Hershey at Home 2020 Auction Moves $5.6 Million Worth of Pre-war and Brass Era Vehicles

JACKSON, Miss., Oct. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Vault just wrapped up the Hershey at Home 2020 online auction, and what an auction it was! Over 130+ cars, including some as old as 120 years were auctioned to a live online audience of several thousand registered bidders at no minimum and no reserve. Not only did the sale boast some of the most historic and rare vehicles, but it also marked a historic moment for The Vault as they debuted their own online auction platform, SonicBidder.com, to host the sale. Sonic Bidder uses fast-paced bidding action with addictive sounds and an enthralling techno beat to create a Monte Carlo casino feeling. It was an exhilarating afternoon of high-speed, online bidding that made a lot of car collectors happy, renewed interest in antique brass vehicles, and proved The Vault to be a leader in the automotive industry, not just in the state of Mississippi but in international markets too. It also proved Sonic Bidder to be a formidable and super intuitive online platform perfect for any auction big or small.

CONSIGNORS
This sale was made possible with pieces from two collections. The Evergreen Historic Automobiles collection supplied by Steve Plaster of Lebanon, Missouri, and the private collection of David A. Haines from Memphis, Tennessee.

Plaster began his car collection with his father many years ago. His illustrious fleet of pre-war and brass era vehicles are on display at the Evergreen Historic Automobile complex in Missouri.

Haines has been an avid car collector for 30+ years. His 55-year tenure in the electrical contracting business allows him to add new pieces to his eclectic collection. From the Halloween adorned Crypt Deville to his collection within a collection of 29 vintage fire trucks, Haines’ collection is as diverse as it is entertaining.

HIGHLIGHTS
The Hershey at Home 2020 Auction’s gross sales reached over 5.6 million dollars, but the individual stats that helped to draw in that number are incredible in their own right. For example, the digital marketing campaign launched by The Vault drew over 16 million impressions globally during its run. Forty-eight hours before the sale, 107,000 plus visitors were lined up prior to bid in the sale. At the lowest, Sonic Bidder saw 687 bidders on their auction. At the highest, 11,000 bidders were chasing their antique dreams on Sonic Bidder. Every state in America, including Hawaii, was represented by a bidder in the sale. Other countries that showed up to bid included the United Kingdom, Czech Republic, The Netherlands, Australia, Denmark, Canada, Germany, Aruba, Cyprus, Poland, and New Zealand among others.

The cars also drew impressive numbers. Alan Jackson’s former Stutz Boattail Speedster hammered for $198,000 in the auction. A 1929 Rolls Royce hammered for $385,000. The oldest car in the sale, a Gasmobile Runabout from the year (no joke) 1900, hammered for $55,000. However, the star of the afternoon was by far the 1931/1952 Bentley that hammered for the most out of any one of the models. $418,000 to be exact.

With an over 150,000 square foot showroom filled with 200 classic, exotic, and muscle cars, it’s one of a kind in the region and an impressive sight for any vehicle collector or car enthusiast.

The UNICEF expert for Latin America and the Caribbean also explained that «education must have a holistic approach: early childhood, physical and mental health, and education itself.»

Earnhardt Auto Centers: GMC Introducing the World’s 1st All Electric Supertruck, the GMC Hummer EV

MESA, Ariz., Oct. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The SuperDuty truck world is about to change with the introduction of the first all-electric Supertruck. The 2021 <a target="_blank"…

MESA, Ariz., Oct. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The SuperDuty truck world is about to change with the introduction of the first all-electric Supertruck. The 2021 GMC HUMMER EV lives up to its historic nameplate by claiming the highest power ratings in the class. The Earnhardt HUMMER EV Reservation Center expects to log its first reservations as soon as GMC gives the go-ahead on Oct. 20.

«As the world’s first all-electric Supertruck, the GMC HUMMER EV represents a huge leap in capability as well as a crowning achievement: zero emissions,» said Brad Gunlikson, General Manager of Earnhardt Buick GMC in Mesa.

«The future is here,» Kurt Stewart, General Manager of Earnhardt GMC Las Vegas, added. «There is no longer a question of when or where the first electric pickup truck will appear or when it will be capable of taking over from its gas-powered counterparts. No other pickup truck generates as much power as the new GMC HUMMER EV.»

HUMMER EV drivers will command 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 pound-feet of torque. That’s, at least, double the horsepower of its rivals. The remarkable rate of torque is 10,000 pound-feet higher than the closest diesel-powered Super Duty truck.

Off-roading capability is a hallmark of the GMC HUMMER EV. The ability to harness the high rate of torque at low speeds will help it with slow-speed crawls. All this combined with advanced technology such as Super Cruise and Crab Mode.

«The new GMC HUMMER EV will be the only pickup truck that can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3 seconds,» said Gunlikson.

