Broad Arrow Auctions Announces Partnership with the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival, Will Host Collector Car Auction Alongside Festival Programming for 2024
2024年7月9日 - 11:54PM
Broad Arrow Auctions, a Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY) company, is thrilled
to announce the addition of a fourth and final U.S.-based auction
for the 2024 calendar year that will see approximately 100
collector cars crossing the block as part of the 2024 Chattanooga
Motorcar Festival. The partnership unites the fast-growing Motoring
Festival, now in its fifth year, alongside a Broad Arrow boutique
auction set to feature a wide array of collector cars on October
12, 2024.
Kenneth Ahn, President of Hagerty Marketplace and Broad
Arrow, states, “We are thrilled by the opportunity to be working
with the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival, its founder Byron DeFoor,
and his talented team. Chattanooga, Tennessee is a tremendous
backdrop to hold our auction, and we could not be more pleased to
partner with the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival to support the
Neuroscience Innovation Foundation, raising funds and awareness for
a worthy cause, while shining a light on the exciting developments
in downtown Chattanooga.”
Byron DeFoor, Founder of the Chattanooga Motorcar
Festival states, “It gives me great pleasure to welcome my
automotive enthusiast friends to our beautiful city each October
and this year, we could not be more pleased to welcome Broad Arrow
and Hagerty to be an integral part of the event and witness the
transformation that our city undergoes in preparation for the
festivities. I am equally proud that our event will again benefit
the Neuroscience Innovation Foundation (NIF). I am humbled by the
opportunity to not only support such worthy causes but to do so
through the collector car community. We look forward to welcoming
everyone to our wonderful city this October 11-13 for an exciting
weekend of activities.”
Donnie Gould, Senior Car Specialist, states, “Chattanooga
has long been a key location in the car collecting world and there
are a number of significant collectors and collections located in
the region with whom we have very strong relationships. Notably,
Chattanooga is only a day’s drive away from nearly 80% of the
continental US population, so it sits virtually at the epicenter of
so many population hubs. We are delighted to support their passion
in the region and an outstanding motorcar festival and concours by
assembling a roster of cars of interest to our core global
clientele. Even now, as we announce the auction, we expect
consignment interest to be quite strong.”
