Saw these are the car show "Allard" named after a fellow hugger with the same namesake. Dennis, ever seen the second one?

Loving that '51 Allard (never heard of it) in 'Arrest Me Red.' Popular color. The silver or chrome '50 is a beauty, with enough medals and badges on its grill to keep a Russian general happy! Excellent shots, Mike, and thanks for sharing these classics!

Great images
Beautiful cars.
AS I recall Allards where built to order, more or less hand made.

Thank you very much Randy, just saw a picture of an North Korean general, he had enough medals pinned on him to supply a fleet of Allards.

Terrific shots Mike. The silver one looks almost futuristic rather than vintage.

Thank you Vicky, I wouldn't drive that one through a car wash, there might be pieces missing when it comes out.

I agree, not like today's cars, they have no character.

Very nice. Allards had that distinctive grill.

Ol' Frank Loc: Orlando,
 
I would like to see the silver one pass me at night on a country road just to see all those lights. Beautiful cars and very nice shots. I do remember Allards back in 1951 when I was trying to decide to be a newspaper reporter or not.
