About Barrett-Jackson Auction Company:

The Barrett-Jackson Auction Company (BJAC) is a multifaceted media, technology and auction company. BJAC specializes in live events, media content creation, automotive auctions/dealerships, financial services, and logistics. BJAC was founded in 1967 and has grown to be a brand known worldwide. BJAC and its partners put on must attended events throughout the United States which have become part of American pop-culture. These events are now known outside of the Automotive industry and attended by an eclectic group, celebrities, musicians, car collectors, car enthusiasts and general festival attendees.

BJAC was founded by Scottsdale business partners Tom Barrett and Russ Jackson. The first Barrett-Jackson auction, originally meant as a one-time event, was held in December 1971. Due to its success, it became an annual event, eventually prompting the creation of other collector car auctions in the Scottsdale area. Craig Jackson took over full operations in 1995, following the death of his brother and his father. Jackson added vendors and live entertainment to the auction events increasing popularity and eventually leading to Speedvision network, later Speed Channel, to begin broadcasting the auctions in 1996 with the History and FYI channels broadcasting today.
