The Florida sun was beaming down on rural Kissimmee as enthusiasts poured into Osceola Heritage Park for Mecum’s season-opening Super Bowl of collector car auctions. Mecum Kissimmee 2026 doesn’t just open the calendar—it sets the tone. Big tents, big energy, and big expectations surrounded one of the largest collector car gatherings on the planet, and CorvSport was there to tell a deeper, smarter story than ever before. This year isn’t just about hammer prices—it’s about patterns, momentum, and what the Corvette market is really telling us as the gates swing open on a new auction season.

A Bigger Lens On Mecum’s Biggest Stage

For the first time, CorvSport is digging all the way in at Mecum Kissimmee, treating the opener not as a highlight reel—but as a market checkpoint. This feature continues our exclusive CorvSport Mecum Tracker, where we’ve tracked Corvette sales across every Mecum venue since 2024. The result is a clear-eyed look at where the market has been, where it’s holding firm, and where cracks—or opportunities—may be forming. And it all starts here, at Kissimmee, the biggest tent of them all.
