Day two of Motor Week with Vehicle Virgins. Parker takes us to the Tour d'Elegance, where the rain fails to dampen our spirits as we witness an array of automotive marvels. The Cadillac, with its staggering price tag of $340,000, commands attention, while the Lamborghini Miras in the pouring rain exude a breathtaking aura. Despite the inclement weather, enthusiasts bring out their priceless beauties, showcasing their unwavering passion for these machines.
Among the gems on display is a rare American car from the 50s called the Victus, a fiberglass wonder built on a Corvette chassis. Its classic Ferrari-like appearance is truly a sight to behold. A Bentley braves the rainy conditions, its roofless design adding an element of intrigue. And who would have thought someone would bring a Lincoln Continental limo to the rally? It's a bold move that deserves applause.
However, the true star of the event is the Delahaye, a masterpiece that could easily grace the cover of a Pebble Beach poster. Its stunning paintwork and exquisite shape leave us yearning for a return to the golden age of automotive design. The widebody Bentley's from the Gathering event also catch our eye, their aggressive stance and muscular presence making a lasting impression.
As we embark on the tour, we find ourselves riding in a 1967 Volkswagen bus, a nostalgic vehicle that exudes charm. Its fully patinaed exterior and surfboard on the roof transport us back to a bygone era. The interior is a testament to craftsmanship, with custom woodwork and comfortable seating. The bus may not be the fastest machine, but it offers a unique experience that money can't buy.
The event also features the 30 Under 30 category, showcasing the creativity and ingenuity of young car enthusiasts. One standout project is a Volkswagen bus with a modest 54 horsepower, but its charm and character make up for any lack of speed. The bus's steering wheel, reminiscent of a classic bus, adds to the overall experience. It may not corner like a sports car, but it handles well enough for those three-point turns.
At the Audrain Museum, the black Enzo steals the show, one of only a handful ever made. A Packard catches our eye with its towering presence and unique design. The Porsche 904 impresses with its clamshell opening, revealing a powerful engine. And let's not forget the Aston Martin DB4 and the Shelby GT 350, both oozing with style and performance.
As the event comes to a close, we are left in awe of the incredible machines that graced the grounds. The awards ceremony recognizes the best of the best, with the Delahaye and the 1938 Dage d8 120 taking top honors. The event may be over, but our excitement continues to build as we anticipate the upcoming reviews of the Audrain Collection's cars.
In conclusion, the Tour d'Elegance at Motor Week proves that rain or shine, true automotive enthusiasts will always come together to celebrate the timeless beauty and craftsmanship of these magnificent machines.
