The 1937 Talbot-Lago T150-C “Goutte d’Eau” owned by Peter and Merle Mullin (above) has won the inaugural Peninsula Classics Best of the Best award, which was presented last night in Carmel, California.
The prize, judged by a panel of nearly two dozen notable motoring experts, evaluated the Best of Show winners from six of the world’s most prestigious Concours d’Elegance to select the Best of the Best. In addition to the Mullin Talbot-Lago, which qualified by winning at the Goodwood Revival, the field included a 1903 Mercedes 60HP Simplex from England’s Royal Concours of Elegance, a 1932 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A S Sport Cabriolet from Pebble Beach, a 1930 Cord L29 Brooks Stevens Speedster from Amelia Island, a 1965 Ferrari 166 P / 206 SP Dino 0834 from the Cavallino Classic and a 1968 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale from The Quail.
This year’s winner, the Mullins’ Talbot-Lago, will be recognized as such this Friday, on stage at the 14th annual The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering.
