Didn't count the seconds, but mine is the 8th car to pass the camera, a black 1934 sedan with a single, center-mounted high speed driving light (in the best European tradition).

I did recognize some of the others; the first was owned by Charlie Wallace of Mass, a 1918 335 Twin Six touring I believe. Also spotted Angelo Petrelli's 1947 silver/blue Clipper Super, Ole Book's 53 green Caribbean, Walt Breithaupt's 1940 120 green convertible coupe, Jeff Guss' 37 Twelve convertible, and Kenn Sly's 1954 black Cavalier. I forget just now who owned the funeral vehicles but they were truly spectacular. Though guests could come any day to the hotel or other venues, only those registered for the event were allowed on the judging grounds and I'm guessing the video was made just before the entrance to same, on the grounds of the magnificent Crane estate (plumbing magnate), "Castle Hill" in Ipswich.
