BSCAmerica's Bel Air Auto Auction moved more than 2,600 vehicles through the auction blocks at its 2024 Harvest Sale, and the auction posted a 70% overall sale.
The auction one of the longest-running promotions in the industry on Oct. 10th: its Annual Harvest Sale. As the leaves changed from green to gold and the air turned crisp along the Chesapeake Bay, Bel Air Auto Auction welcomed the arrival of autumn, opening its doors to dealers from the Eastern Seaboard and beyond who gathered to buy cars, trucks and SUVs, take part in multiple prize drawings, share in good food and comradery and admire a special consignment of classic cars.
The auction held a gala Preview Party on the evening before the sale, where guests enjoyed a buffet dinner and music, along with the chance to preview some of the classic cars scheduled for auction the following day. They also tested their driving skills in a race car simulator from Hendrick’s racing, which put them in a NASCAR driver’s seat at Darlington Raceway.
Kicking off the festivities on sale day was a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the debut of two new lanes at Bel Air Auto Auction. With the added lanes, the auction now offers vehicles on twelve lanes, adding one more lane for dealer consignments and an additional lane for fleet/lease vehicles. Chosen for the honor of cutting the ribbon to start the sale was Angie Bishop, who recently celebrated 40 years as an employee of Bel Air Auto Auction.
A busy day of buying and selling concluded with a time-honored tradition at Bel Air’s Harvest Sale: its Classic Car Sale. This year’s event was marked by the sale of the most expensive car ever sold at Bel Air: a 2021 McLaren 765LT for $387,000.
