SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. –

Barrett-Jackson’s got a momentous celebration in the works to celebrate its 45th anniversary, scheduled for the last nine days of January.

Best known for its collector car auctions, Barrett-Jackson has already announced several headline listings for its event slated for January 23-31 at WestWorld in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Two of these collectibles will include a 1939 Mercedes-Benz 540K and Boyd Coddington’s 1938 Lincoln Coddington V12 HEMI, otherwise nicknamed “The French Connection.”

The auction is already filling its docket with more than 1,500 rare and collectible vehicles.

“Our 2016 Scottsdale auction is particularly meaningful because it celebrates our 45th anniversary,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and chief executive officer of Barrett-Jackson. “My father, Russ Jackson, and his friend, Tom Barrett, started the auction with one auction and a few select cars. More than four decades later, Barrett-Jackson has become the premier collector car auction company for enthusiasts around the world. Of course, our 45th anniversary is as much about our future as our past and that’s why we continue to bring new assets to our events, such as the Experts’ Symposiums.”
