371: Rolling History - The Collectors and Classics of Cincinnati Concours d'Elegance

Join me for a special episode of The Collector Car Podcast as we go behind the scenes at the 47th Annual Cincinnati Concours d’Elegance to uncover the remarkable stories behind some of this year’s most memorable entries.

First up is a true time capsule: an unrestored 1967 Pontiac GTO that still wears its original paint, interior, and even its factory-installed exhaust. We chat with the owner about how this muscle car survived the decades unmodified—and the joy of preserving history over polishing it.

Next, we step back into the elegance of the classic era with a stunning 1931 Packard 840 Individual Custom Eight Dietrich Convertible Sedan. Its caretaker shares how this pre-war masterpiece, one of the rare Dietrich-bodied Packards, was found, revived, and remains a rolling tribute to American coachbuilding excellence.

From timeless elegance to raw performance, we then meet the owner of a rare TVR Sagaris, a wild, hand-built British sports car that’s as exotic as it is misunderstood. Learn what it’s like to live with this fiberglass rocket and why it steals attention wherever it goes.

Finally, we hear the heartwarming story of a 1961 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II, still in the hands of the same family that bought it new. With tales of weddings, family road trips, and quiet Sunday drives, this Silver Cloud is more than a car—it’s a living heirloom.

🎧 Listen now to celebrate the passion, legacy, and love behind the world’s most cherished collector cars.
