Antiques At the Ault Park Concours

As with the past 38 years, this year's Ault Park Concours d'Elegance featured a number of amazingly beautiful automobiles. There were five stunning vehicles in the Antiques Class including a 1923 Auburn 6-43 Touring Sedan. This was the final year before E. L. Cord took over Auburn and this is the only know model from this year to exist.

 This 1907 Garford bodied Studebaker Model H Landaulet was brought down from the Crawford Auto and Aviation Museum in Cleveland (http://www.wrhs.org/research/crawford/). These are purported to be the original colors the car was painted.
 This 1911 Marmon Model 32 Speedster is the street version of the car that raced in the 1911 Indianapolis 500. Restored in 1997, it has a 308 cubic inch inline four engine.
 A 1912 Columbia Cavalier that sported a 410 cubic inch inline four engine was also on display. This is the most decorated car shown at Antique Automobile Club of America events with 17 national first place awards.
Part of the permanent collection at the Salty Dog Museum (http://www.saltydogmuseum.com/), this 1918 Ahrens-Fox Fire Engine Pumper is the only one the company built with a rotary gear front pumper.
