Starting Sunday, Jan. 13, Barrett-Jackson's Authentic Automobilia Auction will begin, sending auto enthusiasts and fans of nostalgic collectibles alike into a frenzy of bidding. With many one-of-a-kind items crossing the block, you definitely don't want to miss out! Here are a few highlights for which you might want to keep an eye out:
Lot #6491: VINTAGE AUTOGRAPHED MUNICIPAL TRAFFIC LIGHT
This amazing item is signed by Carroll Shelby, Bob Bondurant, Don Prudhomme and Linda Vaughan - all true automotive legends - and boasts a certificate of authenticity from the Carroll Shelby Foundation. It's the only traffic light in existence with these four autographs!
One of just two ever created, this sign is near-mint and features articulated neon around the wheels. Perfect for Chevy lovers and history buffs alike!
From the late teens, this brass and metal tire air hand pump is a fantastic relic of a time before most of us were born - and evidence that even then, the design and work going into the automotive industry were top-notch.
1920S UNITED STATES TIRES CARDBOARD FILLING STATION DISPLAY SIGN
The styling of this display sign wouldn't likely be found by a filling station today, but that only makes it more fun. Below the neat book design, it depicts a period touring car.
It's hard to beat this lot! Manufactured by Wilhelm Hennecke of Germany in 1965, it was originally commissioned for the famous annual Christmas Market of Heidelberg, Germany. 23 hand-built vehicles cruise in a circle on this beautifully crafted piece of history.
This attractive clock once served as recognition for a job well done by a Pontiac sales associate. Its handsome looks and weighty marble construction guarantee it's an award anyone can still appreciate today.
