It’s showtime in Lakeland, Florida for Carlisle Auctions and car lovers throughout the Sunshine State and southeast region will converge on the SUN ‘n FUN Campus for two amazing days of classic and collector car excitement.  Auction wise, it all starts on February 22 at 10:30 a.m. when the first of some 400+ consignments cross the block, consignments that will offer a little something for everyone’s automotive tastes.

While each consignment could easily have its own dedicated write-up, the best way to sum up the available lots are to say that decades of history will be up for grabs.  Consignments span nearly 100 years and much of that rich production history will be available.  Those looking to bid and buy can attend and do so with the confidence that many years, many makes and many models specific to their tastes could be theirs for the right price.  There literally is something for everyone as part of this automotive history lesson.

But why this auction?  First of all, it’s in Florida and unless a Polar Vortex and bone-chilling cold is your kind of fun, the sun of the Sunshine State is draw in and of itself.  Add that in to an automotive flea market, car corral, car show, air plane rides and more, and Winter AutoFest is one of many great entertainment venues to consider too! 

As noted above, Carlisle Auctions will feature a wide array of consignments, but this year is extra special due to a heavy Corvette presence at the show.  For the first-time ever, the National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS) brings its Winter Regional Meet to Winter AutoFest.  As such, Carlisle Auctions will feature an all-Corvette power hour on Saturday, February 23 at approximately 12:30 p.m..  Consignments are expected to span all seven generations, from the solid axel C1 of the early ‘50s to the modern-day powerhouse C7.

“The Carlisle Auction team is thrilled to be returning to Lakeland, Florida for Winter AutoFest,” noted Director of Auction Operations Tony Cline.  “With well over 400 consignments, we are looking forward to the biggest and best auction that we have ever presented in Lakeland.”
