Branson, MO — On October 16 and 17, 2015, approximately 6,500 car collectors and enthusiasts will be gathering again for the Fall series of the 37th Annual Branson Auction at the Branson Convention Center. More than 250 cars of all vintages, makes and models are already drawing the attention of collectors and spectators in six surrounding states via Branson Auction’s social networks, many of whom publicly attribute the event’s quality and continuous success to its founders Jim and Kathy Cox.

The 2014 recipient of the prestigious Lee Iacocca Award for his “dedication to excellence in perpetuating an American automotive tradition” at Keeneland Concours d’Elegance, Jim Cox is world-renowned for his acute knowledge and expertise in the manufacturing, mechanics, performance, restoration, and valuation of autos dating back to their origin, including everything from American- and European-made to elite imports and celebrity rides. In fact, owners have proclaimed Cox’s ability to circle the wagons, so to speak, to get a car in shape for prime time at showcases when there was no other hope.

A well-respected spokesperson and authority on the most complex engine mechanics, Cox sponsors the Keeneland Concours d’Elegance in Lexington, Kentucky, and is a frequent presenter at various collector showcases, races and media productions on topics like “Inside the Engine of a Rolls Royce” and “Interview with a Hudson”. Cox sponsors and presents the annual Gatsby Award for his Alma Mater Kansas City Art Institute’s “Art of the Car” scholarship, for which he was also a previous recipient of the Alumni Award.

“I love doing this because I love the memories these cars hold and their history — not just the history of the cars but of the people that come with them,” says Jim Cox. “This auction is particularly special in terms of history because some of them come with unique documented memories. One is a 1959 Buick Electra 225 convertible that was featured in the movie These Old Broads where it was driven by Peter Graves, and carried Elizabeth Taylor, Debbie Reynolds, Shirley MacLaine and Joan Collins, and that autographed movie memorabilia comes with the car.”

With annual sales of $6.5 million to $7.5 million, The Branson Auction historically attracts 6,500-7,000 collectors, consignors, bidders and car enthusiasts to Southwest Missouri twice a year for auto auctions that are praised in many collector car circles coast-to-coast. More than 250 must-have sports, muscle, vintage, classic, custom and antique automobiles make their appearance and are bid on by enthusiasts, collectors, and gearheads from around the world.

The 37th Bi-Annual Branson Auction will be held at the Branson Convention Center in downtown Branson, MO, and consignments are now being accepted. Beginning at 12:00 noon on Friday October 16th and 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 17th, the event is open to the public at a price of $10 or $15 for a 2-day pass. Tickets are on sale at the venue at 10:00 am on Friday and 8:00 am on Saturday. The consignment list is available for preview at www.BransonAuction.com and is updated regularly between now and the October event along with historical auction results.
