The emphasis is on rare and unusual sports & racing cars including pre-war and certain post war cars through 1959. Participants at Lime Rock included the Stanguellini Formula Junior of Larry McKenna; Dudley Cunningham’s Lotus XI; Sandy Leith’s Bugatti T37; Aston Martin DB4 GT of Jack Boxstrom; Herb Wetanson’s Aston Martin DB4 GT and Allard J2-X; Mitch Eitel’s OSCA 750 Sport and the neat Panhard Dyna Junior of Robert Duell.
