2015 Pebble Beach Best of Show winning Isotta Fraschini ...
Yesterday, the Monterey Car Week culminated with the 65th annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and more specifically the presentation of the Best of Show. Chosen from the day's class winners, this award is one of the, if not the most coveted in the classic car world. This year, the honour was bestowed on Jim Patterson and his fabulous Isotta Fraschini 8A Worblaufen Cabriolet. The striking body with a dramatically long nose was actually built a few years after the chassis was completed in Italy. The work of Swiss coach-builder Ramseier, the car made its debut in its current guise at the 1932 Geneva Motor Show and was later also awarded the Grand Prix d'Honneur in the Cannes Concours d'Elegance. From 1960s, it was consecutively owned by two famous French collectors, until Patterson acquired the car at auction early in 2014. It was immediately entrusted to Canadian experts RM Restorations, who worked their magic in record time..
