We reflect on the whirlwind that was 2024 at BaT. There's a temporal argument leading up to an extended plug for our upcoming event at Otto Car Club during Arizona Car week; excitement for Retromobile in Paris; what everyone got up to over the holidays; teaching kids the highs and lows about old trucks in the snow; the most popular makes, models, and production years of 2024; bad poker habits; bad auction timing for a hi-po Benz; a brief and very angular flash in the pan; favorite listings from the past year; values to be had in the 1950s Italian market; our greatly improved listing turnaround times; our professional goals for 2025; and a new role for Randy.
