STEVE MANGANTE "IN PERSON!"

After checking with "Johnson" who was at Twin Rivers, I drove to Mohegan-Sun alone using my GPS! My goal was to see Steve Magnante, spokesman for Barrett-Jackson Auctions in person. The trip cross country was a little over 60 miles.I-395 back was ovcr 70.

Parking at Mohegan-Sun was prohibitive. Then I got smart and rode the shuttle to the famed Arena.  I persuaded Craig, Head of Auction Security, of my wish.. to see Steve M. in action. It worked! He escorted me up to the stage in front of tens of thousands auction goers.It was an experience I shall never forget.Nevere have I witnessed such an incredible display of people, cars and trucks.

My estate auctions were like "popcorn" compared to the biggest car auction in the world. AMAZING and to think "Stevie Wonder" is on the world stage makes me feel proud... very proud.

Steve Magnante is an Automotive Journalist. As a teen, his Bancroft School, Worcester, yearbook reveals, his model building prowess  of plastic cars. His creative imagination allowed his mind to wander.. something that is fresh in his persona today.

You can find books Steve has authored on Amazon to include:
  • 1001 Series of facts on Corvettes, Mustangs and others. Steve wrote features items for HOT ROD in 77 issues! In addition to HOT ROD, his writings have been features in CAR CRAFT, CHEVY HIGH PERFORMANCE, HIGH PERFORMANCE PONTIACS,ELAPSED TIMES AND HOT ROD DELUXE.

There's nobody else  with the vast reservoir of historical knowledge about cars and trucks of all eras than Steve.. STEVE MAGNANTE is Brilliant. He is soft spoken, educated and humble. Peter and Jean Magnante would be extremely proud of their son.

West Brookfield has a favorite son in Steve Magnante..Celebrity, Author, Spokesperson, model maker, and most importantly my student and friend.

Kudos to Steve Magnante  ...YOU DA MAN!

Sincerely,

BOB POTVIN
