MECUM Road Art & On-Time BREAK/FIX the Motorsports & Vehicle Enthusiast Podcast

    • Automotive

What started in 1988 with little more than a few helpers around a family dining room table, this company is now the world’s largest collector car auction company with the most auctions, the most consignments, and with more $700 million in total sales in 2023. Mecum Auctions maintains its close-knit family atmosphere with many team members who have been onboard since the company’s inception and its first auction at the Rockford, Illinois, airport.

While MECUM Auctions continues to expand its catalog of offerings to include an even wider array of collectibles encompassing entry-level to investment-grade classic and collector cars, vintage and antique motorcycles, signs and memorabilia items like gas pumps, pedal cars and clocks, and even collector-grade tractors and farm relics.

To more effectively manage the growth of Mecum’s Road Art and automobilia divisions, the company has expanded into Road Art and On-Time divisions, and joining us is Melissa Smith, the new Director of Mecum On Time to tell us more about Mecum’s Road Art and Mecum On Time programs.
