1937 AC 16/80 Navigation
AC Cars is one of the oldest car makers founded in Britain. The company made 15 'Sloping Tail Competition Sports' cars between 1937 and 1939, and this was the first. The aluminum body was designed by Goodwood's Freddie March, Earl of Richmond, and the car appeared on the AC stand at the London Motor Show in 1937.
This AC has several unique features including sloping B pillars, an engine-turned dash, larger carburetors, and an oil temperature gauge. The car also has manually controlled hydraulic shock absorbers, a built-in jacking system, and a 2.0-liter overhead-cam engine capable of 85 mph. Following restoration and the notable admiration of HRH Prince Michael of Kent at the London Concours in 2019, this AC was imported to the United States.
