Scottsdale is the home of some of the nation's largest car auctions, with seven main auctions in January alone, such as Barrett-Jackson, R-M, Gooding's, Russo & Steele, or the Silver Auctions.  GRG founders Leo Gephart and Cactus Jack Gartley, who opened this new non-profit international auto museum last year at the Pavilions, both have over 40 years experience as collectors. Visitors can see this Howard Hughes 1936 Lincoln and the new all electric Tesla Roadster sports car.  GRG Scottsdale International Auto Museum sits in the old Mervyns site at Indian Bend and the 101, where they fill the 75,000 square foot space with cars owned by Gephart and his friends, and others on loan, making the collection constantly rotating as cars go up for auction.  For ten dollars, visit this museum seven days a week, from 10-6 Mon-Fri, and until 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
