I have one more post from my adventures at the Barrett Jackson auto auction. This time I'll showcase some of the vendors who surprised me. That vehicle above is made by a company called Saleen Automotive, a maker of high performance sports cars. I'd never heard of them before but, their founder Steve Saleen was due to sign some autographs later in the day. I didn't return to the area to catch a glimpse of him. However, I did admire that fantastic paint job on this car. Isn't that a gorgeous color?
This vendor takes new corvette engines and frames and makes them look like the 1960's version. If I had lots of money to spend, I might have been tempted. After all, when I was a teenager, this was my dream car. The crush I had on the stars of the old TV show "Route 66" had a lot to do with that.
This last vendor takes different off-road vehicles and turns them into luxury machines for roaming the desert and the mountains. This one has a dull finish and a very utilitarian look to it. They also had a few highly polished versions with all kinds of modern amenities inside.
There is certainly a lot to see at this event. It's not all collector cars!

That first one seems to smile at you!
I like that Vette too, Sharon!
The blue car is too fabulous Sharon, I can see myself cruising route 66 in this 😀
I do love that old-fashioned Corvette!
That third one is my favourite.
that Vette is a beauty, Sharon. I do like that colour too of the first car.
These are fascinating, Sharon. I am not a real car guy, but I admire the beauty.
So I wonder how much they are worth of cost
That first car probably has many layers of that paint. Beautiful.
