The 2011 Sunday in the Park Concours and Gathering of the Clubs presented nearly 600 cars, highlighted by the nearly 200 Concours entrants parked on the front straight. The Car Show and Gathering of the Clubs blanketed the rest of the track.<\/p>\n<p>With Jaguar as the weekend sponsor, and the MG Vintage Racers Group making Historic Festival 29 its 2011 &#8216;focus&#8217; event, there was a strong congregation of MGs and Jags as expected. Additional notable entries at the 2011 Sunday in the Park Concours included the 1948 Cisitalia 202 MM Nuvolari Spyder of Michael Schwartz; Bill Binnie&#8217;s 1956 Ferrari 500 TR Prototype; ex-Briggs Cunningham 1963 Jaguar E-Type Coupe from the Miles Collier Collection; 1948\/49 Talbot Lago T26-C of David Duthu; Mitch Eitel&#8217;s 1950 Ferrari 166 MM Coupe; 1950 Abarth 205 Vignale of Elad Shraga; Thomas Jaycox&#8217;s 1953 Jaguar C-Type; among others.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s honored collector was Dr. Fred Simeone of Philadelphia, who brought four cars from his Simeone Foundation Museum collection &#8211; all of which run, and most of which are unrestored. They included a 1956 Jaguar D-Type that finished third at Sebring; 1934 MG K3, the best-placed of all MGs at Le Mans (1934, fourth overall); 1958 Aston Martin DBR1 chassis 3, overall winner at 1958 Nurburgring 1000KM at hands of Moss \/ Brabham; 1934 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 with body by Castagna in unrestored condition.<\/p>\n<p>The 2011 Sunday in the Park Concours at the Lime Rock Historics saw nearly 200 entrants contest for awards in 30 classes. Led by organizer Kent Bain, the judges awarded Best of Show to the 1911 Pope Hartford of Stewart Laidlaw. It competed in Class 1, &#8220;They Don&#8217;t Build &#8216;Em Like They Used To,&#8221; one of the many whimsical names of classes at the event.<\/p>\n<p>Pope Hartfords were built between 1908 and 1914, in Hartford, Conn., about an hour from Lime Rock Park. The company, Pope Manufacturing, was originally founded in 1878 by Civil War colonel Albert Augustus Pope to make and market what became the famous Columbia High Wheeler bicycle.<\/p>\n<p>Pope was one of the first automotive conglomerates, with separate lines consisting of the Pope Waverly, Pope Tribune, Pope Robinson, Pope Toledo and the Pope Hartford. Of these, the Pope Hartford was the only one built at the company headquarters in Hartford. Pope never built more than 700 cars per year; the Pope empire itself collapsed under its own weight in 1914.<\/p>\n<p>Owned by the Dick King Collection, this 1911 Pope Hartford Model W was presented by Stu Laidlaw. Originally part of the Bill Harrah Collection and recently restored, the Model W is powered by a massive 433 cubic-inch overhead valve inline four cylinder with an utterly unique engine note. &#8220;It&#8217;s a fabulous car to drive,&#8221; said Laidlaw as he accepted the Best in Show trophy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The roadster was a big hit at the show and impressed judges and spectators alike. It&#8217;s always great to see one of the foundational members of the automotive community at a show, and the Pope Hartford truly exemplifies the very pinnacle of the early motorcar,&#8221; said Dennis David, one of Sunday in the Park&#8217;s guest judges.<\/p>\n<p>Other significant winners at the 2011 Sunday in the Park Concours included a 1935 Rolls-Royce 20\/25 Sports Saloon wearing a body by Freestone &amp; Webb and owned by M.S. Koly; it won the Gatsby&#8217;s Delights award. The elegant Rolls is a celebrity itself, as it was the personal car of the Waters Sisters, a famous vaudeville act back in the day. The elegant Saloon was even equipped with separate make-up kits for the sisters.<\/p>\n<p>Also making an impression on the crowd and winning the &#8220;Risky &amp; Racy&#8221; class was Howard Kroplick&#8217;s huge 1909 ALCO racing machine. It even managed to blow one of the spectator&#8217;s sunglasses off his head with its bellowing exhaust. Built by the American Locomotive Company in Providence, R.I., the impressive machine roared to the reviewing stand to the delight of all. ALCO&#8217;s racing history includes Vanderbilt Cup wins in both 1909 and 1910.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to the <a title=\"2011 Lime Rock Historic Festival - Results and Photos\" href=\"https:\/\/sportscardigest.com\/lime-rock-historic-festival-2011-results-and-photos\/\">on-track action<\/a> at the 2011 Lime Rock Historic Festival, photographer Michael DiPleco also documented the Sunday at the Park Concours, offering the following 130 images that highlight the strong field of cars that took part in the event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday in the Park Concours at Lime Rock Historic Festival 2011 \u2013 Photo Gallery<\/strong> (click image for larger picture and description)<\/p>\n<p>[envira-gallery id=&#8221;138310&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday in the Park Concours at Lime Rock Historic Festival 2011 \u2013 Class Winners<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lime Rock Historic Festival 2011, Best in Show<br \/>\n1911 Pope Hartford, Stewart Laidlaw, Redding, Conn.
