FROM THE EDITOR

The Patriot All-America Invitational Opening Ceremony will be December 28, 9:20 a.m., at the Wigwam.

Following the event, the bags are auctioned, with proceeds going to the families of the fallen

H

appy New Year!

January is made for fun in the Valley. For this issue, we wanted to highlight some of the more

prominent events—think cars and golf—as well as some lesser known.

When I was growing up, my dad bought a brand-new pink ’57 Chevy. Who knew the car would become the quintessential American car of the ’50s? Since then, I’ve loved looking at beautiful automobiles, and spending an afternoon at one of the Valley’s January car shows is, for me, nostalgic. With eight participants this year, Arizona Auction Week (January 10–19) is the biggest collector car event in the nation. Jimmy Magahern shares what you can expect to find at each of the eight (“Arizona Car Week,” p. 60).

In the ’60s, I was allowed to join my parents, aunts and uncles on their annual trip to the Indy 500.

We ate fried chicken in the grandstand, walked the pits, were thrilled to hear Jim Nabors sing “Back Home Again in Indiana” and loved the roar of the cars—and crowd—as the pace car dropped off and the starter waved the green flag. The racing experience comes to life as Phoenix Art Museum’s Legends of Speed exhibition (ending March 15) showcases 22 legendary cars, driven in the world’s most famous racing events. Among them is the car driven by A.J. Foyt in 1961 for the first of his four victories in Indianapolis. I was there.

This season, golf lovers can start and end the month watching the world’s best players. Of course, you know the Waste Management Phoenix Open (January 27 through February 2) is the best-attended golf tournament in the world. Lesser known, on the other side of the Valley at the Wigwam Resort, the Patriot All-America Invitational (December 28 through December 31) welcomes 84 of the “best of the best” collegiate players from the U.S. and around the world. Theirs are the names you will be seeing atop the leaderboards of the future (“Putting for Platoons,” p. 54). Attending is free, but you might want to purchase a one-day or three-day all access Maverick VIP ticket. The West Valley Mavericks raise money to support West Valley charities.

AMBIENTE N

orth America’s first “landscape hotel,” Ambiente, is underway with sitework and construction amid the red rocks of Sedona. It offers a new way for travelers to embrace sustainable tourism in one of the rarest and most beautiful places in

America. The hotel is on track to open in December 2020.

Ambiente features 40 cube-shaped guest atriums elevated above the ground by steel piers and encased in bronze glass to give the appearance that the structures are floating. The hotel is in line with the philosophy and design principles similar to the handful of landscape hotels that exist around the world. All are built with respect for the environment, focusing on sustainable methods and organic modern architecture that complements the surrounding topography.

The hotel’s architect, ASUL Architects, is working closely with the landscape architects of Krizan Associates, who are focused on preserving the existing heavily vegetated forest with minimal impact to the land. The plan is to save every native tree possible on the property. Krizan’s team has found a way to reactivate the site’s ancient waterways to create a natural eco-system with continuously running water throughout the property to complement the authentic look of the terrain.

The atriums’ sleek contemporary design will embody minimalism and luxurious accommodations. Fifteen atriums were designed with private rooftop decks, allowing guests to ascend a staircase to their roof, which features a daybed, a seating area, a small gas firepit and the ideal setting to take advantage of Sedona’s rare Dark Sky designation.

DISCOVERY WILD RISING

D

esert Botanical Garden’s newest exhibition, Wild Rising

by Cracking Art, traveled straight from Milan with more than 1,000 animal sculptures made from colorful and recyclable plastic. The vibrant creatures prove that plastic does not have to end up in landfills but can be reinvented into something eyecatching and thought-provoking.

The vibrant art forms are the creations of Cracking Art, a collective of artists who specialize in plastic as an artistic medium with the intention of radically changing the history of art through a strong social and environmental commitment. The creatures featured in Wild Rising not only capture the magnificence of nature but also address global and local sustainability and conservation issues, including climate change, plastic in the oceans and the importance of recycling.

