“Our annual Fall Carlisle sale will wrap up what has been a fantastic year for Auctions America,” says Donnie Gould, president of Auctions America. “In keeping with our overall philosophy, the Fall Carlisle sale caters to a wide range of collectors and will surely cap off a highly successful summer at both our California and Auburn Fall events.”

This example recently won the Gold Class at the Camaro Nationals.
