Welcome

A Letter from the Governor

Greetings, On behalf of the State of Ohio, my wife Karen and I welcome you to the 39th annual Ault Park Concours d’Elegance, one of the longest-running automotive celebrations of its kind in the country. Ohio is proud to host this internationally-recognized event, which showcases some of the rarest and historically significant automobiles and motorcycles in the world. This year’s show honors the rare and unique cars of that iconic Italian marque, Ferrari, as well as highlighting special classes of BMW cars and motorcycles, Ford GT40 racecars, Donald Healey’s creations, and the traditional workhorse of Ohio’s farms and businesses—pickup trucks.

The automobile industry has been a significant presence in Ohio for over a century. The legacies of innovation and quality of the early days of motoring are carried on by today’s modern factories producing world-class parts and automobiles across the state.

The proceeds from the Ault Park Concours support Juvenile Arthritis research and assistance programs of the Arthritis Foundation, benefiting the many children and their families in the Southern Ohio region who are afflicted with this debilitating disease.

We hope you enjoy your visit to Ault Park—one of Cincinnati’s many beautiful city parks - to view the spectacular vehicles on display, and we thank you for supporting this grand event. To those visiting from out of state, it is our hope that you will return again and again to the Queen City and the great state of Ohio. Best wishes for another memorable and enjoyable event!

Sincerely,

John R. Kasich Governor

Welcome

O

n behalf of the City of Cincinnati, it’s my great pleasure to welcome you to the Ault Park Concours d’Elegance.

During the past 39 years, this event has attracted thousands of spectators and participants from across the United States and Canada, becoming one of the most anticipated events for classic car enthusiasts in the entire nation.

Ever since the first event was held at the estate of William and Helen Williams in 1978, Concours d’Elegance has become associated with presenting the best of classic car design, generating excitement far and wide among aficionados.

I am especially excited about the theme of this year’s event, “An Italian Icon—Ferrari.” As you know, it’s also the 100th anniversary of BMW and the 50th anniversary of the Ford GT-40, so I expect this year’s displays will be especially interesting and engaging.

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Concours committee for all of its hard work. Event organizers have generated more than $1 million for our local chapter of the Arthritis Foundation. Your efforts have been crucial to bringing new awareness to the fight against juvenile arthritis, and the Greater Cincinnati community is grateful.

Cincinnati is a city where you will find unparalleled arts, celebrated cultural institutions, and world-class entertainment options. We are proud to be the home to one of the top five zoos in the nation, excellent museums, a nationally recognized park system, and critically acclaimed restaurants.

After enjoying the Concours weekend, I hope you will take time to visit the many attractions and amenities that have made our city a popular tourist destination over the years.

Cincinnati is proud to host this celebration of automotive excellence once again. As Mayor, I hope you enjoy this fantastic event.

Sincerely,

Welcome

Letter from the Chairman

I

t is once again my great honor to welcome you to the 39th annual Ault Park Concours d’Elegance, one of the oldest and most respected celebrations of vintage and classic cars in the U.S. From the early days at the Williams estate, we have strived to present an interesting and exciting display of automotive elegance, and this year is no different. Ferraris, Austin Healeys, BMWs, Ford GT40s, and pickup trucks…and that’s not all…the show field will be covered with gleaming American and foreign vintage cars, sports cars, muscle cars, and motorcycles of every description.

New this year will be a beer garden featuring craft beers from brewers here in the Greater Cincinnati area. Relax with a cold one from a vantage point high above the field and enjoy both the view and the automotive artwork next door.

The Concours is not just a beautiful walk in the park—it’s an event that all Cincinnatians can be proud of. Hundreds of volunteers spend countless hours to ensure a wonderful experience for exhibitors and participants. Collectively, our sponsors, board of directors, committee, volunteers, exhibitors, and our attendees support our mission of raising money to help local children with juvenile arthritis and their families cope with the challenges of this debilitating disease.

