The Wynn Golf Club’s collection of cars demonstrated how drastically automobiles have evolved over the past 100 years.

Similar to the renowned unlimited buffets in the city, the Las Vegas Concours d’Elegance this year included an array of options suitable for all tastes. Rimac Nevera, a Batmobile from Tim Burton’s Batman films from the 1990s, an ultra-rare Bugatti Type 57 Ventoux, and an Aston Martin DB5 were among the eye-catching vehicles that covered the lush greens of the Wynn Golf Club on Saturday. The collection of cars not only demonstrated the advancements made in the last century in the automobile but also provided some fascinating looks at what’s still to come. Though there were many interesting cars to see, the organizers named a 1935 Duesenberg SJ and a 1969 Lamborghini Miura S as their pre- and post-war Best in Show winners. These are the 12 vehicles that most impressed us.

1925 “Round Door Rolls” Phantom I Aerodynamic Coupe by Jonckheere

Not many barn finds are as amazing as this classic Rolls, which took home the Robb Report’s “Dream Machine” title. The coupé was a lovely cabriolet when it left the factory, but Jonckheere modified it in 1934 with a more pronounced Art Deco-style body. The shiny black car’s large rear fin, round doors, and slanted radiator were an instant hit, but that didn’t stop it from finally breaking apart. Luckily, the car was rediscovered in the early 1950s and restored to its former splendor. It is currently owned by the Petersen Automotive Museum.

1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Town Car

According to legend, Constance Bennett, a famous actress from the golden age of cinema, adored and possessed this long-wheelbase Phantom II Town Car for over ten years, until her husband lost it in a card game. This is undoubtedly one of the most exquisite Town Cars you will ever see, even though the narrative may not be true. Its unique open-air driver’s cockpit and the exquisite paint job on the rear doors that resembles latticework will definitely win you over.

1936 Mercedes-Benz Type 500K Special Roadster

Very few automobiles combine substance and style as well as the Type 500K. Dating back to the third and last year of the model’s manufacture, this shimmering silver grand tourer was sure to turn heads wherever it went and yet had enough power to leave rival cars in its wake. It makes sense that it is included in the collection of the National Automobile Museum.

1939 Delahaye 165

Are you curious in what the supercar’s pre-war equivalent was? Simply glance at the 165. With its sweeping lines and chrome trim, the curved speed machine—powered by a V-12 race engine—makes it obvious that it was designed to go fast. Beyond just its flamboyant appearance, the automobile was selected to showcase French technological achievement at the 1939 World’s Fair in New York.

1957 AMC Metropolitan

This 1957 Metropolitan has more charm than any other automobile in the Las Vegas Concours this year. Yes, the performance could be a little on the meek side, but who cares when a car looks this cute? Considering the time, it was also a very fuel-efficient vehicle, with nearly equal power (52 hp) and gas economy (40 mpg).

1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

Elvis Presley is one of the most well-known personalities in Vegas, and Cadillac is the automaker most closely linked to the King. It was therefore not shocking to find so many of the brand’s impressive automobiles dispersed around the lawn of the Wynn Golf Club. Among those, this 1957 Eldorado Biarritz was the one that truly stopped us cold. There were just 1,800 of these convertibles produced, and they were incredibly attractive due to their heavy chrome decoration.

1960 Ferrari 250 SWB Competition

There are plenty of Ferraris parked on the grass in Las Vegas, just like at any other good concours. It’s difficult to choose a favorite, but this 1960 Coppa d’Oro winner at Monza, a short wheelbase 250, is quite exceptional. It has a recently repaired engine and an eye-catching Rosso Corsa paint job with white racing gumballs. The fact that the owner and his son actually drive the vehicle—the latter having used it to practice stick-shift driving—is our favorite feature of the vehicle.

1961 Mercedes-Benz 300SL

Over the past century, Mercedes has produced a number of stunning vehicles, but none is nearly as notable as the 300SL. The W194 race car’s road variant, initially offered as a gullwing coupé and then as a roadster, is the iconic model of the brand and combines performance and style in a way that very few vehicles have ever done. This version, from Phillip Sarofim’s collection, has a beautiful metallic green-over-green color scheme and can reach a top speed of 163 miles per hour.

1963 Jaguar E-Type FHC Series 1

One of the most beautiful cars the world has ever seen is the E-Type. On the road or track, the coupé with racing roots may be competitive as well. Belonging to a longstanding enthusiast of Jaguar cars, this gorgeous black U.S.-spec example was recently repaired to like-new condition in the U.K. before being sent back over the pond.

1964 Shelby “Last 289” Cobra

During the swinging sixties, this specimen of one of Carroll Shelby’s most well-known designs was the last to be constructed with its fabled small-block V-8 engine. But it’s not the only thing that sets this roadster, with its eye-catching blue-and-gold paint job, apart. For the majority of his life, Shelby used it as his personal vehicle and added it to his collection.

1965 Shelby Mustang GT350R

Shelby has produced other iconic sports cars besides the Cobra. Our favorite among a plethora of vintage Mustangs was this GT350R racer, owned by Aaron, co-president of the Carroll Shelby Foundation and the grandson of the automotive great. This racing-liveried, white-and-blue fastback ‘Stang is a remarkable example of why, for certain muscle-car enthusiasts, there’s no beating it.

Bugatti Mistral

While most concours serve as celebrations of the past of the automobile, Las Vegas has its sights set on the future. This year’s exhibition featured a number of concepts, hypercars, and electric vehicles on display. This golden Mistral was our favorite soon-to-be classic. Although the one-of-99 convertible had its North American debut in Monterey this past August, we were happy to get another look at the V-12-powered beauty.
