A BAD DAY AT THE AUCTION

[RIMSPOKE]

THE RUSSO & STEELE CAR AUCTION AT SCOTTSDALE , AZ

HAD SEVERE WEATHER PROBLEMS LAST NIGHT .

HIGH WINDS TOOK DOWN TENTS , POLES & LIGHTS ALL OVER

HUNDREDS OF RESTORED CARS WAITING TO BE AUCTIONED .

HOMES IN THE AREA WERE DAMAGED AS WELL . IT WAS SO

BAD THAT THE GOVERNOR DECLARED A STATE OF EMERGENCY .

IT LOOKS LIKE THE AUCTION IS OVER FOR NOW WHILE THEY TRY

TO CLEAN UP THE MESS AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS BROKEN .

FORTUNATELY , IT LOOKS LIKE NO ONE WAS INJURED .

THE ONE ISETTA THAT WAS THERE TO BE SOLD WAS NOT DAMAGED .

Sad - Lots of roof dents- I can't imagine how pissed off all of the type A restorers were. Slides are not for the faint of heart.

That sucks....looks like Barrett-Jackson was spared damage though.
