Best of Show honors at the 12th annual Keeneland Concours d’Elegance were won by a 1937 Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante presented by the Patterson Collection of Louisville. The car also was named the Children’s Choice Award winner at the Lexington, Kentucky, event.
More than 130 historic cars were on display, including two classes of Maseratis, the featured marque, which celebrated its centennial in 2014. Other cars on display ranged from 1908 Simplex Speedcar to a 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, with classic cars, European super cars and American performance cars all represented.
“Each year the Keeneland Concours attracts some of the top collector cars in the country,” said Tom Jones, co-chair of the Concours, “and we are so appreciative of their owners’ willingness to share them with us, and another strong crowd shows that Central Kentucky is full of automotive buffs who love to spend the day on the beautiful grounds at Keeneland.”
The Judges’ Choice Award was presented to a 1935 Pierce Arrow Model 1245 Rumbleseat Convertible Coupe, with a body by Brunn, presented by Evergreen Historic Automobiles. A 1970 Maserati Ghibli Spyder won the Junior Judges Award. Chrysler will be the featured marque for next year’s concours, scheduled for July 15-17, 2016.
