All New Carlisle Auctions Summer Sale Kicks Off June 16, 2018

We dig Carlisle Events. Lance Miller and the gang are true car aficionados and always throw a good party. Check out their latest hootenanny. If you haven’t been to a Carlisle Event, you must add it to your bucket list. Not only are the fairgrounds and Expo Center a slice of old school Americana, but any trip there should incorporate a visit to the quaint and lovely town of Carlisle.  A must see.  

CARLISLE, PA – Fresh off its best auction of all-time, Spring Carlisle, Carlisle Auctions returns to the Carlisle Expo Center to host its third event of the year, the Carlisle Auctions Summer Sale.  This event is ALL NEW and runs June 16th only, starting at 11 a.m.  The Summer Sale is a little different from the other events that Carlisle Auctions offers.  While it still has cars, people, excitement and the “Free Unless Sold Guarantee,” there are new features connected to the Summer Sale, making it more of a festival atmosphere than ever before.

The core of the day of course, is cars and trucks crossing the auction block.  There are 200+ slated.  These rides span nearly 100 years of automotive history and many will cross the block without a reserve price.  While others will carry a reserve, they are also the high-end, high-caliber cars.  Showcased for sale in June is a 2006, low mileage Ford GT.  In addition, another sexy Ford comes to Carlisle; a 1966 Shelby GT350H.  Yet another gem is a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible.  Any of those cars would be THE perfect way to cruise into summer!

What makes it more of a festival and community event are the add-ons.  While generations of classics are slated, future collectibles will be on-site too.  The new products showcase is anchored by a trio of local dealers.  Those dealers, Family Ford of Carlisle, Carlisle Cadillac/Buick/GMC of Carlisle and Lawrence Chevrolet of Mechanicsburg aim to bring some of their hot new rides for guests to experience firsthand.  Also, spectator admission is FREE!  Come one, come all and enjoy the Summer Sale.

Further, via a local vendor, there will be food trucks available too, serving up great fare that is quite different from your standard burgers and hot dogs.  And…what would great food be without a cool beverage?  The local flavor continues with samples from local breweries and wineries.