«And there are many other reasons that drivers will find it exciting to be behind the wheel,» Stewart said. «This is also the first GMC truck with an Open Air Infinity Roof.»

Four modular roof panels will allow the new HUMMER EV owner to turn the electric pickup truck into an open-air vehicle. The overall style certainly reflects the vehicle’s Humvee roots, but GMC ingenuity has rendered it thoroughly contemporary, inside and out.

HUMMER EV enthusiasts from Phoenix, AZ, to Las Vegas, NV, can use the Earnhardt Hummer Reservation Center to stake their claim to this game-changing Supertruck. To learn more, contact Earnhardt Auto Centers at (888) 820-3377.

2020 Top TERROR-ific Haunted Attractions In The U.S

DALLAS, Oct. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — When you grow up in the haunt business, like the Queen of Haunts, you learn what makes a beating heart tick and draw upon fears and laughter. It’s the business of fright after all, but 2020 has the best haunted attractions honing their operations to reduce the chance of spreading anything but fear.

«Missing the Halloween season is not an option,» said <span…

«Missing the Halloween season is not an option,» said Amber Arnett-Bequeaith, also known as the Queen of Haunts. «So many people have anxiety and sadness or stress with the new challenges we face. Scaring is a proven science to help give some release to these pressures. We are keeping the scary arts alive during these frightful times.»

Beyond the entertainment value, safety has always been a measure of professional haunts. See the haunts’ safety measures on their respective websites. This year the Queen of Haunt reviewed attractions that made the most of haunting and safety to give haunt enthusiasts the top 13 TERRORific haunts in the U.S.

1. Beast Haunted House, Kansas City: I have a hand in this esteemed haunt, but it’s justified giving it the top spot as it holds its 30^th season. America Haunts named it the top haunt in 2019. The Beast’s theme digs into the medieval beast of man which haunts 2020.

2. Cutting Edge, Fort Worth: Imagine the horror in this real, 100-year-old meatpacking plant and present-day attraction that grinds out screams and laughs to be, indeed, one of the best haunted attractions anywhere!

3. Bates Motel, Philadelphia: They show no mercy by making their hayride a walking trail. It helps people distance, but afoot the grounds are even scarier! Plus, its haunt attractions go beyond the norm with axe throwing and a zombie laser hunt.

4. NETHERWORLD, Atlanta: Refined special effects, electrify your terror for an awe-struck experience. Their new «Festival of the Monsters» outside or their two distinct haunts inside will leave you with nightmares.

5. Edge of Hell, Kansas City: Come hell or high water, the haunt that has outlasted and outwitted the others is still among the best. This is the oldest haunted attraction in the nation, and full disclosure it’s where the Queen got her start.

6. Spookywoods, High Point: In the fresh air of the forests and shadows of beasts at night, you have a win-win in 2020. Outdoor scary fun with themed sets throughout the woods, zombie tag, zip lines, a maze within 60′ Pine trees.

7. Dent, Cincinnati: In these crazy days, it’s good that they have a school to haunt. There isn’t virtual learning at this school that pushes scary-good boundaries to create the best of memories.

8. Nightmare on 13th, Salt Lake City: Enter these castle doors to 36,000 feet of fright. Think mega chills and thrills. This haunt creates their professional costumes and masks, giving them an authentic scare that others can’t duplicate.

9. Headless Horseman, New York: When the going gets tough, this place innovates to offer something for everyone. In place of the hayride, they launched a haunted drive-thru experience. Those who choose to venture out their corn maze and haunted attractions are adapted even to scare people who have seen it all.

10. 13^th Gate, Baton Rouge: Where the line blurs between horror and reality, your mind races, and your heart rate accelerates. This place executes intense scares that leaves you breathless and ultimately laughing in delight.

11. Erebus, Pontiac, MI: Sinners after death are said to go to the darkness under the earth. Erebus conjures up unimaginable scares in this realm that defies explanation while creating excitement and energy that we especially crave in these times.

12. Thrillvania, Dallas: For those who dare to visit in these uncertain times, this attraction has three haunts on 50 acres, so you have room to scream, and the undead can get their vengeance on those souls looking for scary fun.

13. Spooky World, Litchfield, New Hampshire (near Boston): This horror scream park has so many acres swarming with unnatural beings and a 3D labyrinth of scare that they cover everything from haunts and hayrides to games.

About Queen of Haunts

Amber Arnett-Bequeaith, aka Queen of Haunts, is a mastermind behind some well-known haunt attractions and events. When she was just a pre-school princess, she slept in coffins of her family’s haunts and grew up in the business of fright. Her influence extends beyond her reign of the mega-houses in Kansas City’s West Bottoms, she’s an author and media contributor for the haunt industry, an advocate and cook of gluten-free culinary treats, and wickedly talented with themed decors.
