good video, annoying narrator, terrific variety of museum pieces at a Japanese Concours

Sure would be cool to see this. I bet Amelia is about tied for coolest Concours in the USA with Pebble. The Amelia Concours is returning to The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, March 5–8, 2026. Saturday has RADwood

raced extensively in the Western United States, 1st owned by Jack Douglas, who redressed the exterior in his eye-catching livery of yellow with red and black pinstriping, took it to the Pebble Beach Road Races in 1956, but failed to compete after a wild pre-race spin-out. 

Second owner Ray Scher raced it at Laguna Seca in 1958 and 1959 and sold it in 1960 to Tom Groskritz, who preserved the car for 61 years until 2021, when the current owner purchased it 

1965 Ford F-100 found on a ranch and restored

There was nothing all that special about the F-100 when it was sold to its original owner, a ranch hand in Winslow, Ariz., but Jim and Beth Burchill bought it from him 49 years later and took it home to join their collection in Dublin, Ont. It has a 352-cubic-inch V8 engine, good for 208 horsepower, and it’s now been restored to better-than-new condition.

“It had 94,000 miles on it and the paint was baked right off, but everything was original – the owner hadn’t replaced anything,” says Jim Burchill. “We took it totally apart, and every nut, bolt, washer, rivet is now in the exact same hole I took it out of. I marked them and wire-tied them before I sent them to the refinishers. It’s to keep it original, trying to preserve history.

“I’m going to lose points here because it’s basically over-restored. The paint was never as good underneath that truck when it came from the factory as it is now. They all had over-spray and undercoating splattered where it shouldn’t be. Authenticity is one thing, but why do that and have those spots rust in four or five years? I said I’d show it for a few years and then drive it but I’ve now got to the point where I don’t have the heart to do that to the truck. It doesn’t deserve to be ill-treated by driving it on our (rural Ontario) roads.”

Did you know a replica of the Monopoly game's car was built for an ATT commercial a dozen years ago? When filming was done the car was given to the ad agency rep, who has recently donated to the Lane Museum

In 1937, the first cast-zinc race car token was added to the game. Unsurprisingly, the single-seat race car has seen several variations over time, yet the iconic form resembles that of a 1930’s Midget race car.

With a small, lightweight, open-wheeled body with long external headers, rounded hoods, and capped with vertical-slat grilles- the Monopoly car game piece captures the Midget racer characteristics in its tiny token form.

The oversized Monopoly car was made by Biscuit Filmworks, a London and Los Angeles based commercial production company, and featured in a 2009 AT&T commercial.

Built on a modified Club Car golf cart chassis with a 48-volt electric motor, the hand-molded fiberglass body contains all the important details from the game piece. With an up-close examination, you can get a sense of the quick turnaround in which these commercials are fabricated, nonetheless, the Monopoly car is a solidly built piece of popular culture.

The Monopoly car was generously donated to the museum by Darren Wright. Wright worked for the ad agency that wrote and developed the AT&T Commercial. When the shoot was “a wrap” the car was offered to Wright who jumped at the chance to own it!

the O.S.C.A. MT4 with the body by Frua and Morelli, was one of the most successful cars in the Sport category, continuing to win for over a decade, achieving the last victory, a first class, at the 500km of the Mugello in 1966.

Founded by the brothers Ernesto and Bindo Maserati after having sold the homonymous company to the Orsi family, the "Officine Specializzate Costruzione Automobili", aka O.S.C.A., began to produce cars based on the evolution of the Maserati 4CL: the abbreviation MT4 in fact means "Maserati Type 4"

Designed by the Pontiac engineer Herb Adams in the first half of the 60s, the Vivant 77 was a project of considerable

Built from scratch in Adams' garage, the Vivant was an interesting prototype powered by a 370 cubic-inch Pontiac V8 engine and equipped with Corvette C2 suspension and Kelsey-Hayes Bonneville wheels.

The body was made of aluminum by the "Beatles of Troy, Michigan" a trio of Englishmen - Harry Kennedy, Jack Henser and John Glover - famous in the American hot rod scene for their great job. It had only one appearance at the Detroit Autorama in 1966

this looks like an incredible place to have a Concours due to the terraced lawn. Heveningham Hall in Sullfolk, England. Previously a WW2 airfield

Heveningham Hall is a 5000 acre estate deep in the heart of rural Suffolk. The house was mostly designed by Sir Robert Taylor in 1778 for Sir Gerrard Vanneck, a wealthy Dutch merchant.

The Vanneck family owned the hall until 1970 when the hall, which by then was in a poor state of repair, was handed over to the Department of Environment in lieu of death duties. In 1981 the house was sold to an Iraqi businessman who then commenced to repair and conserve the hall, but died before restoration was completed.

It was then purchased in 1994 by the current custodian Mr and Mrs Jon Hunt, who then set about restoring the hall and the Capability Brown (18th century landscape artist) landscape to their former glory.
