Freije & Freije Auctioneers Expands Classic Car Division with Renowned Expert Ty Young

Freije & Freije Auctioneers, a premier auction company specializing in classic cars, automobilia, and collectibles, is thrilled to announce the addition of Ty Young to their team as a Classic Car Sales Specialist. Young brings over 20 years of experience in the classic car world, further strengthening Freije & Freije's position as a leader in the industry.

Unlocking the Passion and Expertise Behind Freije & Freije's Expansion

A Lifelong Dedication to the Classic Car Community

Ty Young's journey in the classic car world began in 2003 when he took a position as a salesman with the renowned Leake Collector Car Company. Over the next decade, Young's dedication and expertise propelled him to the role of Senior Sales Director at Leake's headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma. During this time, Young's involvement in the classic car community extended beyond his professional duties, as he served as the youngest member of the Route 66 Museum Board of Directors, where he played a pivotal role in planning classic car events such as the "Great Race."

Navigating the Evolving Auction Landscape

After Leake ceased operations after 50 years, Young pursued a new adventure, guiding outdoor enthusiasts as a guide with Rolling Bones Outfitters. However, the allure of the classic car auction world continued to beckon, and in 2021, Young answered the call when a former consignor sought his expertise to form Maple Brothers Auctions. As General Manager, Young successfully grew the startup from 150 units at its first auction to three annual auctions, each featuring 350 units by 2023.

Joining Forces with Freije & Freije Auctioneers

In 2024, Young faced a new challenge when his partner at Maple Bros. retired. Determined to continue his career in the auction industry, Young had been keeping a close eye on Freije & Freije Auctioneers. Through mutual connections in the industry, Young was introduced to the Freije team, leading to his new role as a Classic Car Sales Specialist with the renowned auction house.

Expanding Freije & Freije's Reach in the Classic Car Auction World

Young's addition to the Classic Car Division marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Freije & Freije Auctioneers. The company is set to host its first event in Dallas, Texas, on November 22nd and 23rd, 2024, at the Market Hall. This event will feature over 350 classic cars and 200 pieces of automobilia and classic collectible Americana, showcasing Freije & Freije's commitment to providing a diverse and exceptional auction experience.

Embracing the Future with Expertise and Passion

"We are thrilled to welcome Ty Young to our team. His expertise and passion for classic cars will be invaluable as we expand our presence in the auction industry," said TJ Freije, President of Freije & Freije Auctioneers and the 2024 World Automobile Auctioneer Champion. In addition to the Dallas event, Freije & Freije Auctioneers plans to serve Young's former consignors in the Oklahoma City and Tulsa markets in 2025, further solidifying their position as a leading force in the classic car auction world.
