PHOENIX — If you love flashy cars than you might want to head out to Mecum Auctions in Glendale this week.

The family-friendly car event is in its sixth year and will be held at State Farm Stadium on Tuesday thru Saturday.

Up for auction are 2,000 American muscle cars, classics, Corvettes, trucks, exotics, restored and modified cars and hot rods. Car consignors and registered bidders from across the country take part in the auction.

A last year’s Glendale event, Mecum auction sales brought in more than $54 million, selling 942 classic and collector cars. A top-notch 1967 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Coupe sold for $1.8 million.
