FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 6, 2007

 

Honolulu, HI - Kruse International’s would like to announce the Inaugural Hawaii Classic Car Auction and Show. This exciting new event is being held at the beautiful Hawaii Convention Center in the resort city of Honolulu. The facility is both grand in appearance as well as functional for showcasing fine collector cars, trucks and motorcycles. Of course Honolulu offers fabulous dining, shopping and tourist activities to complement the Auction excitement.

The Hawaii Auction will take place the weekend of February 8th & 9th, 2008 with over 300 cars expected. The event is presented by co-sponsor’s Pasha Group and JN Group, Inc. Scheduled kick-off is on Friday afternoon with a public preview fundraiser with preview proceeds being donated to the Honolulu Food Bank. We continue the evening with a Gala Party for invited guests, as well as a short auction program to conclude the festivities.

Saturday gates open at 8:00 AM with a full day of auctioning classics, vintage, and custom vehicles beginning at 10:00 AM. Sunday is left open for your Hawaii enjoyment with pristine beaches, dining, and shopping, plus the added excitement of the NFL Pro Bowl game in Honolulu on Sunday Feb. 9th. There will be Pro Bowl action everywhere--make some new friends or enjoy beach tailgating with your favorite group.

Hawaii is the perfect location in many ways: it’s an ideal climate for a venue, and also it’s in an affluent and financially growing geographic area. But clearly the one point that makes a “Hawaiian Auction Now” the right time, is the availability of value-priced Roll-on/Roll-off automobile shipping. Our event co-sponsor PASHA GROUP, a worldwide leader in shipping, offers rates starting at $975 mainland / Hawaii routes on their new purpose built Roll-on/Roll-off ship the Jean Ann. Safe, economical, and efficient--that’s the PASHA way for your classic car.

Finally we were complemented when Hawaii’s JN Auto Group, offering the greatest motorcar & motorcycle marques to Hawaii and its neighbors since 1961, decided to come on board as a co-sponsor. We welcome JN and appreciate their presence at the event showcasing great late model classics. Additionally, our sponsor Bank of America will be on site offering 100% financing (call 866-277-5365). Also National Car Rental will provide you with a choice vehicle for your island exploring by calling 1-800-CAR RENT and requesting ID # 6402900.

The Island cars located by Robert Parker Smith for consignment to the auction have been of a diverse vintage and genre but, with a few consistencies: good quality, reasonable reserves and ready for new owners. Feedback among our mainland enthusiasts is positive and upbeat for the opportunity to trade collector vehicles in beautiful Hawaii, truly an attractive venue for all. The mainland collectors will be looking for the rare and unusual island cars, while offering a stable of fresh stateside inventory. There will certainly be an exchange of money and machines, and to those who say you can’t buy happiness, they must have no passion for fine motorcars.

We invite you to come enjoy our 50th State, celebrate old cars, new sunsets, the island breezes, and allow the Hawaiian magic to make a memorable collector car affair for you.