Enjoy the show!

Welcome

From the Chief Judge

T

he 2016 team of judges and I would like to thank all of the car owners for bringing such a wonderful group of vehicles to our 39th Ault Park Concours d’Elegance. I hope that you will enjoy this year’s event as much as we enjoy planning it for you.

Judging at Ault Park Concours follows the traditional Concours d’Elegance standards set by the early events that took place in the ’20s and ’30s where style, presence, and elegance determine the winners. The judges will also take into account the historical significance of the design of the car, as well as assessing the quality and accuracy of the restoration of the interior, exterior, and the engine compartment.

Again this year we are awarding two Best of Show awards, the first from the traditional classes and the second, an Esprit de Sport award selected from the sports car and racing classes.

We have assembled a highly qualified team of judges from around the country to aid in the selection of Best of Class, First Place, and Awards of Distinction for each class. We also have many special awards and, lastly, the two Best of Show awards.

We believe every vehicle on the field is a winner, and we would love to give every one of you a trophy for taking the time from your busy schedules to display such beautiful works of art for the enjoyment of the public and to further such a wonderful cause.

The Judging Team wishes to thank all of you for coming!

Following retirement, he designed Art Deco furniture, then focused on automotive art. His style is based on a lifelong interest in realistic drawing.

The drawing base can still be seen in his finished work. The color rendering is created digitally. Many of the subjects in his work are vintage race cars, as Bob has been a vintage racer for 30 years. Please visit the website he shares with his design partner/son, Tony: colaizzidesign.com.

From the Arthritis Foundation

Kids Get Arthritis Too!

D

“My 5-year-old daughter, Sierra, has JIA, which is still not controlled after over a year of treatments. She already has permanent damage to both knees, one ankle, and the joints of her hands. The generous people who made it possible for our family to participate in the JA Conference are heroes to us. Sierra met her new best friend, Madison, at the conference who understands and shares her challenges with JIA. I promised I would do everything possible to protect Sierra. Thank you for helping me keep that promise.”

Our programs, resources, and continued research into a cure would not be possible without the support of our partners. The Concours d’Elegance has been our leading JA partner and supporter of our programs for more than seven years and a benefactor of the Arthritis Foundation Ohio River Valley for 39 years. Through their support we have been able to create programs and resources that have benefited all of our local JA families.

Thank you, Concours d’Elegance!

Hagerty Youth Judging Program We welcome Hagerty representative Stephanie Ruotsala, who joins us to head up their 2016 Youth Judging Program at the Ault Park Concours. Now in the sixth year of our “Partnership for Youth” with Hagerty, we are even more energized to introduce new kids to this special automotive experience. The enthusiasm and intensity with which our youth judges set out to select their winning vehicles is truly inspiring!

A testimonial to the success of the program is Kevin Scarpa of Loveland, Ohio.

Serving as a Hagerty youth judge for two years, Kevin graduated in 2015 to the position of apprentice judge on the Concours judging team! He returns this year to continue his apprenticeship, “fueled” by his love of cars. The Ault Park Concours is proud to have one of the largest youth judging teams in the country. We are truly grateful for Hagerty’s support with fostering future generations of car enthusiasts.

Hagerty provides the official judging gear, including T-shirts, hats, and scorecards, and helps teach our young judges about the cars and evaluation criteria.

A small group of cars are preselected to be scored by the Youth Judges, who also present awards to their top three vehicles. Participants have the opportunity to interact with car owners, carefully inspect each car, and make the determination of their favorites based on the scoring criteria.

This program has room for 25 children between the ages of 8 and 15. If you know of a child who may be interested for next year, please contact the Cincinnati Concours Foundation office at (513) 321-1951 or info@ohioconcours.com.

espite the common yet inaccurate belief that arthritis is “an old person’s” disease, 300,000 American children endure the debilitating pain and severely disabling effects of juvenile arthritis (JA) in its many forms. From systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)—a form of rheumatoid arthritis seen in children— to systemic sclerosis—a form of arthritis that affects the skin, muscle tissue, joints, blood vessels, and even internal organs—juvenile arthritis robs children of the joys of childhood, altering and Cameron, one of the 300,000 faces of JA even threatening their lives.

