More than 400 pieces of authentic automobilia items are set to sell during the no reserve Automobilia Auction at the 2018 Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas Auction at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Bidders will have between 8:30-11 a.m. each day during the Sept. 27-29 event to take home a variety of coveted pieces, highlighted by 50 items from the Robert K. Haines Sr. Estate Collection.

The entire automobilia auction will be streamed live at Barrett-Jackson.com and through the Beyond the Block mobile app, with remote bidding available via ProxiBid.

“We have put together an excellent selection of authentic items, including many from the esteemed collection of Robert K. Haines Sr., for Las Vegas that we are excited to offer entirely at No Reserve,” said Rory Brinkman, director of automobilia for Barrett-Jackson. “Mr. Haines won best in class several times during the 1980s and 1990s at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, culminating with his best of show win in 1995 for his 1931 Isotta Fraschini Cabriolet. Not only was he a nationally recognized car collector, but he also had an affinity for automobilia, focused on original service station and auto-dealership signs, which will be on full display at Mandalay Bay.”

“Collecting automobilia is in many ways similar to building a car collection and often offers an emotional or nostalgic connection to the owner,” said Steve Davis, Barrett-Jackson president. “Our automobilia auctions have opened the door for so many automotive enthusiasts to get their hands on authentic pieces that are a wonderful accent to home décor, garages and automotive collections. We are excited to offer a wide variety of items dating as far back as the early 20th century that fans can bid on and take home.”
