January 18-22, 2017
Following sixteen consecutive years in North Scottsdale as a staple of Arizona’s legendary collector car week, the most exciting collector automobile auction in the world is proud to announce a new chapter in its history by moving to their new home: The Southwest’s premiere sports and entertainment complex, Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. The annual event will take place on January 18-22, 2017 and will feature their well-established “auction in the round” formula with five days and over 800 cars crossing the block. Home to many internationally recognized professional sporting events, as well as a national mainstay for a wide variety of festivals and entertainment, the 140-acre site will serve as the ultimate host to this highly anticipated annual collector automobile lifestyle event.
“The move to Salt River Fields at Talking Stick represents a major milestone for Russo and Steele,” says auction President and CEO Drew Alcazar. “The incredible amenities and the enhanced ambiance provided by Salt River Fields at Talking Stick will certainly add an additional level of excitement and sophistication that Russo and Steele has worked many years to achieve.