Although there are effective treatments available for some forms of JA, none of them were developed especially for children. Even JA patients who have access to doctors with a clear understanding of the varying forms of the disease must still undergo a process of trial and error before an effective treatment is determined. This wastes valuable time while the child endures chronic pain and the disease progresses, causing lasting damage and disability.

The Arthritis Foundation has been fighting juvenile arthritis and supporting families for more than 60 years. The Arthritis Foundation Ohio River Valley goals are to provide local JA families with education, resources, and support for managing juvenile arthritis through our JA programs. The following excerpt, from a grateful parent of a 5-year-old girl with JIA, tells the story of how these programs can make a big impact in their lives:

£ IN THE SUMMER OF 1952, CINCINNATIAN EDMUND “EBBY” LUNKEN BOUGHT a 166MM Ferrari, and Cincinnati car culture has never been the same since.

Like many a young American returning home from WWII, Lunken, who was a pilot in the war, sought out high-speed thrills stateside in the form of road racing. And few cars could provide racing thrills like those produced by Enzo Ferrari in Maranello, Italy.

Born in 1898, Ferrari was a well-established driver and race team manager with Alfa Romeo in the 1920s and ’30s. Once Italy began to recover from the war in the late 1940s, Enzo began designing, selling, and preparing cars bearing his own name.

Right from inception Ferrari’s cars proved victorious in Europe, with the first major win coming in 1949 at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans in France.

Keenly aware of Ferrari’s success in Europe, Lunken was intent on becoming an early Ferrari adopter here in the states. As heir to the valve manufacturing company founded by his grandfather Frederick Lunkenheimer, Lunken had the resources and connections necessary to bring such a rare Italian machine into the U.S. He also had the help of Luigi Chinetti. Chinetti was Italian born, but became a U.S. citizen during WWII. As one of the winning drivers on the

22 | Ault Park Concours d’Elegance

1949 Le Mans team and a close pal of Enzo Ferrari, Chinetti set up a Ferrari distributorship in the U.S. to market the “prancing horse” to wealthy sportsmen just like Lunken.

In 1953, Lunken took his newly bought 166MM to the famed 12hour race in Sebring, Florida, where he finished sixth overall and first in class with fellow driver and Cincinnatian Charles Hassan.

Hassan, who worked in his family’s construction company, had also started a firm in Indian Hill that imported and sold British sports cars.

Undoubtedly seeing all the fun that Lunken and Hassan were

2016 Featured Marque having, several other thrill-seeking Cincinnatians sought out racing Ferraris, and thus the famed Cincinnati Gang—a group of swashbuckling well-to-do sports car racers from the Queen City— was formed.

“From the point that Lunken first took to the track to the next eight years, six different Cincinnatians drove over 20 different Ferraris in 146 starts winning 39 times. It was quite a ride into the record books,” says Kurt Niemeyer, editor of Cincy Motorsports Journal and a sports car racer himself.

In 1956, Lunken drove a Ferrari 500 Testa Rossa to several victories and earned a Sports Car Club of America National Championship in the E Modified class.

Fellow Cincinnati racers John Quackenbush, Howard Hively, and James Johnston also competed in Ferrari TRs, with Johnston taking his own SCCA National Championship in 1958.

“About 41 Testa Rossas were produced among the 500 TR, 500 TRC, and 250 TR models.

Seven of those cars made their way to Cincinnati, or about 17 percent of all the cars built in three years,” Niemeyer says.

Motorsports author Carl Goodwin recalls the Cincinnati Gang “frequently gathered at road races in the Midwest, lining their cars up in the paddock to form a wonderful Ferrari row.”

