WAUTOMA, Wis. — Yoder Auctions held its 2023 Spring Auction at its Wautoma, Wis., headquarters on May 5-6. The purpose-built facility sits on Highway 22 west of Wautoma. Getting there was slightly more difficult due to construction on 22. That, combined with cold, wet May weather, could have put a lid on the bidding, but as it turned out, it did not.
Wayne Yoder and his hardworking crew seem to have focused on upping the quality of cars at this event. Several collections contributed cars. In addition, the auction company paid attention to recent trends by signing up many hot rods, pickup trucks, exotics and Corvettes for this sale.
There seemed to be more No. 1 and No. 2 condition vehicles than we usually see at Yoder sales and fewer “used car” types. There also seemed to be a wider and nicer selection of bicycles, automobilia and petroliana items to get the sale going on Friday and open it up on Saturday, before the car, truck and motorcycle sales started at noon.
Yoder’s national advertising in hobby publications is possibly bringing the company more buyers and sellers from states other than Wisconsin. Many customers appreciate the steps