With 12 installations, visitors to the Garden will see 20 penguins posing among the cactus and 40 majestic grey wolves guarding the Sybil B. Harrington Cactus and Succulent Gardens. Wild Rising opened in October and continues through May 10. It is included in the cost of general admission and membership to the Garden.

Putting for Platoons The Patriot All-America Invitational pairs top college golfers with fallen military heroes in an unusual annual fundraiser.

Somehow, it all works Text by JIMMY MAGAHERN â?– Photos by MICHAEL JORDAN PHOTOGRAPHY

O

n paper, it sounds like an odd marriage: an invitational golf tournament featuring the best men’s collegiate players coupled with a tribute to fallen and wounded military service men and women. Golfers representing every National Collegiate Athletic Association division, from schools all over the country and even the world, gather on a 54-hole championship course and surrender their golf bags to tote around new ones bearing the name and service branch of a fallen soldier.

Granted, golfers and soldiers have a few things in common: Both encounter their share of sand-filled bunkers, and each carries around an arsenal of iron. But as a theme, the combination of the two in the Patriot All-America Invitational, a one-of-a-kind annual fundraiser now in its ninth year at the Wigwam Resort in Litchfield Park, can smack more of an overstuffed turducken than a go-great-together chocolate and peanut butter cup. Just listen to Brigadier General Scott Pleus, 56th Fighter Wing commander JANUARY 2020 / 55

at Luke Air Force Base, try to make sense of the bonus prize for all the young golfers—a trip to Luke to meet the fighter pilots and crew.

“It’s an opportunity for them to learn a little bit about the sacrifices men and women in uniform make each and every day,” Pleus says in the tournament organizers’ promotional video, “which gives them the ability to go and play golf.”

Even Tom O’Malley, chief operating officer of JDM Partners, which has owned the Wigwam since 2008, initially had his doubts when organizers approached him with the concept for the holiday tournament.

“How do you get these top players while they’re in college and eyeing a pro career, and humble them into acknowledging that there are people out there fighting for their right to go out and make millions playing golf?” he asks. “We take their golf bags away—which are personal to them, they know where the pockets are, they’ve got their college team’s name on them—and we give each guy an identical red, white and blue golf bag embroidered 56 / THE RED BOOK MAGAZINE

ARIZONA AUCTION WEEK Text by JIMMY MAGAHERN

The nation’s biggest week of collector car auctions is on. Boomers love it—now auction owners are wooing the next generation

JANUARY 2020 / 61

PHOTO COURTESY BARRETT-JACKSON

At

Barrett-Jackson’s lifestyle event creates a fun experience for all generations

74, Gary Bennett has spent most of his life as

an avid car collector, beginning in 1961, when he started driving his first car, a 1954 Ford, which he soon traded up for a new 1964 Corvette Stingray roadster. In 1965, as a newly married University of Oklahoma student with one baby and another on the way, Bennett upgraded only to the Stingray coupe, becoming one of the roughly 5,000 drivers to buy the first and last in the line outfitted with a 365 horsepower L76 engine.

Today, Bennett sees fewer young people prioritizing the hot wheels his generation craved.

Turned off by the rising costs of car ownership and armed with ride-hailing alternatives like Uber and Lyft, only half of millennials are even bothering to get their driver’s licenses by age 18. In a noteworthy 2014 Forbes survey, 40 percent of millennials, those born roughly between 1981 and 1996, voted that losing their smartphone would pose a bigger hardship than losing their automobile.

And fewer still are interested in collecting cars—or at least the American muscle cars favored

by Bennett’s generation. “That’s just the reality,” Bennett says. “It’s a new world. But at the same time, I think the key to winning this generation over is introducing them to car collecting and getting them exposed to what we’re doing.”

With that new direction in mind, we take a fresh look at the record-breaking eight participants in this year’s Arizona Car Week, taking place January 10–19, making it the biggest collector car event in the nation—and world. Classic car auctions remain havens for baby boomers, but how will each company woo the next generation of car collectors without alienating its still-strong boomer base?

