More info on the 1955 Keller car at Meadow Brook.
The Keller car won the best in it's class out of 18 cars ( the class was
"The American Classic Award- Convertible and Luxury"), and one of the big
awards as well. The Keller Car also won "Most Significant Chrysler" of the
2002 Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance. This is the first time a post war
car has ever won this award.
