Chosen by a panel of esteemed judges from the international collector car world, the “Best of Show”- winning 1932 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron CL is one of only six known to be in existence, according to owners Lorenzo and Susan Nannini of Colma, California. “This award is especially significant for us, as it follows a meticulous two-year restoration,” said Mr. Nannini.
“We are deeply honored that Hillsborough judges selected this magnificent Chrysler, given the stunning cars that were on display.”
Highlights of the show included a salute to historic Route 66, special displays honoring the 75th anniversary of Ferrari and the 60th anniversary of Shelby American.
