Just a guy who loves cars and the people who enjoy them.
In addition to the exhibit about the re-birth of American Muscle (see yesterday’s blog entry), the Ault Park Concours d’Elegance also laid out a group of supercars to be enjoyed. This is something they do every year, referring to them as future classics. But these modern marvels, with their speed and elegance, are already a sight to behold.

One of my favorite sections at the annual Ault Park Concours d’Elegance is the one for European Collector cars. These classics from the continent are always amazing. While this year seemed to be led by Mercedes, there were still a number of great cars from other German makers as well as Italy and Great Britain. To see them, check out today’s blog: http://turnerbudds-carblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/european-collectors.html

Dodge only made 950 of the DU Convertible back in the mid-1930s with very few still on the road. In fact, the owner of this 1935 model has only ever seen one other ever advertised.

The 35th Ault Park Concours d’Elegance had a remarkable display of cars in celebration of Morris Garages, better known as MG. Beautiful examples of many of the top cars from this line’s history made for a wonderful history lesson on how this company went from selling cars to making them.
