More than 1,200 vintage and rare cars filled Lime Rock Park for Sunday in The Park presented by Hub International as Historic Festival 44 traded the sounds of vintage racing for one of the largest celebrations of automotive history ever held at The Park.

 

The Lime Rock Concours was once again judged by an esteemed panel of 40 automotive experts, including Guests of Honor Donald Osborne and David Hobbs, along with Lorenzo Ardizio, chief curator of the Museo Storico Alfa Romeo (Alfa Romeo Museum), who flew all the way from Milan, Italy, to be part of this weekend’s festivities.

 

The panel evaluated more than 190 cars, selecting 19 for Showcase Awards, 23 Best in Class honors and 33 Star of the Rock Awards.

 

At the top of the field, Ralph Marano’s 1934 Packard 1106 earned Best in Show d’Elegance, while Chuck Schoendorf’s 1952 Cunningham C-3 was named Best in Show Sport.

 

Another standout was the largest gathering of Abarths in the United States, including the 1966 Abarth 1300 OT “Periscopio,” which earned the Honored Guest Selection.

 

Representatives from HUB International, Autodromo, NBT Bank and The Paddock Classic Car Restoration also took part in the award ceremony, presenting special honors to standout cars and their owners.
