We are so happy to bring this amazing car home and pair it with the first production 1955 Chrysler C-300. Thanks to Leake Auctions for the great event in Scottsdale, AZ. This car appeared on the cover of the March 1957 issue of Motor Trend and debuted at NASCAR Speedweeks in Daytona Beach in February.

These auctions bring some great cars and great people together for a special weekend. Dad and I had a great time. We hope to see you at one soon.
