Ohio is one of the biggest car enthusiast states in America. Tons of national events —including the Barrett-Jackson 2026 Columbus Auction — are hosted in Ohio. In fact, that entire part of the country, from Michigan to Ohio to Pennsylvania, has an active and passionate automotive culture.

So, we expected we would enjoy Barrett-Jackson’s inaugural Columbus event. We were right. Given the images above and below, we think you will like what you see. If you’re in the area, you can find The ClassicCars.com Journal at the Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds covering all the auction action.
