This
year’s Corvettes at Carlisle, an always-fun show, also hosted a more serious
side with a large auction featuring 126 Corvettes up for bids. It marked the
7th annual Corvette-only auction at Carlisle and the beginning of a new era.
The late Bob Gold, a well-known Corvette dealer, conducted the first Corvettes
at Carlisle Auction in 1994. This year's auction was officially named the
“eClassics.com Corvettes at Carlisle Auction,” created by the pooling of Websites
by Hemmings Motor News, Speedvision Cable Network, and the Barrett-Jackson
Auction Company. eClassics.com has pumped up the collector car audience with
both TV and Internet bidders, another factor in the sales success of this
auction.
