Worldwide is growing its annual Auburn auction
Worldwide expands its Labor Day Auburn sale to three days in 2022. The Auburn auction will take place September 1-3 at their 30-acre Kruze plaza.
Auburn, Indiana - After the terrific success of Worldwide’s annual Auburn Auction at home in Indiana last Labor Day Weekend, the company has confirmed that this September’s sale will be staged as a significantly expanded three-day event.
“Auburn is the birthplace of the collector car auction industry in America and we were excited to give our customers a taste of the magic last year, with multiple million dollar sales and some emphatic sales records,” said John Kruse, Principal and Auctioneer."
Our focus to date has been on presenting high-end, boutique-style evening sales, however the market has demanded a larger and grander affair from us here in Auburn. Our emphasis will continue to be on curating the most varied offering of quality cars that represent the very best of their type, but on a considerably bigger scale.”
The Auburn Auction is scheduled to run over Labor Day weekend, from September 1 -3, 2022, at Worldwide’s expansive Indiana headquarters campus. Visitors can look forward to a diverse selection of exceptional pre-war automobiles, racecars, sports, customs, classics and select American muscle cars, showcasing hundreds of vehicles including significant no-reserve collections, select memorabilia and a curated marketplace of automotive lifestyle vendors. Early consignments include an authentic and impeccably documented 1925 Bugatti Type 35A Grand Prix, with period racing history and a roster of former keepers that includes Louis Chiron’s patron, Fred Hoffman.
The Auburn Auction will be open to spectators and the wider community, with Worldwide’s headquarters ideally positioned to serve as the venue for a full-scale automotive event. Kruse Plaza is a 30-acre campus with a 200,000 square-foot, climate-controlled auction facility that offers ample space for both RV and vehicle parking, as well as housing the company’s dedicated private sales division, The Salon.
