PATTERSON PUBLISHING, LLC
LAKELAND, FLORIDA

Patterson Publishing is a family-owned and -operated, full-service publishing company located in Lakeland, Florida. We specialize in publishing high-quality niche magazines that are tailored to our readers. We publish two magazines in-house as well as custom publish another. We would be happy to help with any of your publishing needs. This is a magazine published by Patterson Publishing. We are a smaller, family-style company full of enthusiasts. We pride ourselves on publishing a very high quality magazine in both paper and content, and focusing it narrowly on what you love – Classic Mustangs. We are 100% subscription based, so you will not find our magazine on any newsstands. By doing this we are able to keep the cost down for readers ($20 for 6 issues instead of $5.95/issue at stand) and make a higher quality product. Nobody sells more than Mecum. Nobody. The Mecum Auction Company is the world leader of collector car, vintage and antique motorcycle, and Road Art sales, hosting auctions throughout the United States. The company has been specializing in the sale of collector cars for 27 years, now offering more than 15,000 vehicles per year and averaging more than one auction each month. “We’ve come a long way from our first official auction at the Rockford Airport in 1988,” notes President Dana Mecum. “We’re really a family business that grew up and got big. Our goal has always been to give Mecum Auction attendees an amazing experience and unite them with an incredible car they will enjoy.” What started in 1988 with little more than a few helpers around the family dining room table has grown to more than 200-strong when on-site at an event today. The company maintains its close-knit family atmosphere with many team members who have been onboard since Mecum’s inception; even Dana’s wife Patti and their four sons all play integral roles in the business.
