Question of the Week: What’s Your Favorite “Hidden Gem” Auto Museum?—WINNER’S UPDATE You Should Know

WINNER’S ANNOUNCEMENT:

We’re back to announce the winner for our Question of the Week, where our winner will receive their laurels in the form of a $25 credit for a hat or T-shirt from the BaT Gear Store.

This week, we asked: What’s your ultimate Goodwood ride?

Thanks to everyone who weighed in! We put on our best tweed newsboy cap, tucked in our ascot, and went to work reading your comments. In the end, Duncan Pitway’s “Beast of Turin” stole the show this week, which makes @70_duster the winning commenter:

“As exciting as the new stuff is, my heart always goes to something vintage. The coolest in my opinion would be the 28 Litre Fiat S76.

WINNER’S ANNOUNCEMENT:

We’re back to announce the winner for our Question of the Week, where our victor will accept a $25 credit for a hat or T-shirt from the BaT Gear Store and the acclaim of their peers.

We mentioned that if you could justify it, going for a contrarian pick was a viable choice for our question this week, which was: What’s your favorite “city car?”

You staked your claim for a nice variety of “city cars.” The iconic Fiat 500 received the highest number of mentions, though it was used as an example in our original post. That means that this week, we’re exercising our Editorial Privilege and awarding the prize to the nomination that stood out to us the most. And that came from @mr3000, who put forward the Honda City Turbo II and Motocompo combo:

“Honda City Turbo II. It’s in the name and they are frequently paired with a motocompo”

Our question this week was: What’s the coolest art car?

Thanks to everyone who chimed in! These kinds of questions typically invite perspectives from across the BaT community, and your responses certainly ran the gamut. Of course, we’re not the kind of art snobs who tell you what you should like, so this week’s winner goes to the nomination with the most likes—our People’s Choice! And that was from @IsAlwaystheAnswer, who nominated Janis Joplin’s hand-painted Porsche 356:

“Janis Joplin’s 1964 Porsche 356C her roadie, Dave Richards, painted it with a psychedelic mural called “The History of the Universe,” it is a rolling symbol of 1960s counterculture and individuality. It is art and a car. https://rmsothebys.com/auctions/ny15/lots/r105-1964-porsche-356-c-1600-sc-cabriolet-by-reutter/“
