Mecum Auctions, well known for setting records and taking on new challenges, took it to another level this past weekend by holding two auctions simultaneously in two different cities located a full 600 miles apart.

Mecum Chicago 2022 was held Oct. 13-15 in Schaumburg, Illinois, and brought $15.2 million in total sales; the other, Mecum Chattanooga 2022, was held Oct. 14-15 at the Chattanooga (Tennessee) Convention Center and reached overall sales totals of $21.2m.

In all, the auction house achieved a grand total of $36.4m in total overall sales for the weekend with 1,052 vehicles sold of the 1,433 offered.

Chattanooga sales were topped by a pair of 4-speed convertibles -- a 1968 Shelby GT500KR that achieved a $302,500 selling price and a 1957 Chevrolet Corvette that sold for $220,000.