Goodwin chronicles the Cincinnati Gang’s exploits in his fascinating book about the burgeoning days of sports car racing, They Started in MGs. By 1959, most of The Cincinnati Gang had left racing. In 1995, both Chuck Hassan and Ebby Lunken passed away. “Hassan and his friends were front runners at many of the major races, and they’ll be remembered as part of the golden age of sports cars in the ’50s,” Goodwin wrote.

100 YEARS OF BMW

£ BMW Z8

IN MARCH OF 1916 THE BAYERISCHE

Motoren Werke began as a merger of two German aircraft engine manufacturers, but by 1919 the armistice that ended WWI caused the company to shift its focus away from airplanes and into motorcycles and automobiles. Thus was born one of the world’s great brands— BMW. This year’s Ault Park Concours d’Elegance celebrates the 100-year anniversary of the company that brought the world the “Ultimate Driving Machine.”

Few companies have produced as wide a variety of vehicles as BMW. One only needs to look at the contrast between Michael McCloskey’s 1957 BMW Isetta slide window cabriolet, Jerry Ball’s 1959 R50 motorcycle, and Rick Grant’s 1972 CSL 3.0 to see the breadth of machinery that has rolled out of Munich.

The CSL is a lightweight version of BMW’s flagship 6-cylinder coupe, boasting a fuel-injected, 3-liter engine producing 200 horsepower capable of pushing the elegant coupe to a top speed beyond 130 miles per hour—quite remarkable for a 1970s touring car.

The Isetta couldn’t be more different than the CSL. Always a crowd favorite, the Isetta generates lots of smiles with its threewheel configuration, front opening door, and overall egg shape.

Originally conceived in Italy by Iso (Isetta means “little Iso”), the Isetta was licensed for manufacture all over the world, and the version BMW made became the most popular.

During a time in the late 1950s when gas prices were soaring in Europe, the Isetta’s 1-cylinder engine capable of 50 miles per hour and 70 miles per gallon became a hot seller.

THE ALL-AMERICAN WORKHORSE THE PICKUP TRUCK IS A TRULY American invention, and it has its origins in custom bodies for hauling cargo that were put on Ford and Dodge chassis in the 1910s and 1920s. Today, of course, the pickup truck is ubiquitous in the U.S., and more often than not, is used as a family passenger vehicle rather than an actual workhorse.

Terry Jacobs’s 1940 International D2 is a nice example of the days when trucks were meant for work, but still had a utilitarian charm. Jacobs’s D2 is back from a relatively recent 10-month, ground-up restoration featuring a fresh coat of its original light shade of factory green. The 4,600-pound International is powered by a 6-cylinder, 213 cubic-inch motor mated to a three-speed transmission that is shifted from the floor.

Another unique truck on hand for the Concours is the 1961 Corvair Rampside pickup of Joe Slagle from London, Ohio. Most car people know the story of the Corvair—Chevrolet’s innovative but short-lived rear-engine, air-cooled automobile—but not many realize there’s a pickup version. One of the most novel features of this pickup is its “rampside” door, which lowers down from the side of the bed and forms a ramp upon which heavy cargo can be rolled into the cargo bed.

FERRARI ON DISPLAY The Cincinnati Gang’s passion for speed lives on today with the tristate region’s remarkable trove of historically significant Ferraris, several of which can be seen at this year’s Ault Park Concours.

Concours attendees, for example, will have a chance to see two of local collector Jim Jaeger’s insanely rare Ferraris: a 1962 250 GTO and a 1967 GTB/4*S N.A.R.T. Spider.

Fewer than 40 GTOs were made between 1962 and 1964, and many consider them to be the most beautiful and highly coveted Ferraris ever made. Jaeger’s GTO is one of the rarest in existence being one of only two that were originally fitted with a larger 4-liter V12, hence it had a “330 LM” designation when it raced at LeMans in 1962. It now has the normal 3-liter engine installed with a “250” designation, named for the fact that each cylinder has 250 cubic centi-

meters of displacement.

