CONCORSO Italiano®, This year The Celebration of Italian Style™ Celebrates Original and Barn Finds

I call them "Time Capsules".
"Barn Finds" or Classics in their original "discovered" condition are all the rage on the Show Car circuit. The Concorso is highlighting this class of cars this year with a special Centerpiece Display area.

I have long believed in the World of Cars, where examples are literally Works of Industrial Art, the mortals who have become their "Keepers", have the responsibility to preserve history and not make history or rewrite that cars story.

What outcry, if and owner of a Rembrandt, removed all the paint down to the canvas and had a contemporary artist apply a new paint in the "spirit" of the original painter, just so the final painting would not "show" all those "age" cracks.

Cars currently listed for the "Centerpiece" are:
