Gooding Christie’s will be the official auction partner of Rétromobile, the classic car and automotive trade show, and will host a sale at the French event’s first foray into the US, in New York City on Nov. 19-22, 2026. It’s a multiyear contract, though organizers declined to quantify its value.
As part of the agreement, Gooding Christie’s will also hold the sole auction during the 50th anniversary of Rétromobile at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles on Jan. 28-Feb. 1, 2026. Rétromobile is among the most popular automotive events in Europe. This year more than 146,000 people attended to see gleaming classic Aston Martins, Alfa Romeos, Lancias and Lamborghinis spread across 800,000 square feet. There were 600 exhibitors selling automotive parts, memorabilia and the cars themselves.
