We opened up the tour with dinner at Fuel Social Club, a car enthusiast club house that had a golf simulator, two professional race simulators, a cigar lounge, bar, and viewing aera for F1 watch parties. The following morning began with a brisk drive through the countryside of Indiana as we drove to Upland, Indiana to tour a private collection that housed some very significant Hemi cars, race cars, and memorabilia. For lunch we ate the one-of-a-kind Ivanhoes that is known globally for their extensive 100-flavor list of shakes and sundaes. From there we gathered back to our cars and were off to Fort Wayne, Indiana to meet members and tour the 122^nd Fighter Wing, home of the BlackSnakes. The final stop of the day was the award-winning Auburn City Steakhouse for a private dinner with an array of options and of course, drinks.

After our jam-packed Thursday, Friday morning was spent with breakfast at the historic Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum where we also got a behind the scenes tour. After that, it was back to Worldwide Auctioneers headquarters, as day one of the Enthusiast Auction began. The tour concluded with the second day of the auction where we sold a variety of memorabilia and over 130 collector cars, and had another successful auction in the home of the classics.

Day 1 began with a brisk drive through the countryside of Indiana as we drove to South Bend to tour a private, award-winning collection. Consisting of mainly pre-war classics, the collection had well over 50 cars and featured multiple concours-winning vehicles, many of which were shown at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. For lunch, we traveled downtown and ate at the historic Studebaker Mansion and had a delicious four-course meal. This was followed by a private tour of the historic Notre Dame football stadium in South Bend, Indiana. During the tour, we parked right outside the stadium in front of “touch-down Jesus”, received access to the locker rooms, and walked the football field. To round out the day, we stopped at Das Dutchman Essenhaus in Middlebury for a unique Amish-style dinner.

The tour concluded with the 3^rd annual Enthusiast Auction in Auburn, Indiana. Auctioning off a variety of memorabilia and 90 collector cars, the top sale would be a 1936 Delahaye 135M Competition Court Cabriolet that sold for an impressive $1,160,000.

Starting at our global headquarters in Auburn, Indiana, our first stop was a very rare and exclusive private tour of Larry Gerig’s massive Corvette collection. It was then onto lunch where we ate at Joseph Decuis, which is known around the country for its award-winning Wagyu beef and sides. After lunch, we toured another private invitation-only collection that was comprised of every Indy 500 Corvette pace car, a 2005 Ford GT, and multiple prototype Ford vehicles. The private collection even had its own “town” with a movie theater, bike shop, replica gas station, Chevy dealership, and a diner in it. To cap the night off, we relished a catered dinner at a three-story car collection that had cars on each level, thanks to a built-in car elevator.

The tour concluded with the 2^nd annual spring Enthusiast Auction in Auburn, Indiana. Auctioning off a vast variety of memorabilia and 66 collector cars, the top sale was a 1930 Cadillac Series 452 V-16 Roadster that sold for an impressive $758,500.
