Mecum Auction at Monterey 2009

By , About.com Guide

The Mecum Auction Company has been specializing in the sale of collector cars, muscle cars and Corvettes for more than 20 years. In spring 2008, the company sold its 50,000th car. But in 2009, they made their first appearance on the Monterey Peninsula's annual Classic Car event.

We have been wanting attend a Mecum event because the muscle car arena is not where we are the most knowledgeable and could learn a great deal with each car that goes up on Mecum's block. So we thought Monterey would be a good start, especially when we heard that the 1965 Daytona Shelby Coupe was in the 200 car line-up.

Mecum did bring some muscle to Monterey including 25 Corvettes, but they also had some high-end classic and exotic cars cross the auction block. We've put together this photo gallery to give you an idea of the variety cars bidders got to choose from.
