CCCA At Keeneland

The Classic Car Club of America has strict standards for the cars they consider for inclusion in their organization. They were all made between 1925 and 1948, were generally expensive when new and had a limited number made. Of those at this year's Keeneland Concours d'Elegance was this 1938 Cadillac 6167 Convertible Coupe 60 Series. It sported a 346 cubic inch flathead V-8 that produced 130 horse power. Only 146 of these cars were made.

The Super Eight was the name give to Packards larger of their two eight cylinder luxury models. Both used the same 160 horse power straight eight engine as well as other mechanicals. This 1938 model was from the first year the model was available.

By 1929 Indianapolis based Stutz had already made a name for themselves as a manufacturer of high end, reliable, fast, sporty roadsters. This Blackhawk 2 Place Speedster was no exception. This example competed a frame-off restoration in 1913.

This 1933 Lincoln KA 513 Roadster was specially commissioned by Castrol Motor Oil as a gift to Sir Malcolm Campbell as a gift for using their product when he set the land speed record in 1932 and 1933. By the 1960s it was part of actor Fess Parker's personal collection.

Costing $2245 when new, this 1939 Cadillac Series 60 Convertible was designed by up and coming designer Bill Mitchell. This example is no stranger to Concours events, having won its class at the 2004 Keeneland event.

Here is a very rare, all original 1927 Pierce Arrow Club Brougham Series 80 2 Door. Even the wooden frame which was used to attach the aluminum skin is original. Only five of this model was ever made.

This is a 1935 Auburn Boattail Speedster. Due to the Great Depression, very few of these cars were ever produced but one did wind up in the Hollywood movie Desire starring Gary Cooper and Marlene Dietrich.
