CARLISLE, Pa. – After a successful inaugural auction season that saw more than 500 cars cross the block in 2006, Carlisle Events is back with an exciting assortment of auction cars in 2007. Last year’s auction vehicles had a combined total value of more than $16 million, and buyers and sellers came from as far away as the West Coast and Florida to join the two gatherings.
Beginning with the Spring Auction, April 20-21, and culminating with the Fall Auction, October 5-6, Carlisle Events is set to provide action, excitement and hundreds of special cars up for bid. With several hundred cars already in the pipeline and a few celebrity cars in the mix, the Spring Auction promises to be the most exciting one yet.
Both auctions will take place at the Carlisle Expo Center, just one block from the Carlisle Fairgrounds, with the Spring Auction accompanying the 31st Annual Spring Carlisle Collector Car Swap Meet and Corral, and the Fall Auction held in conjunction with Fall Carlisle.
Carlisle Senior Manager Bill Miller III is enthusiastic about the upcoming Spring Carlisle Collector Car Auction, “Coming off a successful first year of auctions in ’06, we’re really excited about the 2007 events. We learned a lot in our first year that we plan to put into action at this year’s auctions. We already have a number of significant cars consigned, and have many interested consignors that we are talking with. If you are a potential consignor or bidder, contact us now as lots are filling quickly. Carlisle Collector Car Auctions’ tagline is Real Cars, Real People. Unlike some of the higher-profile auctions seen on TV, we try to cater to the audiences that regularly attend Carlisle’s Spring and Fall events. It’s great entertainment, a chance to see some fine, classic automobiles from all eras and genres and an opportunity for the average enthusiast to buy or sell a car. If you haven’t experienced one of our auctions, give us a try; you won’t be disappointed. Don’t miss the excitement at our Spring Auction.”
Now is the time to consign a car or register to bid. For more information on being a BUYER or SELLER, please see the corresponding areas on the web site www.CarlisleAuctions.com . If you would like to speak with us directly, contact Auction Manager Dennis Baish at 717-243-7855 ext. 167 or email him at dennisb@CarlisleEvents.com Don’t miss the auction action at Carlisle.

FORD INTERCEPTOR CONCEPT COMES TO CARLISLE IN JUNE
CARLISLE, Pa. – Ford officials announced recently that its Interceptor Concept car will be on display at the Carlisle All-Ford Nationals on June 1-3, 2007. Ford describes their new concept vehicle, “The Ford Interceptor celebrates the best of American muscle, combining ‘Built Ford Tough’ attitude with the sporty elegance of Ford’s iconic ‘60s sedans.”
Under the hood, the Interceptor touts a Ford Racing 5.0-liter Cammer engine that runs on E-85 ethanol and produces 400 horsepower. Recently, an automotive critic described the concept this way, “The Interceptor concept is much like a Marine in dress uniform. He looks smart and elegant, but you can see the raw power that lies beneath.”
Ford Motor Company also announced a popular addition to the All-Ford Nats in a Ride and Drive demonstration that allows attendees to actually test drive new Ford vehicles during the show. At the present time, the Fusion and Edge will both be available for test drives. Other models may be added; keep an eye on the Carlisle Events web site for additional information www.CarlisleEvents.com
2007 is the 40th anniversary of the legendary Mercury Cougar. Fans won’t want to miss this fine exhibit of some of the nicest cars to ever come out of Detroit. Event manager Rick Markko noted that “We are looking for outstanding examples of this interesting automobile. We plan to have a special invitational display and a huge showfield of Cougars. If people are interested in showing off their Cougars, get in touch with us.”
If you own a Mustang Mach I, this will be a GIGANTIC event that you will want to attend! We would like to display your Mach I in a special area that will include all years of the famous Mach I. The cars will be assigned to various classes and participant balloting will determine first, second and third place for each class. Awards will be given to class winners and other selected awards will be a part of this event.
Starsky & Hutch fans will be thrilled with the turnout of red and white Torinos. So far 25 of them are signed up to join the Ford fun at Carlisle. Ford only made 1,000 of these Limited Edition “Starsky & Hutch” Gran Torinos in the spring of 1976 recognizing the popularity of both the show and the car during the ‘70s.
