Wonderful car, and close enough on the date--it's 1927. But according to its owner, the car was originally sold on the corner of Sunset Boulevard & Broadway in Los Angeles. And, Albany, the British coachbuilder, actually built 3 Airway bodies on the Lancia Lambda chassis.

It's not hard to understand the confusion, though; most of the Lancia Lambdas in the US were indeed imported from Oz.

And you certainly got it right on this year's Concorso.
