() Sending the car to the repair shop, Ye Mo went directly to Rosewick County.

The exhibition was in a small airport in the suburbs, and Ye Mo found this place according to the navigation.

Ye Mo had been to the famous Garden Rock Beach Auto Show before, and this time, the North American Tour Auto Show of Classic Cars was not inferior in scale. After buying a ticket, Ye Mo parked the car in the woods and walked over. It was a little late, and many people were already ready to leave.

Walking through the woods, Ye Mo remembered the live broadcast, and took out his mobile phone to open the live broadcast room.

It is a large car show, divided into a private exhibition area and an official exhibition area. The official exhibition area is located in the hangar, where the cars are labeled, model, age, mileage, price. These are the vehicles that will be auctioned, and the prices above are also the starting prices. Most of the sources of vehicles are sent to auction from private collections, and there may also be collections from manufacturers. The starting price is high and low, the high is tens of thousands of dollars, and the low price is only a few thousand.

Ye Mo looked at a lot of classic cars that were older than his father's, and even a 1923 Ford ......

To his surprise, the cars were all brand new. The exterior paint, the interior inside, and even the engine are all brand new like a new car. Occasionally, I see a few old cars, and their prices are much more expensive than the same 'new cars'.

Ye Mo looked at the car and occasionally interacted with the audience.

At this time, it was already late at night in China, and the live broadcast had just started, and only a few people came in, and Ye Mo was also happy and quiet. Take a look at the ......

"Hey, man." Mike came out of the auction hall, found Ye Mo, saw him talking to himself with his mobile phone, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I'm ...... live broadcast" Ye Mo pointed the camera at Mike: "He's my friend." Car fanatic...... Mike, I have a question, are these classic cars? ”

"Of course. Many of the cars were older than my grandfather's age......"

"I found a very interesting phenomenon. I couldn't see a single rusty screw in a car that had been kept for decades. Don't tell me that your American industry has reached the point where it can stand still. "A lot of the cars look like they've just left the factory, with the new paint shining and the seat cushions not showing any wear and tear.

"Please." Mike exaggerated his hands and said, "No one is going to send a tattered car to auction." Most of the cars here are refurbished and restored vehicles...... For example, this 73-year-old Dodge muscle car, the starting price is 18,000. If it were the original car, the starting price of this Dodge would have tripled at least. ”

The original car, that is, the whole vehicle is original parts from beginning to end, without any major defects, and can be driven after simple maintenance. It is extremely difficult to keep a classic car that has been stored for decades. The price of most original classic cars is quite high, basically starting at $50,000, and the final price even reaches more than 100,000 dollars.

Restored classic cars are a popular way to play in North America and Europe. Some of the ultimate classic car players, or those with very limited funds but a lot of time, will go to scrap yards everywhere in search of old cars that are worth restoring.

The only thing they see as valuable is a car shell, which can be sold for as little as a few hundred dollars. For avid classic car players, it's not difficult to do it yourself. The successful recovery is several times the profit.

The United States has a long history of car culture, especially classic cars.

It's not just a value, it's a culture. At the same time, it has also created a large number of companies focusing on the production and sales of classic car accessories. From the body sheet metal to the engine, from the dashboard to the carpet, all the qiē accessories can be bought with new products that are close to or exactly the same as the original car configuration.

"Let's go, let's go to the auction hall and have a look. It's time for the finale of the show. ”

Walking into the venue, the host's report was like a RAP, and the speed of speech was so fast that it had a strong sense of rhythm, and Ye Mo sounded very difficult.

I found a seat below and sat down and listened to the host explain the upcoming auction car.

Among the finale of several classic cars, one of the light blue Rolls-Royces was sold for just $79,000 after some competition. After all, it's not a rare style, and $76,000 is already a good deal.

Ye Mo is not very interested in classic cars, and he mainly comes here to pass the time out of boredom......

"Below is the Alfa Romeo ......"

Speaking of this name, many people may not know that when Alfa Romeo was in Europe in the 1950s, BMW's product range was far less rich than Alfa Romeo and was struggling on the verge of bankruptcy, even Ferrari, the number one brand in sports cars now, can only be compared to the short man next to the giant.

The one that appeared for auction was still a restored car, which was not very rare, and finally sold for $271,000.

The auction prices of classic cars that came up next continued to rise. What remains now is mostly for the final finale of the show, a very rare 1958 BMW 507 Series IIRoadster, a total of only 252 units in the United States. More than 60 years have passed, but it is unknown how many are still preserved.

The engine of this one on auction is completely original, all the components of the car are original, the odometer is only 18,525 kilometers, and the maintenance is very good.

"Only 252 units of the classic 507 Roadster were put on the market in the United States. Powered by a 3,168cc V8 engine with a maximum power of more than 145 horsepower......" as the finale, the car has a starting price of $2.1 million. In fact, the 1958 BMW 507 was featured at the 2014 Emilia Classic Car Show, when it sold for a staggering $2.4 million.

The shape of this car is good, the modern shape of the convertible sports car, and it is also the silver white that Ye Mo likes.

Then it's time to bid.

The starting price of $2.1 million has reached $2.4 million in the blink of an eye, but apparently, this has not reached its limit yet.

Investing in some luxury classic cars with scarce ownership is no less than real estate. Many wealthy people are flocking to it......

The starting price of 2.1 million has reached 2.5 million after several rounds of bidding, and then the increase has been much slower. There are also bids of 1,000 or 2,000, and rarely more than 5,000.

The price finally stopped at the figure of 2.558 million.

"2.558 million, for the first time!"

Mike's eyes were red with jealousy, and he whispered in Ye Mo's ear, "If I have the money, I will definitely buy it." Put it in the garage and let it slowly increase in value......"

The auctioneer dropped the second hammer: "2.558 million, the second time!" Don't have a higher offer? ”

The auction raised the hammer in his hand again, and Ye Mo finally made a move: "2.56 million." ”

Ye Mo offered 2.56 million yuan, and the bidder increased the price by $1,000 again. Ye Mo paid back another $1,000......

In the end, Ye Mo won the bid at a price of $2.57 million.
