Leake Auction Company
Before car collecting was a business, before collector cars became a hobby, back when ‘old’ cars were considered junk – that is when the passion for the ‘old junkers’ took hold of Jim Leake, Sr. Finding these old cars and stockpiling them brought about one important stage in the evolution of collector cars – one of the first collector car auctions in the United States! In 1964 the Leake family conducted a 1-day auction in Muskogee, Oklahoma, which was considered such a smashing success, it set the stage for a museum and the annual Leake Auction Company collector car auction based in Tulsa, OK. The Antiques, Inc. Car Museum in Muskogee showcased the largest private collection of Rolls-Royces in the world.
Today Leake Auction Company conducts several collector car auctions a year.
