A few years ago, Cd'E started a class for unrestored cars. And I'm glad they did because it has become my favorite. Restored cars are great, but sometimes it is even better to see them in all their original glory. (I would say this about women, too!)
Like this 1932 Marmon Sixteen.
Or this 1930 Hispano-Suiza H6C.
1935 Frazer Nash TT
1934 Brewster Town Car
1932 Lincoln KB
1933 Lincoln KB
1935 Lincoln K Sedan. This is unrestored? Must have been in storage its entire life...
1935 Voisin C25 Clairiere Berline
1935 Voisin C25 Clairiere Berline. As you'll see, this car really caught my attention as I took many photos of it.

1935 Voisin C25 Clairiere Berline. I had never heard of this brand before, but the hood-to-fender straps look familiar so I must have seen one somewhere before.
1935 Voisin C25 Clairiere Berline. This particular car was first displayed at the 1935 Geneva Auto Show then spent the next 45 years in a museum, where it gathered this patina. 30 of these cars were built, not many survive.

1935 Voisin C25 Clairiere Berline. This piqued my interest enough to do a bit of research. This exact car was also displayed at Cd'E in 2006 making this a rare second appearance. It has also changed hands twice in recent years - for $330K each time.
