Bidding on a beauty.
On Saturday we headed west for my first Murdo in May classic car auction at Pioneer Auto. After a quick trip to Murdo, I was really getting excited and wondered how such a small town in rural South Dakota can attract so many car enthusiasts.
I lost count of the number of people attending, but there must have been several hundred car lovers enjoying the day.
There was plenty of shopping at the Swap Meet/Auction, and the Murdo Lions club did a great job keeping hungry people satisfied with hamburgers and hot dogs all weekend.
Things really kicked off Friday with the parade, awards for best cars and free live music. People from all across the country attended, and I was lucky to meet people from as close as South Dakota and as far as Washington.

Going once…going twice…
Saturday morning the McPherson Auction team opened bidding to a record number of attendees at the classic car auction. Some of my favorites included a 1936 Dodge Street Rod Coupe and a 1955 Pontiac Star Fire convertible – unfortunately, I wasn’t able to take either one home.
The whole weekend was a great experience and I loved seeing all of the classic cars. I can’t wait to make the trip next year – you could say I’m sold!
