1953 Porsche 356 custom limousine

Byron Kauffman designed this one-off Porsche limousine for John Dixon for his daughter's wedding. It was built by Don Boeke at Egyptian Custom Body in Dayton, Ohio. The donor car was a basket case 356 Porsche that had been destroyed by corrosion.  All of the body fabrication was done in house while the interior was outsourced. The original 356 engine was replaced with a rebuilt Porsche 912 engine.

Ballot

The Ballot 3/8 LC was developed following World War 1 in France. It competed in the 1919 Indianapolis 500 as well as a number of Grand Prix races after that. It was designed by Ernest Henry. It was powered by a 3 liter 8 cylinder engine with dual overhead camshafts. It had four valves per cylinder. It was a very technically advanced engine for its time. It had limited racing victories but was an important step in the evolution of racing engines at the time. 

Hispano-Suiza "Black Bess"

 

The name Black Bess has been associated with several different racing cars and the story is a bit confusing. The information I found was on a Spanish language site. Google translate will render that in a language of your choice. Have a look at La Escuderia.
