Classic Car Market Update: September 2020

After a disappointing August, September 2020 makes it seem like we’re back on track. The market was up 9% to $73.0m in USD denominated sales, compared to $67.1m in September 2019. Nice to see growth even when massive events such as Mecum Dallas were delayed until October.

Sales were down 26% for the quarter (Q320), largely due to the lack of blockbuster sales at the physical auctions that usually take place in August during Monterrey Car Week.
