passion, innovation and community

WALWORTH, WI – June 1, 2026 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Mecum Auctions, home of The World’s Largest Collector Car Auction®, is proud to announce a new five-year partnership with Wildfire Lifts , a rapidly growing automotive lift company known for its enthusiast-driven approach, innovative high-quality products and deep roots in car culture. This new partnership brings together two companies with a shared passion for the automotive lifestyle and a commitment to serving collectors, restorers and enthusiasts across the car community. The new partnership will kick off at the Mecum Tulsa auction, slated for June 5-6, where attendees will have the opportunity to see the lifts in person and speak with Wildfire Lift representatives, including Co-Owner Derek Bieri from Vice Grip Garage.
