Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach will feature vehicles from American businessman and philanthropist George Shinn’s expansive collection with No Reserve on April 7-9, at the South Florida Fairgrounds. The George Shinn Collection will include more than 30 vehicles spanning from the 1950s to the early ’70s, as well as hot rods and modern sports cars.
“Coming on the heels of Barrett-Jackson’s most successful auction in its 50-year history, we’re excited to roll into our highly anticipated return to Palm Beach with several remarkable collections,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “We’re thrilled to feature the George Shinn Collection as part of that. Like myself, George has been passionate about cars since he was a child, and he has amassed an impressive collection over the years. His select offering in Palm Beach is reflective of the incredible quality and diversity featured throughout.”
The George Shinn Collection is highlighted by: a 1958 Chevrolet Corvette 283/250 convertible, a 1957 Ford Fairlane Sunliner convertible, a 1960 Chevrolet Corvette custom convertible, a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette custom coupe, and a 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S.
“The quality of the work and craftsmanship that went into restoring and building many of the cars in George’s collection is second to none,” said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “It is truly a remarkable collection, and I look forward to seeing many lucky Barrett-Jackson bidders take home these pieces of automotive history as they cross the auction block with No Reserve in Palm Beach.”
