I cant even begin to imagine the cost of something like this, many of these cars are original and VERY expensive. Hemi cuda convertible, superbirds, gt500s, camaros, chevelles, gtos, you name it.
From Autoweek:
"The Russo and Steele Collector Automobile Auction remained closed on Saturday as work crews continued to asses damage and clean up from high winds that destroyed two tents at the auction site in Scottsdale, Ariz., on Thursday night.
In a message posted on the Russo and Steele Web site, CEO Drew Alcazar said he would meet with consignors of the cars at the auction on Saturday morning. He added that the auction would remain closed on Saturday but that Russo and Steele would work to hold auction sessions on Sunday and Monday.
Alcazar said the auction site would not reopen to the public until it was approved by Scottsdale city officials.
During the storm on Thursday night, an 800-foot long tent broke loose from its anchors and blew onto a nearby freeway. Metal poles from the tent hit and damaged cars, while open-top cars at the auction received water damage from the rain.

I don’t think it’s the tent companies fault. It’s like the Cowboys practice facility which was built to spec. Shit happens. It’s not like the tent just collapsed on it’s own. It was caused by wind. I’m sure there are things that the company itself is insured against.

My question is who covers the damage? Did the show/auction have to have insurance to cover any damage like this?
Im sure most of these guys have crazy insurance on their cars but that doesnt lessen the hurt any less with how rare/original none the less some of these cars are.
