Sports Classics At Cincinnati

The Sports Classics Class at any concourse event, especially the Cincinnati Concours d'Elegance, is always one of my favorites. I've always been drawn to sports cars and relish seeing the best of the best. At this year's Cincinnati concours the class had some exceptional automobiles, including a 1955 Mercedes Benz 300 SL Gullwing, a 1958 Porsche 356A Roadster, a 1962 Porsche 356B Convertible, a 1955 Sunbeam Alpine, a 1955 Ford Thunderbird, a 1957 Isetta 300, a 1958 Isetta 600, a 1956 Porsche 356A Roadster, and a 1953 Chevrolet Corvette.
