Branson Auction this weekend

The Branson Auction is now in its fourth decade of offering service to buyers, sellers, collectors and auto enthusiasts.

Founded by Mark Trimble in the early 1980s, and purchased by Jim Cox in 1988, the Branson Auction has always been steeped in service. The Branson Auction, one of the region's largest and most successful automotive events, was purchased in 2024 by Roger and Mary Napper, and they, along with son Joshua and his wife Shelby, look forward to a successful future of getting to know their customers and expanding their business.

Roger and Mary have been in the automotive business since 1988 and are passionate about their classic and collector car hobby.

"We've been doing business with the Branson Auction for over 35 years, going back to the White Water parking lot days," said Roger. "Our business approach will continue to be about service. Service to the collector, the restorer, the mechanic, transporter, insurance provider and all who come in contact with the individuals that love their cars, bikes, boats or memorabilia."

The Branson Auction is held each year, spring and fall at the Branson Convention Center. The next auction is set for Friday and Saturday, October 17 and 18.

Some of the many vehicles offered this weekend include a 1938 Buick Model 48 two-door Coupe, a 1946 Chevrolet one-ton pickup, a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS Tribute Coupe, a Clenet Series II, 1931 Ford Roadster and a 1948 Lincoln Continental two-door Coupe.

This weekend's auction begins at 10 a.m. each day, Friday and Saturday, with tickets on sale at 9 a.m. each day. The event is open to the public. General admission tickets are $15 each day, or a two-day pass for $15.   

"We strive to make sure our clientele, whether buyers or sellers, feel great about their dealings with our auction, and want them to keep coming back each April and October, year after year," said Napper.
