About Rick Cole

Rick Cole pioneered the sports and racing car auction format in Monterey nearly three decades ago. As a result, five powerful auction companies now hold annual events during Monterey Car Week. In 2014 Rick returned to Monterey in great style with a highly-creative auction allowing bidders the freedom to enjoy dining, golf, shopping, car events, and even other auctions, while bidding on his vehicles from their hand-held device.  Rick has identified a way for people to engage in his auction without the stress of rushing to designated locations and remaining for hours to bid on specific vehicles. Rick has donated $1 Million to Kinship Center since 1985.
