The vehicles entered into Salon Privé (August 30-September 2) now in its 17th edition, seem to get better and better each year, for which Andrew and David Bagley together with their selection committee are to be congratulated.

Salon Privé Concours d’Elégance 2022

From the Style Setters class, 1956 Chrysler Boano Speciale Coupe. In 1955 Gianni Agnelli commissioned Mario Boano, formerly of Carrozzeria Ghia, to build this Chrysler-Boano Coupé.

Agnelli chose his favourite and from that single sketch a ‘master model’ was created.
