The fastest‑moving car auctions are already in full swing. On December 16, three online events close their bids: Classic Car Auctions offers a curated mix of vintage Jaguars, Porsches and BMWs; Pickles Auctions runs a national classic car sale featuring Porsche, Ford and Maserati examples; and Central Maine Auction Center hosts its weekly car auction, drawing regional collectors. The following day, Insurance Auto Auctions in Raleigh opens a public car auction with a broad inventory of recent models, while Georgia‑Carolina Auto Auction presents its weekly dealer car sale, both concluding on December 17.

Beyond these immediate closings, a steady stream of dealer car auctions continues across North America. BSC America runs Thursday and Friday dealer car auctions in multiple markets, and America’s Auto Auction schedules daily online car sales through mid‑December, giving dealers and private buyers constant access to fresh inventory. Capital Auto Auction in Washington adds to the rhythm with back‑to‑back online car auctions on December 16 and 17.

Looking ahead, larger themed events are set to dominate the calendar. Gov Auctions maintains a nationwide surplus car platform where government‑seized cars can be snapped up at low starting bids. The Worldwide Auctioneers Reppert Student Auction in Auburn will showcase high‑profile cars such as a Mercedes‑Benz 300SL Gullwing and a BMW 328 Roadster later this month. Premier Auction Group’s Gulf Coast Classic Auction promises a showcase of iconic American cars, while the 55th Annual Auburn Auction & Show will bring together pre‑war classics, muscle cars and European sports cars in early 2026.

Internationally, the classic‑car calendar is packed. H&H Classics, Gooding & Company, EG Auctions, Barons Auctioneers, Silver Auctions and RM Sotheby’s all have flagship car auctions slated for 2026, featuring everything from rare European sports cars to celebrated American muscle. Mecum Auctions will also host a collector‑car event later in the year, reinforcing the continued appetite for high‑end car collecting.

Overall, the trend is clear: online bidding is expanding, dealer‑driven weekly car sales provide constant supply, and marquee classic‑car auctions are drawing global attention. Enthusiasts and investors alike can expect a vibrant, year‑round market for cars, with opportunities ranging from budget‑friendly surplus lots to multimillion‑dollar collector pieces.
