“Haul of Flame” to Cross the Block at Barrett-Jackson Hot August Nights Auction
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 142 – 1956 Ford F-100 Custom Pickup
This flaming-hot 1956 Ford F-100 in Guards Red has a 292-cubic-inch V8, and features a lowered suspension with the front axle out of a ’57. This truck was featured in advertising materials for the 2012 Reno Rockabilly Riot … it even appeared in a 2012 wall calendar. Check out more images in our gallery below.
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.
