Very Nice. Even the hubcap centers! What is the building in the background?

Hi Tom yes the hubcaps were a nightmare to get right. I realized that these must be the toughest hubcaps to paint amongst all the American brands. The building in the background is the Rambagh Palace now a luxury hotel where the Cartier travel in style concours de elegance was held.

Hi Steve the restoration on the car was appreciated by all the judges however I was the youngest car in the prewar American group. The winner in my group was a pebble beach competitor “ Stutz” second place was 1918 packard and third a Garderner convertible coupe. The chief judge was Sandra button a pebble beach judge.
