It's been called the most beautiful fiasco in the world. Cord was one of the first manufacturers to mass produce a front-wheel-drive car.
1961 Ferrari 400 Superamerica.
Enzo Ferrari used this car as his personal vehicle for about 12 months. This short-wheel-base 400 is in beautiful original shape.

1963 Apollo 3500GT.
Italian body by Intermeccanica, V8 power by Buick, built in Oakland, California... a true GT car with international blood.

1963 Buick Electra.
A rare original convertible, the Electra was the cheaper version of the Cadillac Eldorado

Jacques Harguindeguy won the 50th Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Best of Show with this masterpiece.

1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe and 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible.
Dueling vettes yearn for speed, and two lovely sisters, vintage 1964, spur them on.

1940 Ford V8.
These models were designed for traveling salesmen. The trunk served as a bed. With period styling and models.

1964.5 Ford Mustang Convertible and 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe.
The Beach Boys are hot, and a Mustang is the coolest way to cruise California's golden coast. With period styling and models.

Our models re-enact a fantastic Cinderella fairy tale, staged in the 60's, complete with go-go boots.

One of two built to compete in Le Mans; Juan Jover crashed it during practice, and Pegaso withdrew the other entry.

Irv Gordon has driven his car for more than two million miles. He now holds the Guinness record, but that doesn't stop him from driving on.

1953 Nash Healey Pininfarina.
1967 Jaguar XKE Convertible, AKA "Shaguar".

1953 Delahaye 235 coupe Chapron.
A 100% original car, as it was shown at the 1953 Paris Auto Show. It is the last Chapron coupe on chassis 235. 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner.
In honor to Plymouth, the brand being put to sleep by DaimlerChrysler, we test one of the first true muscle cars.
