    After our team of industry professionals carried out the requested repairs and detailing work to this magnificent American Classic vehicle, the Dream Cars UK team entered it into the Cartier Style Et Luxe competition hosted at Goodwood Festival Of Speed 2021.

    This competition, now in its 23rd year, is a place where creatives and passionate connoisseurs of automotives come together to judge a select group of rare, and unique vehicles.

    “This is a celebration of fine automotive design where the diverse vehicles presented always manage to create amazement,” said Laurent Feniou, the managing director at Cartier.

    It should be clear to see that this type of competition somewhere Tornado Automotives would dream of participating, so when we heard that Dream Cars UK had entered their 53 Oldsmobile Fiesta into the prestigious Americana category we were very excited. With competing entries such as Buick, Cadillac, Continental, and Packard, this class was filled with examples of the very best of 1950s Americana Classic Cars. When all was said and done, it was the very same 1953 Oldsmobile Fiesta that we had undertaken a labour of love over that got the approval of the judges, and it was awarded Best In Class in the Americana category.
