Mark’s is 39 of the 40. It is also the only one of its kind registered with the Rolls Royce Historical Society. These rare vehicles took a year and a half to produce, and sold for $20,020 at the time. Today this vehicle is considered to be priceless. The Rolls Royce company was started just 20 years earlier in 1904 by Charles Rolls and Henry Royce. This vehicle is a piece of history, and one of the earliest models of the luxury vehicle we know today. In addition to the 1934 Rolls Royce Parkward Saloon, this year’s Autofest will see the return of the custom Stutz “Speedster,” owned by Steven Gittleman. This one of a kind automobile was built for Cornelius and Grace Vanderbilt in 1926. The vehicle features the Vanderbilt colors, maroon and black, and was part of the introduction of the original “Vertical Eight” engine. The “Speedster” was considered to be technologically ahead of its time when it was built. The vehicle’s custom engine produced a higher horsepower than its competitors at the time, including the Cadillac, Duesenberg, Kissel, Lincoln, Packard and Wills St Clair. The vintage vehicle also features a fi tted “connestoga” top, which provided the Vanderbilts with comfort. In addition to these two showcase cars, over 100 vintage vehicles are expected to be on display at the Great Neck Plaza AutoFest and Street Festival including Model A Fords, Camaros, Matadors, Corvettes and other classic American and European cars.
