Gem of a ’56 Ford F-100 for Auction at Barrett-Jackson Hot August Nights
Each year, Barrett-Jackson holds world-famous auctions in Scottsdale, Arizona; Palm Beach, Florida and Las Vegas, Nevada.
For 2013, Barrett-Jackson has introduced a new event in Reno, Nevada — the Hot August Nights Auction Presented by Barrett-Jackson, happening August 8th to the 10th at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center. The new auction will serve as one of the main attractions during the 27th annual Hot August Nights classic car festival, which brings in hundreds of thousands of people for its show-n-shines, cruises, drag races and concerts.
Here is one of the classics that will be crossing the auction block in Reno:
Barrett-Jackson Lot 411 – 1956 Ford F-100 Custom
When it comes to 1956 Ford F-100s, they don’t get any classier than this. So much love has been put into this vehicle’s restoration. After thousands of hours of hard work, we get to have a look at probably the best classic truck to be auctioned at Hot August Nights. A mixture of factory-original touches and modern upgrades make this ’56 very appealing for someone who wants to drive it frequently. It’s got a 302, an automatic transmission, power brakes, power steering and radial tires. Check out the gallery below for a better look at one of this auction’s gems.
The Hot August Nights Auction serves as the replacement for the popular Barrett-Jackson Orange County Auction that ran from 2010 to 2012. According to Barrett-Jackson, the Southern California event outgrew its location at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa.
Hot August Nights kicks off Friday, August 2nd and Saturday, August 3rd on the Nevada side of south Lake Tahoe. The event continues in Reno/Sparks August 6th to 11th.
