    Max, it's a '51 Cunningham C-1 Roadster, owned by the Revs Institute for Automtive Research, i.e. the Collier Collection. Upon Cunningham's death, Miles Collier, who was Cunningham's schoolmate at Yale, eventually purchased the Cunningham Collection virtually in total.

    I should have spent more time providing the important details on this car, since it's probably the most significant of all the Cunninghams at the Concours. Built in '51 with a Cadillac V8 motor, it is the first prototype of the B.S. Cunningham Company of West Palm Beach, FL, and thus was in effect the first all-American post-war sportscar. It was actually shipped to LeMans prior to the race and used for practice by the drivers to get used to the Sarthe circuit.
