On Thursday, August 1, 2024, Bettendorf Americana kicks off for three days of car shows, swap meets, antique shows, live music, and a Richmond Auction event. Like Monterey Car Week, it’s a multitude of events within an event. Founded by American Pickers’ Rob Wolfe, August 2, Richmond Auctions will be selling off hundreds of select pieces of automobilia, petroliana, advertising, and more.
“We’re looking forward to this one-of-a-kind opportunity to work alongside Rob Wolfe of American Pickers and bring this auction to life,” said Jordan Richmond, owner and founder of Richmond Auctions. “Rob Wolfe is an icon, and we know that this event will be like no other. We are excited to present this assortment of unique pieces to collectors and enthusiasts alike.”
Open to both in-person and online bidding, collectors can participate anywhere they can get an Internet connection. Hosted by the Isle Casino Hotel Bettendorf, the event, entering its’ second year, is growing to become a national attraction. Situated on the banks of the Mississippi River, the event benefits local students through trade scholarships and will host more than 500 special interest cars, and over 200 petroliana, automobilia, coin-op, and advertising dealers.