“A Rare Pair” will be on display together for the first time. A 1929 Model A Sedan and a ’29 Model A Closed Cab Truck were purchased as siblings in 1929. They were separated for a number of years, and recovered and restored separately by current owner, Bob Luczun. Both are excellent examples of low mileage and fine condition for vehicles almost 80 years old.
Come out and see David Pearson and Bud Moore, two legendary NASCAR icons as they sign autographs and chat with fans. Bud Moore Engineering will be bringing a 1967 Cougar prototype race car. Al Joniec of drag racing celebrity will join in the fun with one of his race cars.
Beginning in 1990 Ford produced a series of convertibles and marketed them as “Feature Cars.” These Mustang convertibles were green, red, triple white and canary yellow. For the first time, Carlisle Events will be displaying these rare convertibles and encourage all owners of these collectibles to join the party!
Anniversaries abound at Carlisle this year. It’s also the 50th anniversary of the Edsel and the Ranchero. 2007 is the 25th Anniversary of the Ford EXP and Mercury LN7. These two unique cars started out life as sporty two-seaters and this year Carlisle will join with the EXP/LN7 Owners Club in their celebration. If you have one, bring it out and show it off! Whatever you do make sure you check them out on the show field.
As always we have lots of fun activities like burnouts, a beauty contest, dyno testing, wing-eating contest, a huge showfield and car corral, and plenty of great food. There’s something for the entire family…while dad is walking the National Parts Depot Showfield, mom can go to the Women’s Oasis and the kids can visit Kids at Carlisle. Don’t miss the Sunday Giveaway at the stage at 3 p.m. The lucky winner will receive a great older car or $5,000 in cash. Must be present to win.

PERFORMANCE & STYLE A BIG HIT
CARLISLE, Pa. – Fans of aftermarket customizations, In-Car Entertainment (ICE) buffs and folks who just enjoy beautiful cars came to Carlisle in droves this past weekend. They saw some great tricked out cars and entertainment, and also enjoyed a beautiful Central Pennsylvania spring weekend.
The attendees were treated to some thrilling entertainment provided by The Starboyz motorcycle stunt team that performs exciting “don’t-try-these-at-home” stunts on their motorcycles. A new event this year was the Drifting demonstrations performed by local and national Drifters. Drifting is the ability to control your car through turns as the cars slides around corners. This event proved to be very popular. Event Manager Rich Dallas commented, “When you bring a new event to the show, you never know how it will be received. The drifting demo was well-attended and the crowds appeared to really enjoy it.”
The ICE House display showcased vehicles that demonstrated the art of in-car entertainment; in many cases, to the extreme. The Project Gotham car contained a total of 110 video monitors and some outlandish amount of sub-woofers. There was lots of neon and plenty of enthusiasm. Magazine Alley brought the spectators cars that have been featured in their favorite magazines. Two of the leading builders in the P&S genre, RJ deVera and Neil Tjin, were on hand to talk with fans and sign autographs throughout the weekend.
The popular wing eating contest, beauty contest and burnouts all took place at the stage on Saturday afternoon. The results are below:
Chomping down on 25 wings in record time, Mark Murphy of Pittston, Pennsylvania won the P&S Wing-eating Contest sponsored by the North Hanover Grill.
Mike Swartz of Carlisle “smoked ‘em” until they popped in the P&S Burnout Contest. His ride was a ’96 Acura Integra GSR. He managed to blow both tires!
Beauty was abundant at the P&S Beauty Contest. Winner Ashley “Nicki” Gerz from Gordonville, Pennsylvania took top honors. She was followed in second place by veteran winner Amanda Lawson of Carlisle. Jessica Link of Allentown, Pennsylvania took third place honors.
Awards for different classes and styles of cars were awarded on Sunday. The winners can be found on the P&S event details page http://carsatcarlisle.com/pands/details.asp
We encourage those who attended Performance & Style this weekend to take our after-event survey. It can be found at this address http://www.carsatcarlisle.com/pands/survey.asp Rich Dallas noted, ”This is your show. I hope you will give us your feedback on what you liked, what we could improve or what you’d like to see us add for next year’s event. We really want to know what you think.”
