Dan Morphy, president and founder of Morphy Auctions, said the move into antique and vintage cars was a natural transition. “There’s a tremendous amount of crossover between buyers of antique firearms, toys and advertising – three of our core categories – and those who collect classic cars,” Morphy said. “Many of our consignors have expressed the desire to consign their automobiles and motorcycles to us, and now we have a division dedicated exclusively to handling those consignments.”

“Our first auction will take place on October 11, 2014, after the October Hershey and Carlisle car shows,” Morphy continued. “We’ll be conducting the sale at our Lancaster County auction facility, which is an easy drive from both shows.”

Many of Morphy’s existing employees have a strong interest in cars and motorcycles, however specialists are being hired for the automobile and motorcycle division.

The new division welcomes all motor vehicles of interest to today’s collectors, whether they’re luxury cars of the Art Deco era, popular muscle cars of the 1960s or classic motorcycles. These sales will follow the Morphy Auctions guideline of offering “fresh to the market” items. Morphy said he is offering “very attractive terms” to potential consignors, and cars are already rolling in.

“Each of our sales will be high-quality, well-produced events,” Morphy said. “Our second auction will be offsite and is scheduled for 2015 in Las Vegas. Going forward, in addition to an annual Pennsylvania-based sale, we will host one remote sale per year, always at a location that car and motorcycle collectors enjoy. As the division continues to grow, so will the number of auctions each year.”
