KIKO Classic Cars To Hold Two Day Auction at Cleveland I-X Center
KIKO Classic Car Auctions is please to announce their 2nd Annual Spring Premier Classic Car &
Memorabilia Auction to be held at the Cleveland I-X Center, One I-X Center Dr., Cleveland, OH in
conjunction with the 45th Annual Cleveland Federated Auto Parts Auto-Rama with memorabilia
Friday, March 18 starting at 4:00PM and classic vehicles Saturday, March 19 at 1:00PM. On Friday,
March 18 at 4:00PM this year’s absolute auction will feature a full day of petroliana and
automobile memorabilia from one man’s collection. Items up for auction on Friday will include
signs, a Coca-Cola cooler, oilers, pedal cars, pumps and much more! All from one man’s 50+
year collection. Bruce Peoples, Classic Car Specialist & Curator, said, “I have never seen so much
memorabilia in one guy’s collection that took the time to restore it all. It’s pretty incredible, not
like he collected it and threw it in a building. He took each piece and restored it…very unique.”
On Saturday, March 19 at 1:00PM the Premier Classic Cars & Motorcycles will be offered at
absolute auction, with no reserve. One of the highlights of this auction includes an Internationally
award winning 1956 Ford Thunderbird that received the 2010 Gold Medallion Award at the CTCI
International Convention. Mr. Peoples, who has spent his life working with classic cars said, When
I first started my inspection of this car, I was amazed at it’s condition and was almost afraid to
touch the vehicle. We are pleased to present this 1956 Ford Thunderbird at our auction.” Other
vehicles featured in the auction range from a one of a kind Orange County Chopper entitled “Heat
of the Battle II”, which was custom made in commemoration of 9/11 to a 1959 Chevy Corvette
Convertible to a very rare 1931 Ford Roadster Convertible. This will be KIKO’s 2nd Annual Spring
Premier Classic Car Auction at the I-X Center since the change to the Ohio Revised Code now
enabling classic car owners a new option in selling their classic vehicles at large scale classic car
auctions like those seen on TV in other states. Heather Marks, marketing manager, stated, “The
Classic Car Team is thrilled to be back at the I-X Center with the Auto-Rama and happy that they
can provide this premier option to buyers and sellers of classic vehicles.” Kiko Auctioneers has
