More than 20,000 people from around the world are expected to descend on Downtown Palm Springs this weekend for the 23rd annual Palm Springs Exotic Car Auction.
More than 550 classic cars valued at over $15 million will be on display at the event, slated for Nov. 21-23, in the parking lot of the Spa Resort Casino, according to auction founder and organizer Keith McCormick.
The event begins Friday with a 4 p.m. auction of 80 vehicles crossing the block. Friday is also free admission for everyone.
Saturday and Sunday, the gates will open at 8 a.m. with the first car crossing the block at 10 a.m. General admission is $10 per day or $15 for both days.
The auction, a much-loved Palm Springs tourist attraction, draws buyers and sellers from overseas, across the country and from the Coachella Valley. Some come to buy, some come to sell, and others come to get an up-close look at classic American cars that include the GTO, GTX, Corvette, Shelby Cobra, Ford Mustang and other vintages cars like Bentley and Rolls Royce, McCormick said.
