top auctioneers in the Midwest and his staff will be assisting in auctioning off your vehicle and memorabilia. Jack Wilkerson of Hayden-Wilkerson Auction Service, a Decatur based firm will be doing all auctioneering on Saturday October 4th. Event organizer LaVelle Hunt feels confident he has the best and most experienced auction staff he could put together for this great Central Illinois event.

We are equally pleased that we have teamed up with some great partners for this year’s event. Dynagraphics/Fast Impressions – another Decatur based firm that has emerged as a top central Illinois provider for printing, copying, graphics, banners, wraps, etc. continues for the 4th year in a row. Cromwell Radio Group, which houses six great radio stations in the Decatur, IL. market, which include Talk 101, 105.1 Jack FM, 106.7 The Fox, 93.1 The Party, Magic 98 and 93.5 Griz FM as well as 21 other managing affiliate stations in four other markets. Also this year, Midwest Diesel Trucks, your diesel pickup truck headquarters from Decatur, IL. has come on board as a partner as well as Miles Chevrolet, downstate Illinois’ number one volume dealer for this year’s auction. Also, Wheels & Deals, central Illinois’ largest picture classified magazine remains as a partner for the 4th year in a row. Event organizers are pleased that such quality organizations and businesses have come on board for this great event.

On hand this year for drinks, food and concessions will be Dixie’s Concession’s offering breakfast and lunch and drinks sure to please everyone.

Make sure you arrive early to get yourself registered and get your bidder pass. A completed bank “Letter OF CREDIT” must be on file in order to obtain a bidder pass. No checks will be accepted this year in lieu of the bank letter of credit. $1000 in cash will be accepted and refunded if no purchase made. If there is a purchase made the $1000 will be credited toward that purchase. A sample bank letter of credit can be obtained from the Chevrolet Hall of Fame Museum website. http://www.chevrolethalloffamemuseum.com

Also new this year, all checks and credit cards will be accepted for purchase only as they will be approved at the time of the transaction of the purchase. If telecheck does not approve your check, it will not be accepted. All buyers will sign a bidder/buyer agreement stating they know all units and/or merchandise is being sold “as is” with no implied warranty and that if they are awarded the high bid they will be responsible and liable for payment for their purchase. No exceptions.
