Carlsile Auctions
CARLISLE, PA – One of the best parts of a Carlisle Auctions event is that, at least once per offering, a sale takes place to benefit charity. For those attending the Lakeland Winter Collector Car Auction, Saturday, February 8, will once again highlight the generosity of the collector car community.
The auction spans two days, February 7-8, at the SUN ‘n FUN Expo Campus in Lakeland, but the charity portion of the event takes place just after 10:30 AM on the 8th. At that time, Carlisle Auctions will yield the floor to Steve Muschlitz and Wheels from the Heart. Steve has secured a quartet of lots that will run consecutively, with 100% of the sales and any additional donations benefiting Wheels from the Heart. These lots include a pair of 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500s, a 1946 Ford Sedan, and a 2007 Cadillac DTS.
Wheels from the Heart is a Delray Beach, Florida-based organization with a mission to provide reliable vehicles to single mothers with children, helping them drive toward a better life. While the name is a play on words, the impact is real. Owning a dependable car improves nearly every aspect of life, from grocery shopping and commuting to work to attending social activities, school drop-offs, and more. Since being nominated in 2016 for the Men with Caring Hearts Award, Steve and his team have donated nearly 200 cars in the past 10 years to moms in need.
“I’m excited to once again work with Carlisle Auctions at their upcoming event in Lakeland,” said Muschlitz. “They put on a great event, and their bidder and buyer base has always been generous when we offer a lot for charity. Of course, these sales wouldn’t be possible without the gracious donations from their previous owners. Together, we can all change the lives of those in need.”
Images and details of each charity consignment are available at CarlisleAuctions.com. Each car will be sold at no reserve, meaning they will sell. Better yet, they’ll be available for preview by hopeful bidders starting Friday, February 7, near the main auction arena. Muschlitz will also be at the venue to further promote the mission of Wheels from the Heart. Donations will be accepted throughout the auction.

Carlisle Auctions offers three great ways to bid: in person, by phone, or online. Complete event details are available online or by calling Carlisle Auctions at 717-960-6400.
