In just two years, Dealers Auto Auction of Northeast Tennessee’s Classic Car Auction has generated more than $50,000 for The Crumley House Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center. That total stands to grow with the event’s return for a third year on May 10-11 in Johnson City.
“Our business and our annual Classic Car Auction continue to grow throughout the Appalachian Highlands and beyond,” said Gary Montgomery, DAA East Tennessee General Manager. “The first two years of this event have witnessed us auction off some incredible vehicles and we look forward to building on that success.”
Dealers Auto Auction of East Tennessee has once again chosen The Crumley House Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center as the recipient of the proceeds from its Charity Auction Car. This year, a 2001 Chevrolet Z-28 Camaro SS rolls onto the auction floor with 100 percent of its final sale going to the local non-profit organization.

“Yes, it’s certainly big for us to be able to auction off the many vehicles we’ll have on hand, but we believe in our community and it’s equally important for us to have the opportunity to give back,” added Montgomery. “Once again we are proud to work with The Crumley House in this effort.”
The event, which is open to the public, begins with the Auction Preview Party on Friday, May 10 from 5-8 PM. With a combination of cars, live music, food and fun, the Preview Party has something for everyone. An array of the food trucks will serve up the eats and beverages, with Coaltown Revival providing the music. Additionally, all in attendance can browse the 100-plus classic cars set to go up for bids the following day.
Saturday, May 11 is Auction Sale Day with gates opening at 8 AM and the auction beginning at 10 AM. The Chevy Z-28 Camaro SS Charity Auction benefiting The Crumley House takes place at 2 PM and also features the raffle drawing for a 95th Anniversary Snap-On Toolbox. Raffle tickets are being sold now and proceeds from the raffle also will benefit The Crumley House. Admission is $10 and good for both days. Admission is free to dealers, individuals with a bidder badge as well as children 12 and under.
Guynn Edwards, Crumley House Executive Director, stated, “It’s an honor to once again be selected as the recipient of the proceeds from the auction. I know there are many enthusiasts and collectors of classic cars here in our region and I hope all come out not only to support The Crumley House, but to embrace the entire event and make it a successful one for our area and all involved.”
