"The Most Iconic Car"

Yeah, one of our own, Gary Bartlett, Kentucky Cobra Club member from Muncie, Indiana, owner of CSX3006 just won BIG in Italy. CSX3006 won "Most Iconic Car" at last weekend's Concorso at Villa d'Este in Cernabbio, Italy. The owner, Mr Gary Bartlett of Muncie, Indiana has been a member of the Kentucky Cobra Club since joining last year at the Concours d' Elegance at French Lick, Indiana. The photographs below provide a brief glimpse of the event. BEAUTIFUL LOCATION. We hope to arrange a road trip later in the Fall this year to see CSX3006 in person, together with his GT40 MKIII, rare gems both.

Description of the event:

The Concorso d’Eleganza is celebrating its 85th anniversary in 2014. The world’s most tradition-rich event for historic cars and motorcycles has been held in the same location since 1929, developing over the decades into a quite unparalleled occasion. Nowhere else do exclusive classic vehicles share the stage with trailblazing concept cars and prototypes in such stylish surroundings; the Concorso offers a compelling reminder of the enduring fascination engendered by motor vehicles on two wheels and four. Indeed, every year car and motorcycle aficionados from around the world flock to Lake Como to scrutinise the beauty of years past and compare those gifts with the design of the future. Over three days (23 – 25 May 2014) the Concorso d’Eleganza celebrates both the history of mobility and its future amid the beguiling grounds of the Villa d’Este luxury hotel and Villa Erba in Cernobbio.
