One mans meat is another mans poison my favorite marque is Avions Voisin. Read that somewhere. Gabriel Voisin was ask about bodies on his cars. He replied which ones? The ones I built or the ones the carpenter’s got to.

Didn't a similar Avions-Voisin sedan win a few years ago? That alone might disqualify it.

 

Thanks for the photos, it looks amazing this year.

Ed & A.J.,

Thanks for taking us along so we can at least vicariously enjoy a minute' amount of the excitement you must be experiencing. 

Steve

P.S.:  I've never seen the rear view of that Duesenberg J speedster by Figoni...that's pretty wild...French custom body style at its best!

Great photos. Thanks for sharing with members of the Forum. The Voison is an incredible expression of one, rather eccentric Frenchman’s vision. 
 

For my .02, the Talbot Lago is probably the most beautiful car ever built. I would gladly learn to drive a preselector gearbox should one ever come up for sale on my local Craigslist 😎

Dumb question here,  but I assume the green ribbon is a class award, gold is a bigger award and is red or blue a thing too? I still like Ed's notion of BOS to the Duesenberg Speedster but can't argue that the Voison is fabulous as is that Packard town car. What an interior in that car!

Green ribbon proves the car completed the Tour on Thursday.

My apologies. I do have a bit of a bug about this. However, I hope they (the owners or restoration specialists) have irrefutable proof that those dummy landau bars were originally mounted that way? Otherwise, they are on the wrong way. With fixed tops, the dummy bars don't actually hurt anything being either upside down, or on the wrong sides (or both?). And, the simple fact is that I HAVE seen a couple original era photos showing cars with them installed the "wrong" way. Sometimes people make mistakes, then as well as now. But for every era photo I have seen with dummy bars mounted incorrectly? I have probably seen a hundred photos and pictures in sales brochures showing them the "right" way! It wasn't a mistake made often back in their day. 

Today however, it is a very common mistake! People then knew the purpose of such irons, and they knew which way they were supposed to be. People today do not understand that. They carelessly put them on any old which way. Pictures are taken, and shared across the 'net'. Other people do not understand them, and just copy someone else's mistake instead of doing the proper research.

It could be possible the irons were installed wrong originally? If so, I would agree with installing them how they were way back when. But I would also like to see the original photos as evidence.

Unfortunately, there were two McFarlan automobiles with the dummy landau irons on the wrong way. This picture with the black on black doesn't show as well. However, I zoomed in close and made sure. Yes they are on wrong.

 

So the Owen Magnetic wasn't the only car there with landau bars on wrong. However, one can argue that the Owen Magnetic is a more egregious error since they are live irons, meaning the top folds down, and the irons extend in the wrong direction.

And I did notice the Owen Magnetic's bars before I read the mention of it by West Peterson.

 

Maybe I need to do something about this landau bars OCD thing?

Ed called the winner?  Great car.  Winning would have been a long shot, but surprised none of the Lincolns made the final contingent.

 

Was the Graber bodied Packard the same one that surfaced in  unrestored condition around 10 or 12 years back?

I called the winner Thursday……it was an easy choice. Over the last few years I have gotten to know the owner. A true gentleman, and a nice guy.

Ed,  any ribbon on Bob J.’s Pierce?


 

Pebble works different…….three cars are called up, then the placement is announced. No call up, no trophy.

I know Mr. Lee Anderson. Worked on a couple of his boats in his collection. He is a real gentleman.

It looks like you found a great place to rest after a long day. Your just missing your favorite CC drink. 
I think everyone enjoyed your not having a car there this year as we got to see a lot more great pictures from the two of you and a few others. Thank you for taking us along it was a fun trip.

Lee Anderson has a home on Gull Lake Mn. The boat house is unreal. He had what seemed the be a closed modern car dealership. Saw three maybe four of your beloved Duesenbergs sitting around there. You must know him because he has a home/compound in Naples. West Point graduate and philanthropist.

Fantastic show as always, and always great to hang with Edinmass and alsancle.   With apologies for repeating some of the great uploads they posted, here are some of my favorites.
