FALL IS AN IMPORTANT SEASON FOR CARLISLE EVENTS, FOR IT WAS IN the fall of 1974 when the first such gathering of purveyors of automotive parts and memorabilia occurred on the Carlisle Fairgrounds. The south-central city in Pennsylvania has since become as linked to vintage automobiles as Hershey, just a short drive to the East, and like that storied autumn event, Fall Carlisle has been hosting a collector car auction for years at the Carlisle Expo Center.
The 2022 dates were September 29-30, and according to event organizers, the auction delivered a 455-vehicle catalog, 20 of which originated from co-founder Bill Miller’s collection. Not surprisingly, the usual suspects rose to the top of the sales results, led by a 1969.
