We Interviewed the Classic Car Auction King: Craig Jackson, CEO of Barrett-Jackson

May 14, 2020

We had the opportunity of interviewing one of the most important people in classic car culture: The one and only Craig Jackson! Craig is the Chariman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson , arguably the biggest classic car auction house in the United States. They are celebrating 50 years come 2021!

Craig talked to us about how restomodded classics have taken the auction block by storm. He also tells us about their online only auction happening now. Barrett-Jackson is also continuing its longstanding tradition of running auctions for charity. Legendary NASCAR team owner Richard Childress has for the first time donated one of the cars from his personal collection, a Dale Earnhardt’s RACE DRIVEN and RACE WINNING car. All proceeds go to benefit Feeding America and Samaritan’s Purse (COVID-19 first responders).

Check out the charity car here. We would be shocked if Cleetus McFarland doesn’t bid on and win this one! Come on guys, #doitfordale
