Some wonderful cars, thanks so much for posting the photos. Wishing I could have been there. If you took note, was the Delage the Sam & Emily Mann car?

Thanks for posting the picx. Three of the GM Firebird gas turbine cars... wow! AND... what looks like (in the background of one photo) a black 1958 Buick Limited convertible...wow again! I had one, black with factory air, many many years ago. Always wondered what happened to it. Wonder if the one in the photo is my old one. These are so incredibly rare.

Thanks again.

Yes. He had four cars there. Duesenberg, Chrysler, and two Delages.

Thanks for posting these, Paul. What a marvelous group of coach-built Classics they gathered this year. Graber did a masterful job when they re-bodied that Duesenberg J. If Graber ever built an unattractive body, I've yet to see it. That Delage Aero Coupe by Pourtout is wild!

Rollston-bodied Packards in types available in the factory catalogue suggest there was still a small cadre of loyal customers for that coachbuilder. Restorers discussing the craftsmanship displayed by various coachbuilder on an AACA Forum place Rollston very high, along with Brewster and Brunn among the best.

Proud 1953 Clipper Deluxe owner. Thinking about my next Packard, want a Clipper Deluxe Eight, manual shift with overdrive.

Found a few pics of the '59 Buick. Didn't get a good shot of the Chrysler but did get pics of the other 4 cars that West mentioned plus videos of them driving around to the recognition area in front of the judges. The Delahaye had a great sound!

The blue '58 Pontiac Parisienne blew me away, just incredible. '59 88 was also a looker. All the car were. What a day!

I didn't get a pic of what I think was the 1960 CERV single seater that Mark Reuss fired up and drove to the Recognition area to be called out for his receiving the 2018 Automotive Enthusiast of the Year. Mark is GM's Executive VP in charge of Product Development and other areas. The car was LOUD!!! So cool.
