This 1934 Bugatti Type 57 Stelvio Cabriolet, Gangloff, owned by LBI Limited of Philadelphia, is one of the most celebrated non-racing Bugattis ever built. This model retains its original engine, paint and interior. It was hidden under a pile of hay in a barn in France in World War II. It was just one of the spectacular classic automobiles competing Sunday at the Radnor Concours d'Elegance.

The 20th Annual Radnor Hunt Concours d'Elegance drew thousands to the Chester County countryside on Sunday for a nationally recognized invitational motor car event. Considered one of the top 10 such events in the nation, the Malvern show featured hundreds of classic cars and benefited the Thorncroft Equestrian Center. It turns out their are three places at this event to spot incredible cars: the Concourse d'Elegance invitational event itself, the MotorSport Park which allows car owners to show off their own special vehicles and, of course, the parking lot.

This 1958 BMW 507 Roadster, owned by Thomas Pesikey of Wilmington, Del., sold new for $9,000 in the United States. Because of its extravagant price, it did not sell well and just 253 were produced, including this car originally delivered to Venezuela. Restoration was completed in March 2016.
