CARTERSVILLE, Ga., Oct. 8, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Richmond Auctions, a company known for its high-end advertising memorabilia and automobilia, is set to host its inaugural Fall Spectacular at the Savoy Automobile Museum in Cartersville, Georgia, on October 16 and 17. The two-day event will feature more than 125 classic and collector vehicles, along with 400 pieces of vintage automobilia and memorabilia.
Among the highlights of the auction are Dave Kindig's 2024 Ridler Award winner, the TwelveAir, and a 2021 Ford GT Liquid Carbon Edition, one of only 30 produced. Ford selected each of the original 30 buyers rather than offering the limited model through a traditional public sales process, making its appearance at auction a notable opportunity for collectors.
The auction will also showcase a significant collection of vintage advertising, automobilia, petroliana, and country-store memorabilia. This extensive array of artifacts will bring together the vehicles, artifacts, and stories that have shaped America's automotive culture. Bidders can participate in person, online, by phone, or through the Richmond Auctions app.
Richmond Auctions, founded by Jordan Richmond and Mike McCandless, has already made a significant mark in the collector car market. The company surpassed $100 million in gross auction sales in under four years, including a world-record sale of a 1929 MusGo Gasoline porcelain sign for more than $1.5 million. The auction's first major automobile sale, the 2025 Tony Townley Collection auction, generated more than $25 million in sales, achieved a 99.8% sell-through rate, and attracted registered bidders from around the world.
The Savoy Automobile Museum, which opened in December 2021 on an approximately 37-acre campus, will serve as the perfect venue for the event. The connection between Richmond Auctions and the Savoy Automobile Museum is personal for Mike McCandless, whose private McCandless Collection contributed four Chrysler Letter Cars to Savoy's 2026 The Mighty 300 exhibition.
The auction will begin at 10 a.m. ET on Friday, October 16, and continue on Saturday, October 17. Bidders can participate live onsite or online through Richmond Auctions. The event promises to bring together enthusiasts and collectors from across the country, offering a unique opportunity to acquire rare and valuable pieces of automotive history.
The auction will feature a diverse range of vehicles, from pre-war automobiles and American muscle cars to racing machinery, modern performance vehicles, and award-winning customs. The inclusion of the TwelveAir and the 2021 Ford GT Liquid Carbon Edition underscores Richmond Auctions' commitment to offering top-tier collector cars and memorabilia to its audience.
