Full classic cars as determined by the Classic Car Club of America are broken into two categories at the Cincinnati Concours d'Elegance. The first are the "early" cars, those made before 1936. This group was packed with spectacular automobiles including this 1929 Packard Dual Cowl Phaeton. It was clothed by the famed body builder Dietrich.
Next is one of four surviving 1933 Packard 1005 Victorias. This V12 was also outfitted by Dietrich.
The final automobile built by the Peerless Motor Car Company was this 1932 V 16 Touring Sedan. Body work was by Murphy.
Only 268 1923 Buick Model 98 Victoria Phaetons were built and this is one of only six known to still exist. This is a CCCA Premier winner and an Antique Automobile Club of America Grand National Senior winning car.
Amelia Earhart was one of the celebrities who drove a 1925 Kissel 8-75 Gold Bug Speedster. Only 150 cars from Kissel are known to still exist.
The son of founder Ettore Bugatti created this 1935 Type 57 Coupe. Only 710 of these cars were produced.
This 1931 Duesenberg Convertible Victoria had body work by Rollston. People such as Clark Gable and Gary Cooper thought these cars were "doosies" and owned them.
Dietrich did custom body work for this 1931 Packard Convertible Victoria. This class winner at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is one of only four known to still exist.
Known as a Light 8 for its straight eight cylinder engine, this 1932 Packard 900 Convertible Coupe is one of only 50 known to still exist.
Here is one of only two Murphy bodied Packards ever made and this is the only survivor. This is a 1932 Twin Six. Packard used a V12 engine but called it a "twin six."
This 1930 Cadillac Model 452 Coupe had a massive V16 engine. It had custom work from the Fleetwood Metal Body Company.
Spain brought us this 1928 Hispano Suiza T 49 Seven Passenger Touring. It had a complete frame off restoration in 2017.
