• The consignments cover classics, muscle cars, Corvettes, exotics, resto mods, antiques and motorcycles, with private collections sold as groups.
• Bidding runs live in the room, online and by phone at the same time.
• In 2026 the sale spread across eight fairgrounds buildings, with the Indiana Farm Bureau Fall Creek Pavilion as the main entrance and the Corteva Coliseum among the halls.
• May in Indianapolis averages a high of 23°C (73°F) and a low of 12°C (54°F), with rain on about 13 days of the month.

Best Way to Experience It

• A day splits between walking the rows of consigned cars and sitting in on the block when the cars picked out on the walk come up to sell.
• Mecum's Live Block Cam on mecum.com streams every lot, which makes it possible to keep track of the block while walking the halls.
