A father and adult son at the Barrett-Jackson collector car auction in Scottsdale, Arizona

Scottsdale Car Week by Gatherwell

Now Closed for 2027. Join the 2028 Waitlist.

Thank you for the interest in our inaugural Scottsdale Car Week. The 2027 experience is now closed, and we are already planning 2028.

Joining the waitlist is free and comes with no obligation. It simply gives you first priority when 2028 spaces open, before they are offered to anyone else.

The Scottsdale auction season represents the pinnacle of the collector car world, where Barrett-Jackson, Bonhams, RM Sotheby's, and curated private collections converge each January. It is here that the world's most discerning collectors and enthusiasts gather to celebrate automotive excellence. We have designed this experience for those who share a passion for exceptional automobiles, and for the partners who appreciate the artistry and heritage behind each remarkable machine.
