From March 17–21, Mecum rolled into Glendale, Arizona, for its second big tent sale of 2026, transforming State Farm Stadium into a five-day hub of collector car energy. Enthusiasts from across the country converged on one of the largest auctions in the business, where more than 1,300 vehicles crossed the block. With Kissimmee setting the tone earlier this year, Glendale arrived as the next proving ground—another opportunity to see how the market responds as the season begins to take shape.
