These successes provide the experience that obtains results. Kruse International is also known as the largest collector car auction company that sells more vintage cars than all other firms combined. Together, the Kruse family has broken more than 250 world record prices in the collector car industry. Dean Kruse, the current owner and president, cried his 5,000th auction in August of 1987 becoming the youngest individual to attain that goal. He has been building on that total since that time. The company conducted the world's first annual consignment collector car auction in Auburn, Indiana in 1971. Since that time the Kruse Fall Auction, held each Labor Day weekend, has become the world's largest event of its kind and annually draws 5,000 collectible vehicles for sale and 200,000 attendees. This event is the fourth largest spectator event in Indiana, surpassed only by the Indianapolis 500, the Brickyard 400, and the Indiana State Fair. The company prides itself on being associated with other professional auctioneers throughout the United States and on providing the highest level of customer service. This coupled with dedicated employees and support personnel create an atmosphere of expertise and unequaled selling success.
