Taking you back to the 38th annual Concours with our 2016 Collectors of the Year – The Patterson Collection and the award winning collection that they shared with our audience. The Patterson Collection has been a passage of life. Jim Patterson Sr. always had a passion for cars, but what really got him into the hobby, was his son, Jim Patterson II. Jim II was always going to car shows, and it became a great father and son bonding experience. With financial success, Mr. Patterson was able to obtain the cars he loved as a child. One of the first cars of the Patterson collection was a corvette, serial number 21, in terrible condition. This was the 21st corvette made in 1953 and, most likely only one of a few left today. Another one of the Patterson’s first cars was the 300 SL Mercedes Benz.It was the car that Jim had always wanted. The Patterson’s renowned collection has won awards at every major show they have shown at, and we are proud to celebrate their incredible collection and their passion for perfection.
