1953 Buick Skylark ~ Tammy Allen Collection

Recently at the 35th Annual AACA of Venice Car Show a lovely 1953 Buick Skylark graced the show with its presence. 

I happened to catch a glimpse of the car on my drive to Centennial Park, downtown Venice Island. It truly stood out among the moving traffic, a bright shiny red convertible among the white and grey SUV’s. I’m hoping to see it again at the shows and get a photo of it. 

There it was up in the east corner of the park and even among the all those gorgeous cars it stood out. Beautifully detailed and standing there like some lovely princess. Many times over the years I have come across cars that just moved me. This though, was a very special car. 

At every car show I take photos and report on the events. I also choose to highlight a car based on its detail job and based on its being photogenic. This car was it, the “Shine of the Show”.  

In speaking to its owner, Mr. Dennis Esken a very nice gentleman, he told me this car was once part of a collection belong to heiress Tammy Allen. 

As a car buff that got my curiosity and therefore I did some research here is what I found:

Tammy Allen is indeed a car collector and this car was once part of her collection. Allen loves collecting cars, especially old-school automobiles. This beautiful car was part of her collection and was sold by auction through Barrett and Jackson.

Thank you Dennis for sharing her with me and the 12,000 attendees. She is beautiful. 

I always used wax products to get a great shine but today I recommend a you use a ceramic coating such as Cerakote Paint Sealant. I purchase all my detail products through eBay
