A Rolls-Royce Springfield Silver Ghost, purchased new by famed billionaire Howard Hughes during The Roaring Twenties, captured Best of Show honors at the fifth anniversary Pinehurst Concours d\u2019Elegance at Pinehurst Resort last Saturday (above, photo courtesy of Pinehurst Concours).<\/p>\n

The Pinehurst Concours was just the second time the tan-bodied 1925 Rolls-Royce with black fenders and red-spoke wheels had been shown since owner Guy Lewis purchased it three years ago. Prior to that, the car had been sitting in a Florida barn for more than four decades.<\/p>\n

The Rolls-Royce\u2019s restoration was completed three months ago by Lloyds Auto Restoration, a job that included the gilded HH initials on the three pieces of fitted luggage found in the trunk that once belonged to Hughes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI found a Rolls-Royce in a barn, it was a Silver Ghost and then I find out it was a Howard Hughes car \u2014 so it was like hitting the Trifecta,\u201d said Lewis, 55, of Pinecrest, Florida.<\/p>\n

Hughes purchased the car for $13,450 on his honeymoon on Christmas Day in 1924. It took 10 months to build.<\/p>\n

The Rolls joins previous Pinehurst Concours Best of Show winners that have included a 1928 Isotta Fraschini 8ASS (2016), a 1919 Pierce-Arrow Model 66 A-4 Tourer (2015), a 1931 Cadillac 452A (2014) and a 1938 Steyr 220 Glaser Roadster (2013). The 2013 and 2016 Best of Show winners, both owned by Peter Boyle of Oil, City, Pennsylvania, were on hand as display cars for patrons to enjoy.<\/p>\n

The 2017 Best of Show came from the European Classics Pre-War class \u2014 one of 14 classes judged Saturday \u2014 and has logged just 16,000 miles. It was the third time Lewis had been to the Pinehurst Concours, previously showing two of his vintage Mercedes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to bring something this time that was just going to blow them away,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cWe just finished this car up and I\u2019m so proud, it showed so well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love old cars,\u201d he added. \u201cI\u2019m an eclectic kind of guy. Just growing up everybody loved cars. You were known by your car. I\u2019ve always had that passion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lewis, now an attorney, was a U.S. prosecutor in Miami under Presidents Bush and Clinton, and is noted for prosecuting former Panama General Manuel Noriega.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m like living the dream \u2014 20 years working for the government and now I\u2019m showing Rolls-Royces,\u201d Lewis said.<\/p>\n

A 1967 Mazda Cosmo Sport 110S from the Japanese Classics class \u2014 an example thought to be one of the most original Cosmo Sports in the world \u2014 captured the prestigious HVA\/FIVA award.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were some beautiful cars on the field today, some that were just drop-dead gorgeous,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cIt is the nicest field I\u2019ve seen in the three years I\u2019ve been here. But my car showed really well with some of the documents and that luggage. I was just happy to win Best in Class, and never expected to win Best of Show. I am going to show the car a few more times and then I\u2019m going to start driving it.\u201d<\/p>\n