BARRETT-JACKSON Jan. 11–19, Westworld, Scottsdale

Y

ou need only look as far as Barrett-Jackson’s Facebook page to see how the collector car industry leader is attempting to attract the younger demographic.

“Which one of Paul Walker’s cars would you want to

race Vin Diesel in?” reads a post touting the “star cars” of the 2020 Scottsdale auction: 21 collectible vehicles from the personal collection of the late actor Paul Walker, best known as the star of The Fast and the Furious movie franchise. Highlighting the Walker collection are seven BMW M3s, all made between 1988 and 1995, and another nine cars and motorcycles all manufactured in this millennium.

“The definition of what’s considered a ‘classic car’ is changing,” says Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “Now we’re seeing a lot of cars from the ’80s, ’90s and 2000s. That is where car collecting is expanding, so if you’re going to bring in millennials and younger people, those are the cars they can really relate to.”

Jackson, who famously had a giant turntable installed in his 22-car garage to display his own $1 million Bugatti, bristles at the notion of seeing his beloved muscle cars replaced by Cutlass Supremes, Monte Carlos and Datsun 260Zs. But he says he’s adjusted before.

“We had to make this choice years ago when we stopped selling all the cars of the greatest generation and started selling the muscle cars,” he says. “Now we’ve got to focus on what the next generations are buying—European sports cars, a lot of SUVs, some modified Broncos.”

The overhaul includes tweaking Barrett-Jackson’s inimitable lifestyle sideshow by adding a video gaming section for younger attendees.

“We’re still trying to make it about the experience, but for multiple generations,” Jackson says, “not just boomers.”

he higher-end market is the least affected by demographic trends. As with fine art or diamonds, there will always be buyers for a fine 1934 Bentley drophead coupe or ’64 Porsche 904. What’s become hard is finding sellers of top-of-the-market cars as recent changes in the

tax code have de-incentivized collectibles flipping, causing top collectors to hold off selling their best cars. That’s what makes the cars offered by the higher-end auction houses like Bonhams, RM Sotheby’s and Gooding & Company so prized.

“There are a lot of antique cars in those collections—lots of Duesenbergs and Bugattis,” says Bob Golfen, a former automotive writer for the Arizona Republic who now covers the collector car market for ClassicCars.com. “Those are the three auctions I would say draw the richest bidders, the high rollers.” But Golfen cautions sellers from setting their minimum bid prices too high.

“Car values have sunk slightly, and people have not adjusted their reserve prices to the new reality. So a lot of cars are going unsold. That’s what happened at Monterey Car Week,” he says, referring to the August event in Northern California considered the second-largest collector scene, after Arizona’s. “So people are waiting with bated breath to see what happens in Arizona this year.”

The auction company will be offering its own selection of post-’80s Italian and American classics—including Carroll Shelby’s personal 2007 GT500 and a powerful 1985 Lamborghini Countach coupe, along with a few muscle car standbys, like a bright red 1970 Plymouth Barracuda stocked with the original 426 Hemi.

own a notch in average bidding prices, Golfen says, are the two auctions located the farthest from North Scottsdale. The addition of MAG Auctions in Peoria, formerly Silver Auctions, which for a time operated out

of Fort McDowell, is the reason Scottsdale Car Week is now more accurately called Arizona Car Week. “Silver was always sort of on the low end of the auctions,” Golfen says, “but it was always fun, and there were always a lot of good cars for regular folks to go and buy.”

Ditto for Worldwide, which holds its auction near Scottsdale Road and McDowell. “They always have a wide, wide range of cars,” Golfen says.

Last year Worldwide featured a lineup of pre-WWII cars, like the 1925 Bugatti Type 35A Grand Prix. But they also offered some more affordable fare. “There’s plenty of fun stuff that you can get for decent prices at these auctions,” Golfen says, “Italian or British sports cars, MGs, Triumphs, Alpha Romeos and American cars from the ’50s and ’60s.”

