I love the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette. One of my most favorite cars of all time.

In a few short weeks, the La Jolla Concours d’Elegance takes place April 25-27. What will you see there? More than 120 automobiles across 11 classes on the lawn of Ellen Browning Scripps Park. Here are five of the featured vehicles that caught our eye.
1934 Packard 1101
This American-made vehicle was commissioned specifically for the president of Uruguay. After time overseas, it eventually returned to the U.S., where it was restored.
1903 Oldsmobile “The Spirit of San Diego”
This hometown hero of a car participated in the London-to-Brighton Veteran Car Run, a tradition dating back to the 1800s and billed as the “world’s longest-running motoring event.” The Oldsmobile completed the run in 7 hours and 49 minutes.
1938 Lincoln Model K Twelve
This Lincoln served as Edsel Ford's personal spectator car. It’s a one-of-a-kind Judkins Model 1440, the last Judkins body ever built. J.B. Judkins, the company’s namesake, eventually went on to own it.
1939 Delahaye T-165 V-12 “World's Fair”
The French government built this car for the 1939 World’s Fair in New York. When World War II broke out, it became stuck in U.S. Customs, remaining there for 8 years. After the war, a dealer bought the car, and it's now part of the collection at the Petersen Automotive Museum.
1963 Chevrolet Corvette
This may be the last Split-Window Fuelie Corvette built in Ermine White. It came off the line on August 5, 1963, just three days before production ceased.
