Well-known automotive enthusiast Gordon McCall has joined the team at Barrett-Jackson to launch and maintain the new Salon Offering Collection division for high-end classics and other top collector cars for auction.

McCall’s first task will be to work with buyers and sellers to promote the Salon Offering Collection and add his 30 years of expertise and knowledge to the division, designed to bring top-echelon vehicles to the auction block with reserve pricing.

The addition of the new division is seen as a return to Barrett-Jackson’s roots, which started 41 years ago selling classic cars in Scottsdale.

“Gordon is uniquely qualified to work with these high-end classics and their consigners and buyers,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “His decades of experience combined with the people he knows will help to ensure that Barrett-Jackson will always provide buyers with the finest vehicles on the market.”

A Class judge at the Pebble Beach Concour’s d’Elegance and Field Coordinator for more than 25 years, Gordon is the co-founder and Motorsports Director for the world-renowned The Quail A Motorsports Gathering and the latest addition, The Quail A Motorcycle Gathering.