LEGENDS OF SPEED At first, it can be a little disorienting to see the 22 race cars featured in Phoenix Art Museum’s new exhibit, Legends of Speed, simply sitting still.

After all, these are cars that have been driven at blurring speed by some of the most legendary drivers—Mario Andretti, A.J. Foyt, Stirling Moss, Dan Gurney and others—in the world’s most famous racing events, be it the Indianapolis 500 or the Belgian Grand Prix or Le Mans.

NO END IN SIGHT Like Jackson and Bennett, Golfen sees millennials eventually killing the American muscle car. But he doesn’t foresee an end to car collecting.

“What people consider a classic car or a collector car is usually something 25 years or older,” he says. “Millennials, who are now becoming established financially, still want cars that remind them of their youth, but to them that may be a Toyota or Subaru from the ’80s.

“The hot rods of this generation are the import tuners—the “Fast and Furious” cars—which is why the Japanese cars, which were totally dismissed by the collector, are now considered bona fide collector cars,” Golfen adds. “Times change, even in the collector car game.” ❖

Emerson helped persuade top-tier private collectors (including former Walmart chairman Rob Walton and local developer/philanthropist Bill Pope) to lend the Museum their prized autos for the long run, which opened November 3, 2019, and extends through March 15, 2020.

“You’re never going to see all these together again,” Emerson told press at a kick-off preview.

half months again, I can assure you.”

Behind the showcase—the Museum’s second foray into automotive design, following 2007’s Curves of Steel exhibit that drew more than 60,000 visitors—is a clear agenda: The Museum hopes to attract more men to its membership ranks.

With nearly two dozen racing Mercedes, Jaguars, Lancias, Maseratis, Ferraris, Porsches and Lotuses arranged in the most artfully lit and spacious man cave imaginable, Legends of Speed is off to a great rolling start.

THIS IS ‘ME’

CRISTIE KERR LPGA golfer, wife, mom and vintner

Text by MICHELLE JACOBY • Photo by ELLEN BARNES

HOMETOWN Miami, Florida, but I’ve lived in Scottsdale since 2005.

Playing golf, I’ve traveled all over the world, but I really fell in love with Arizona, which is why we’ve made it our full-time home.

INSPIRATION Beauty and nature. I think it’s one of the reasons I love Scottsdale so much. There’s a lot of beauty here.

FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MEMORY As a family, we always did things together—like going to the movies and, of course, to the golf course.

Both my parents were athletes, and I started tagging along with them playing golf when I was 7. As I got older, it was something I looked forward to doing. People used to think my parents were pushing me, but I was pushing myself.

FUN IN THE VALLEY Definitely hiking, especially Pinnacle Peak.

I also love going to Cave Creek and having coffee at the Roastery of Cave Creek, and having dinner at a great restaurant like Tarbell’s.

There’s so much to see and do here—you can’t go wrong.

FAVORITE FOOD Since my husband and I have two little ones (six- and one-year olds), we enjoy cooking at home. He usually mans the grill, and I do all the sides and salads. I especially love making pasta and risotto.

I also love wine—a lot. In fact, in the early 2000s, I worked with Suzanne Pride Bryan from Pride Mountain Vineyards in Napa Valley to make a wine that would raise money for breast cancer research.

Since then, I started Kerr Cellars and am a Level 1 sommelier, working toward my certification.

LAST READ I’ve really only been reading wine study books for my certification. I read a lot of Wine Spectator and things online. I like reading for information.

FAVORITE MUSIC I’m a Libra so it’s kind of hard to get a straight answer out of me. But for music, I like everything from hard rock to classical, alternative to pop, rap to country.

FAVORITE MOVIE I love inspirational movies like Field of Dreams.

I also love sappy romances.

MOST DAYS I’M WEARING If I’m not playing golf, I’m wearing jeans, a T-shirt and OluKai sandals.

INDISPENSABLE My family, food and wine, and makeup.

I absolutely love makeup. ❖ 72 / THE RED BOOK MAGAZINE
