BETTENDORF, IOWA (July 16, 2024) — Rob Wolfe of American Pickers and Jordan Richmond of Richmond Auctions have announced plans for the Second Annual “Bettendorf Americana,” a vintage car, antique show, and auction to be held August 1-3 in Bettendorf, Iowa.

Bettendorf Americana is one of the largest gatherings of the year of antique dealers and enthusiasts including more than 500 antique cars and more than 200 dealers of petroliana, automobilia, coin-op memorabilia, antique advertising signs, and general antiques of all kinds against the picturesque backdrop of the majestic Mississippi. Much more than an antique show, the gathering will feature fun for the whole family with a swap meet, games, food, and waterfront attractions steeped in Americana charm.

On Friday, August 2, Jordan Richmond of Richmond Auctions will host dinner followed by an auction of more than 250 items with a special focus on petroliana, automobilia, gas station memorabilia, soda memorabilia, antique signs and more.

The event, running August 1-3 at the Isle of Capri Casino, Bettendorf, Iowa, will be hosted by Rob Wolfe and sponsored by Jordan Richmond.
