Gooding & Company is moving its Pebble Beach auction up this summer, with the two-day sale scheduled for Friday, August 18, and Saturday, August 19.

The auction traditionally has been held on Saturday and Sunday, with the Sunday sale taking place during and after the annual Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Gooding has the only collector car auction staged on the Pebble Beach golf course property, at its Equestrian Center. Other auctions are held at various venues on the Monterey Peninsula.

A Gooding spokesman explained that the change is being done “to allow our clients to enjoy the full Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance event, as this prestigious celebration is what brings all of us enthusiasts together for Pebble Beach Automotive Week.”

Gooding & Company, which remains the “official auction house” of the concours, also announced that it would start its auction preview viewing on Wednesday, August 16.

With the change in scheduling, Gooding’s auction will be over Saturday evening, leaving Sunday totally open to the concours activities.
