Spyders – Exhilarating
Transport for Two
1967 SUNBEAM TIGER
The combination of the Sunbeam Alpine Roadster with a powerful
V8 Ford Motor made for an exciting package. This is one of the
last of only 633 cars built, carrying Chrysler badging, reflecting the
company’s British investment in early 1967.
CLASS 6
Transport for Two
1931 ALFA ROMEO 1750 ZAGATO
Combine very sporting Zagato two-seater bodywork, a
twin cam supercharged engine and light precise steering,
and it’s no surprise that the famous first owner
Charlie Martin kept this car for many years.
CLASS 6
Transport for Two
1953 ASTON MARTIN DB3
This DB3 is the only surviving example with original body
and motor. Driven mainly for the factory by Reg Parnell,
it numbers the Dutch Sports Car Grand Prix amongst
many other successful outings.
CLASS 6
Transport for Two
1932 FORD HOT ROD HIGHBOY
The epitome of the American hot rod. Built by the great
fabricator Doane Spencer in 1937 and continuously
updated until 1950. It combines real style, excellent
drivability and fabulous execution. This car is an icon.
CLASS 6
Transport for Two
1938 BUGATTI 57S
Only 35 Bugatti 57S survive. Originally graced with an
English Corsica body, it was later completely rebuilt by
Col. Symondson, a great Bugatti specialist, and rebodied
with its current attractive Spyder coachwork.
CLASS 6
Transport for Two
1963 MERCEDES 300 SL ROADSTER
The Roadster derivative of the famous Gullwing
with all of that car’s mechanical benefits,
but greatly improved rear suspension.
CLASS 6
Transport for Two
1954 PORSCHE SPYDER
This particular car was a factory entry at Le Mans
in 1954 and later was raced in the grueling
Carrera Panamericana.
CLASS 7
Great American Bodies –
U.S. Built Evocations of Automobile Coachwork
1930 DUESENBERG
This fabulous Murphy “Clearvision” is one of only four with
this body. It entered life with a bang – its original owner
was Walter Main of the General Explosives Company.
A real show stopper on its short Duesenberg chassis.
CLASS 7
1958 SCARAB
One of America’s greatest sports cars, the Scarab was built by
Trautmann and Barnes for Lance Reventlow. Chevrolet power,
sophisticated chassis and beautiful aluminum bodywork made
these cars extremely successful. Raced then by its current owner,
Augie Pabst, and still raced by him today 40 years later.
CLASS 7
1953 BOSLEY MK I G/T
Richard Bosley built this fabulous automobile to suit his
own needs and tastes. Finished to the highest standards
and with Chrysler Hemi powered performance to
match its very handsome bodywork.
CLASS 7
1940 DUESENBERG TOWN CAR
Quite probably the most original Duesenberg in the world. The
German painter Rudolph Bauer commissioned a body to his own
design by Rollson. The current owners are to be commended
for preserving it in its extraordinary original state.
CLASS 7
1929 ROLLS ROYCE PHANTOM I
YORK ROADSTER
Only five were built and this is one of only three remaining
by Brewster of Long Island. It appeareed at the1929 New York
Auto Show, it has had only four owners since new. Designed
by the famous J.S. Inskip, this is one of the best-balanced
bodies ever produced in America.
CLASS 7
1934 PACKARD LEBARON
DUAL COWL PHAETON
Recently built bodywork by master coachbuilder Fran Roxas
on the exemplary original 1934 chassis of this 12-cylinder
Packard. The line and execution are breathtaking and
deserving of a place among the great American bodies.
CLASS 8
Fine Early Motorcars – Pioneering
Designs for a New Form of Transport
1909 SIMPLEX 90 SPEED CAR
Built in New York City near Rockefeller Center,
this is one of the only three known
90 HP Simplexes.
CLASS 8

The legendary Bill Harrah owned this 1910 Ghost, with its
touring body by Alford and Adler, for many years. Bill’s legacy
is the National Automobile Museum in Reno, Nevada.
CLASS 8
1900 PANHARD ET LEVASSOR
The oldest car which we have had the pleasure of seeing at Rockefeller
Center. Originally owned by the Cupertino Winegrower Charles
Baldwin, it was purchased as a result of Panhard’s spectacular success
in the first great road race from Paris to Bordeaux in 1895.
CLASS 8
1916 LANCIA
Found by its current owner in 1973 in the basement of a synagogue
in Topanga Canyon, this inspiring old Lancia has been raced
regularly ever since. Notably, it was driven from Los Angeles to
this year’s Louis Vuitton Classic – not bad for an 85 year-old!
CLASS 8
1902 MORS TYPE Z RACER
The Mors marque came to prominence in the open road,
city-to-city races of late last century. This car led the
1902 Paris-to-Vienna Race averaging over 70 MPH on
dirt roads, eventually finishing 9th over the 615 mile course.
CLASS 8
1924 MILLER 122 SUPERCHARGED
This is the first supercharged Miller. In 1924 it won a 250-mile
race at Culver City at a staggering 126.9 MPH. From the
distinguished drawing board of Harry Miller, this is one
car that goes as well as it looks.
CLASS 9
Ultimate Muscle Cars –
No Guts, No Glory
1971 AMC JAVELIN TRANS-AM
This is one of the two factory team cars built in 1970. The cars
ran for three seasons driven by Donohue, Revson, Elford and
Folmer. They won the Championship in 1971 and 1972.
CLASS 9
No Guts, No Glory
1970 PLYMOUTH AAR CUDA RACE CAR
In 1970, the Big Three all entered factory teams of improved
production cars in the Trans-Am Series. Plymouth built three
cars, of which two remain. This one was driven by Dan Gurney
and Swede Savage and is still raced by its long-time owner.
CLASS 9
No Guts, No Glory
1971 PLYMOUTH HEMI CUDA
While enthusiasts are drawn to the racing muscle cars from the
Trans-Am Series, many are also inspired by the Mopar cars
powered by Chrysler’s mighty “Hemi” engines. This 426 c.u. is
an extremely rare variation in tor-red, one of only 108 built.
CLASS 9
No Guts, No Glory
1970 BUD MOORE FORD BOSS MUSTANG
The Mustangs modified and entered by Bud Moore were Ford’s
salvo in the Trans-Am war of 1970. They were very successful
and the legendary Parnelli Jones won the Championship in this
actual car. Fast, powerful and as you will hear … noisy!
CLASS 9
No Guts, No Glory
1968 CAMARO Z-28 TRANS-AM
The first of the Penske team Camaros, this car finished third
overall at the Sebring 12-Hours in 1968. Mark Donohue went on
to win 10 of 13 Trans-Am races that year – 8 in a row in this car.
CLASS 9
No Guts, No Glory
1969 CHEVROLET CAMARO ZL-1
Only two rally sport ZL-1s were built. The car cost $8,047,
of which $4,160 was for the all aluminum 585 HP engine option.
The car is still on its original MSO and has never been titled.

300 HP, 12 cylinders, 4.5 liters and one of only two Pinin Farina
