7 Percent Year-Over-Year Decrease Balanced by Predicted Growth in $10+ Million Vehicles
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (August 3, 2016)– Hagerty forecasts $370 million in sales for the upcoming collector car auctions in and around Monterey, Calif., August 18-21. This represents a 7 percent year-over-year reduction in estimated auction sales totals.
With a 5 percent reduction in vehicles offered, more vehicles will be offered in the $10+ million range this year (11, compared to 10 in 2015).
The top 10 expected sales, including several "once-in-a-lifetime" offerings, include:
Modern Classics (1980 and newer models) continue to be the biggest growth segment for the overall market and represent 24 percent of cars on offer in Monterey. Specifically, 2010 and newer models make up 4 percent of all cars offered -- more than twice as many as the preceding two years.
Another trend specific to the Monterey Auctions: fewer 1950s and 1960s vehicles will be offered. The number of 1950s vehicles on offer has steadily fallen since 2009 when it peaked at 29%. In 2016, only 16% of vehicles are from the 1950s. The 1960s segment has also fallen since it peaked at 34% in 2014, as 1960s cars represent 27% of offerings in 2016.
“This year’s Monterey auctions will put the market dynamics to the test,” said McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty. “We have a confluence of factors – including several important and rare cars on offer and the emergence of a new generation of collectible vehicles – all being balanced by an overall market that is experiencing slower growth.”
According to the Hagerty Market Rating, the classic car market has leveled-out since its all-time high in May 2015 but is still within “expanding market” territory.
