WALWORTH, Wis. – April 14, 2015 – The Mecum Houston 2015 auction held this past weekend was an enormous success with 645 vehicles sold of the total 934 offered for a pronounced 70-percent sell-through rate and $25,285,163 in total sales.

With the top 10 sales in Houston populated by a healthy mix of pre-war classics, muscle cars from the Golden Era, as well as representations from several other prominent categories, the cars speak for themselves: the market is thriving and Mecum has them all. With the near-1,000-car lineup, Mecum’s annual Houston auction continues to keep the pulse of the collector-car market and serves as an excellent representation of today’s healthy supply and demand among even the widest array of enthusiasts.
