NICOLA BULGARI ON HIS ALLENTOWN TOP TEN

1935 BUICK SPORT COUPE 96 S

I fell in love with it after seeing it in a sales brochure when I was nine years old. It took me years to find this one, believed to be the only survivor of 42 built.

1937 STUDEBAKER PICK-UP

Simply the most beautiful pick-up ever made.

1939 LINCOLN ZEPHYR V12 CONVERTIBLE

A very original car, one of only 20 known survivors. Finding it was difficult, then I had to wait three years until the owner decided to sell it to preserve its future.

1941 BUICK 8 SPECIAL SEDANETTE

Still totally orginal, with only 5558 miles covered since new.

1942 BUICK SPECIAL ESTATE WAGON MODEL 49

The car that started everything. Of 326 units built, only three are known to exist today.

1933 GRAHAM BLUE STREAK FOUR-DOOR SEDAN MODEL 64

Styled by Amos Northup, with the rear axle slotted through the chassis to make it very low. It looks like the model that in 1933 did a record-breaking drive across the US in 53 hours and 30 minutes.

1940 NASH 8 CONVERTIBLE

A very rare eight-cylinder car, which was an icon for the brand. Following a very difficult restoration it was first shown at Hershey in 2017. It is believed to be the only survivor.

1942 DE SOTO SEDAN

A beautiful design complete with the 1941 model-year trademark, the Airfoil hidden headlights. Few were built, very few are left; they’re forgotten by collectors.

1955 CHRYSLER 355 COUPE

Built as a ‘restomod’, prepared by the Rick Hendrick shop famous for its work on Nascar cars. Probably the funniest car to drive of anything in my collection.

1931 WILLYS KNIGHT

I bought it as soon as I saw it at Hershey 2016. It is the epitome of originality, totally preserved and with an as-new interior.
