One hundred years of American automotive history hits the auction block at no reserve Saturday morning in North Little Rock.

The Salmon Brothers Collection (click here for online information), offered by Mecum Auctions, includes nearly 140 American collector cars.

The auction, at 4343 Roundtop Road (click here for map), ranges from a 1908 Maxwell (Lot S71) to a 2008 Roush-powered Ford Mustang (Lot S140).

Twin brothers and Arkansas natives, Tom and Don Salmon, have spent well over half a century amassing an incredible collection of classic and collector automobiles with one common theme; American made. With an example of nearly every major domestic manufacturer represented in the collection, this special event will be a true celebration of the American automobile.   

Among the impressive line-up of vehicles crossing the block on this action packed day include:
  • an original 1957 Pontiac Bonneville (Lot S73)
  • a rare 1957 fuel-injected Chevy Nomad (Lot S76)
  • a stunning 1934 Cadillac Fleetwood V12 All-Weather Phaeton (S81) that is one of only 3 ever produced.
A handful of engines and road art will also be offered throughout the day.

Bidder credentials ($100 fee) are required for admission into the auction. Bidder registration can be completed at the door. All registered bidders receive a commemorative copy of the Salmon Brothers Collection Catalog.

Those unable to attend in person can take in all the action during the live web broadcast at Mecum.com with multiple camera angles and play-by-play commentary by automotive experts John Kraman and David Newhardt.
