Description & Details
A Legacy on Four Wheels: The JB Hodgdon Estate Classic Car Auction
Mayo Auction & Realty is honored to present one of the most significant private collections to come to market—more than 80 vintage automobiles from the estate of John Brewster “JB” Hodgdon, longtime President and Chairman of the iconic Hodgdon Powder Company. Admired nationwide in the shooting sports community, JB was a charismatic leader, a visionary businessman, and the friendly face of a brand known for innovation, integrity, and tradition. His life’s work helped shape Hodgdon Powder into one of the most respected names in the industry, earning him induction into the NSSF Hall of Fame and the NRA’s Golden Bullseye Pioneer Award.
Beyond his professional legacy, JB was a lifelong classic car enthusiast whose passion for craftsmanship and history drove him to curate an extraordinary collection spanning the 1920s through the 1950s. From rare woodies and elegant convertibles to iconic American marques—including Ford, Cadillac, Chrysler, Lincoln, Kaiser, Mercury, and more—each vehicle reflects his eye for timeless design and his love of the hunt. This collection captures the golden age of American automobiles and offers collectors a rare opportunity to acquire well-preserved examples from a man who valued authenticity, storytelling, and the joy of discovery.
Whether you're a serious collector, a restoration specialist, or someone who admired JB’s impact on the shooting sports industry, this auction invites you to help carry forward the legacy of a true American original by becoming the next steward of these remarkable automobiles.
JB’s collection represents a lifetime of passion, exploration, and appreciation for America’s automotive heritage. Register now and bid to win in this historic auction. See the full list of vehicles.