Jaeger’s 1967 GTB, a gorgeous open-top example, derives the “N.A.R.T.” part of its name from the North American Racing Team. Luigi Chinetti, so instrumental in Ferrari’s early history in America (including the earlier mentioned association with Ebby Lunken) formed his own American-based Ferrari racing team in 1958. The team actively campaigned until 1982, winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1965, and collaborated with some of the world’s most renowned drivers, including Mario Andretti, Phil Hill, and Pedro Rodriguez.

The story goes that Chinetti requested Ferrari make a convertible “Spider” version of its 275 so that he could market the 275 in top down–loving America. Thus these beauties, only 10 of which were produced, have been evermore known as “N.A.R.T. Spiders.”

Remarkably, one of Chinetti’s

own personal cars will also be on display at this year’s Concours.

The 1967 330 GTS was purchased directly from Chinetti by Scott Isquick of Pepper Pike, Ohio, after his wife, Pamela, fell in love with it at a vintage race at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut.

The car features a number of noteworthy features including its original factory giallo paint (also known as Fly Yellow because, some say, bright yellow Ferraris tend to attract flying insects), a special third seat that Chinetti perhaps special ordered so his granddaughter could ride along, and a Daytona inlet manifold with six carburetors that push the car to 400-plus horsepower.

Ferrari, of course, continues on today as one of the world’s foremost car brands.

Cincinnati collector Alan Statman will share a pair of 2016 Ferraris at this year’s Concours—a

2014 F12 Berlinetta and a 488 GTB. The GTB is an evolution of the 458 Italia that preceded it, featuring a smaller, yet more powerful, 3.9-liter engine cracking out 660 horsepower courtesy of twin turbochargers.

Naught to 62 miles per hour comes in just three seconds, and top speed is reported to be 205 mph.

Where the 488 makes power from forced induction, the F12 Berlinetta offers good old-fashioned Ferrari brute force. The F12 has a front engine 6.3-liter V12 generating 730 horsepower. Despite that enormous lump under the hood, the F12 is reported to be a car that’s comfortable and luxurious enough to drive every day.

See the F12, as well as dozens of other vintage automobiles and motorcycles, up close on the show field at the 2016 Ault Park Concours d’Elegance. Ebby Lunken and the Cincinnati Gang would surely be proud. O

once owned by Howard Hively, a member of the famed Cincinnati Gang of 1950s sports car racers, became embroiled in a fascinating legal drama over the last several years.

In the late 1950s, Hively sold his 1954 Ferrari 4.9-liter 375 Spider to another Cincinnati resident, Karl Kleve. In 1989, the Ferrari disappeared from the Green Township property where it had been kept for several decades.

The car eventually ended up in Europe in the hands of a Belgian collector, who had bought and fully restored the car.

Displayed as part of the Ferrari factory’s museum, the car was discovered to be the ex-Howard Hively Ferrari, and a complicated legal dispute about the car’s rightful ownership ensued between several parties, including Kleve’s family and the Belgian who possessed the car. As part of litigation, the parties eventually resolved to auction off the Ferrari and split the proceeds.

In 2014, the historic Ferrari hammered home for $15 million at the Bonhams auction held at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England. But the legal issues didn’t stop there.

Additional pending legal disputes regarding the car’s ownership surfaced after the auction sale. To date, the saga continues.

Everyone Wins.

We are honored to be sponsors of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ault Park Concours dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Elegance. This 3-day event always promises to provide a wonderful combination of fun, food, art, and entertainment for all classic automotive and motorcycle enthusiasts in the Cincinnati community. But the real winners are the local children with Juvenile Diabetes and their families who are the recipients of the proceeds raised during this event. Thank you for supporting this worthy cause and best of luck to all of the contestants in the show.

Cincinnati Proud.
