Sunday's car-show fundraiser for the Lancaster Museum of Art featured Ferraris, Porsches, a Bentley, a Rolls Royce and a Lamborghini.
And those cars were in the parking lot outside the 11th annual "Artistry in Motion" event at Bridge Acres Stable, 1470 Hunsicker Road.
Once inside the 2008 car show, attendees feasted their eyes on more than 100 immaculate vintage vehicles from all over the world. Spectators also got a car/fashion segment featuring classic cars paired with men's and women's clothes and accessories.
Though there were fewer cars than the 130 featured last year, Bill Rothermel, the event's grand marshal, said "the quality is better this year."
The 2008 show featured marque was "Tri-Chevy 1955, '56, '57." Lisa Madenspacher's original artwork of a yellow and black 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air graced the event's 2008 catalog cover.
The two-door hardtop owned by C. Marlin Hess of Lititz, was one of several Bel Airs featured this year. Five other Bel Airs won awards:
Lancaster resident Jack Dennlinger's 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air, a 1956 two-door convertible owned by Clyde W. Horst of Lancaster, a 1957 Bel Air Nomad owned by Dick and Joanne Kauffman of Lancaster and a pair of 1957 Bel Air four-door hardtops owned by Mary Jane Rossiter of Reamstown and Barry T. Gertz of Lancaster.
This year's best in show winner went to a 1957 Pontiac Star Chief two-door hardtop coupe owned by George W. Weaver of East Earl.
The people's choice award, chosen by spectators at the show, went to Gertz' 1941 Chevrolet Special Deluxe two-door convertible.
The event began with breakfast at 9 a.m. at Greenfield Corporate Park and continued with a 10 a.m. tour by show participants, who drove 35 miles to Bridge Acres Stable.
Guests at the show ate a gourmet lunch, sipped wine and champagne and listened to live jazz while mingling among the cars, which shimmered in the afternoon sunshine. The event helps raise about $25,000 annually for the Lancaster Museum of Art.
Among the crowd of about 600 people was Lewis Frame III, 12, of Honey Brook, who spent time Sunday polishing a few vehicles brought to the show by his father, Lewis Frame Jr.
Frame cleaned the windows of a 1930 Packard 740 Sport Phaeton, which won the Classic Era Award Frame, and a 1947 Mercury woody wagon.
"It's very noticeable with the yellow wooded panels," Frame said. "The three-speed transmission is a joy to ride."
The 12-year-old ripped off facts detailing each car's features and histories. But Frame wasn't sure about the miles-per-gallon the historic cars got.
"I don't know; you'll have to ask the Federal Highway Commission about that," Frame said.
