SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.  – Barrett-Jackson is bringing the ultimate automotive lifestyle event back to Las Vegas from Sept. 10-12, 2026. Taking over the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, this premier auction features a spectacular docket of restored classics, authentic originals, elite restomods and late-model supercars. The excitement is just a short walk from the official host hotel, Fontainebleau Las Vegas, offering guests an unmatched blend of luxury and convenience. Among the highly anticipated vehicles set to electrify the auction block are a stunning custom 1962 Chevrolet Corvette convertible and a 1951 Cadillac Series 62 Royal Parade convertible used by Queen Elizabeth II.

“Las Vegas fully embraces the automotive lifestyle, making it the perfect setting for our upcoming September auction,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “As a global hub for premier events like Formula One, NASCAR, the NHRA Nationals, IndyCar and SEMA, the city shares our deep passion for car culture and entertainment. We’re thrilled to bring The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions back to the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, with a diverse docket, including incredible vehicles like the custom 1962 Corvette convertible and the 1951 Cadillac Series 62 Royal Parade convertible.”

Powered by its original V-8 with four-speed Hydramatic automatic transmission, the 1951 Cadillac Series 62 Royal Parade convertible was built by General Motors at the Cadillac factory as a one-off parade car for Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth prior to her accession as Queen Elizabeth II in February 1952.

It is finished in black with a black soft-top over a black interior, and features carbon-fiber interior and exterior accents, 19-inch black Hamann wheels and a steering-wheel-mounted Manettino dial derived from Formula 1.

Also crossing the block is a 2013 Chevrolet Corvette custom Split-Window Coupe powered by an LS3 engine equipped with a Lingenfelter E-Force supercharger and intercooler and backed by a six-speed automatic transmission. It is one of 14 limited-edition models built by Classic Reflection Coachworks on a 2013 C6 Corvette 60th Anniversary chassis and features an all-carbon-fiber body, inner fenders finished in silver gray, LED Vortex headlights and tinted windows.

Restored by renowned American hot-rod designer and television personality Boyd Coddington, a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette 327/360 Split-Window Fuelie set to cross the block is powered by a fuel-injected 360hp V-8 with a four-speed manual transmission. Assembled in St. Louis, Missouri, it is one of 10,594 coupes produced for 1963 and one of 3,516 finished in Sebring Silver. The product of a five-year restoration, a 1966 Ford Mustang custom fastback is powered by a Coyote V-8 with a six-speed manual transmission. Finished in 2003 SVT Cobra Torch Red (Performance Red) with white stripes, the interior is equipped with a Dakota Digital RTX gauge cluster, push-start ignition, Ringbrothers shifter components and TMI Sport 2 seats with pony inserts.
