Mecum Auctions will expand into Tennessee this fall with the inaugural Mecum Nashville auction, set for Sept. 23–26 at Nashville Superspeedway in Lebanon. The four-day event marks Mecum’s first auction at the Superspeedway and establishes a significant new stop on the company’s nationwide schedule, bringing its nationally recognized collector car auction experience to the region at an unprecedented scale, auction officials stated in a press release.
