The hills were alive with the sound of exhaust notes – over 1,000 of them, to be exact. The Concours in the Hills took place on Saturday, April 19, in Fountain Hills, Arizona, and continued its longstanding tradition of bringing together collector cars for a charitable cause. Since 2018, the concours has raised about $2 million for Phoenix Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. The event has become one of the region’s favorite and best-attended annual automotive attractions in the state. Event founder Peter Volny answered a few questions for me about this year’s program, which we’ll get to later in the story. For now, I’d like to show you a handful of cars that stood out to me on the show field. https://lnkd.in/gk-Vc-JJ

In 1958, Chevrolet updated its model names, using proper names across the board. The replacement for the 150 was the Delray, a name that was formerly used on a fancy 210. The latter model became the Biscayne. Move up one and you’d have the Bel Air, which had existed for several years already. And a special-edition Bel Air—a name that would eventually become a million-seller—was the Impala. Go-fast types eschewed the style of the Impala and gravitated to the Delray, then added a fuel-injected 283 or the new big-block 348. This 1958 Chevrolet Delray two-door sedan listed on AutoHunter wears this attitude well. It’s powered by a rebuilt Super Turbo-Thrust 348 big-block backed by a four-speed manual transmission. Finished in black over a black/teal/white vinyl and cloth interior, this Bow Tie comes from the selling dealer with a clear title. https://lnkd.in/gXNndUcH

Station wagons are a relatively rare sight in the United States these days, so they have a certain unusual charm to them. Whatever you or various manufacturers want to call them (estate wagons, Avants, Tourings), they have more cargo room than sedans, yet they’re not crossovers or SUVs. Wagons are somewhere in the middle, but they’re not lost—people who like longroofs know exactly where to find them. Some wagon enthusiasts can make them look even cooler than they already are. Our Pick of the Day, a modified 1994 BMW 540i Touring posted by a dealer in Michigan, is proof of that. https://lnkd.in/gKWBZJGE
