1936 Cord Westchester Saloon Trevor Cowell
The team were immediately attracted to the stunning 1936 Cord Westchester Sedan belonging to Trevor Cowell , who is a garage owner and American car enthusiast . Originally hailing from Maryland , the car has been restored in 2010 and ended up in Sweden , coming to the UK in about 2016 .
1972 Buick Riviera Adam Pearce
Owner Adam Pearce cut his American car-owning teeth with this bodacious Buick and hasn ’ t looked back since . “ I just love driving it !” he enthuses . As befits Buick ’ s top-of-thetree model , it ’ s dripping with all the bells and whistles Flint could shoe-horn into their flagship .
1972 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Mike Churchill
This exceptional 1973 Mercury Cougar XR-7 also might look a little familiar to some folks . It ’ s the very same Cougar that won Car of the Year back in 2005 ! Laboriously restored 17 years ago , it ’ s unusual in that cars of this era have a lot more plastic used in their construction , which in itself is a challenge , yet this Mercury looks mint , as if it ’ s just rolled out of the factory .
1970 Buick GS Mike Smith
There ’ s no doubting Mike Smith ’ s dedication to this Buick which he ’ s owned for 37 years . He bought it as a basket case in 1984 and restored it himself initially in the Eighties , then drove and raced it for a couple of decades .
1958 Cadillac Steve Sullivan
The winner of the third heat of the Kingstown Shipping Car of the Year competition may look familiar to some , as it has swept the board in terms of trophies and accolades up and down the country , most recently winning the Fins & Chrome class at the London Concours .
1967 Dodge Coronet Mike Nash
Mike Nash is the proud owner of this stunning 1967 Dodge Coronet 440 that he acquired a few years ago and has found it to be every bit the gorgeous survivor car that it appears to be , with low mileage and ownership . It now boasts a 1973 360cu in V8 , hooked up to a 727 Torqueflite transmission .
