Well, I can tell you it would probably feel a lot like the Barrett Jackson auction in Palm Beach, FL.  Want a non-collectable driver just for cruise nights?  They&#8217;ve got &#8216;em.  Want a concours quality ride?  You&#8217;ll find that here as well.  Automobilia ranging from signs to gas pumps?  Check.  Test drives of the latest from Ford and GM? Check.  Free booze and umbrella girls? Um, no, but you can&#8217;t have everything.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-42361\"><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_42364\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 509px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/greetings-from-barrett-jackson-palm-beach\/block\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-42364\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Block-499x317.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Block\" width=\"499\" height=\"317\" class=\"size-large wp-image-42364\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The auction is packed with people.
