Here are the rest of the great vintage cars that were on display at the recent Ault Park Concours. First up is a 1932 Packard 905 Coupe Roadster, one of only 583 of these twin-six cars to be built and is one of five to be known to still exist. It managed 160 horse power from a 445 cubic inch V-12 engine.
The next car is a 1927 Pierce-Arrow Model 36 Runabout. This best in class Concours winner runs on a 414 cubic inch dual head T-Head six cylinder engine that punches out 100 horse power.
Following that is another Pierce-Arrow. This one is a 1931 Model 43 7-Passenger Sedan. Slightly more than 2500 of these cars were built and only 47 survive. A 366 straight eight engine generated 125 horse power.
Only 400 1929 Willys Knight 66 B Plaidside Roadsters were built and today there are only 11 known survivors. Its 255 cubic inch sleeve valve six cylinder engine gave it 87 horse power.
Next is a 1932 Chrysler Imperial Model CH 4-Door Sedan. Just over 1000 of these cars were built to compete against Cadillac and Lincoln. The car got 125 horse power from its 385 cubic inch straight eight engine.
Another Auburn, this a 1929 8-120 Boat Tail Speedster, was also on display. Despite only 100 of these being manufactured, this is the car that changed Auburn's image from stodgy to sporty. With a 244 cubic inch Lycoming straight eight engine giving it 120 horse power, it drove sporty as well.
Lastly is a 1930 Stutz Model MB Supercharged Convertible Coupe. Only 10 supercharged versions of this car were ever built and each had a 322 cubic inch straight eight that pumped out 185 horse power.
