The heart of Corinthian Vintage Auto Racing isn’t just the racing—it’s the cars themselves and the stories behind them. The Cars are the Stars is an ongoing collection of features written by our drivers and owners, showcasing the machines that make vintage racing so special.

From long-built legends to newly prepped contenders, each entry highlights the history, character, and passion behind the cars that fill our paddock and bring our events to life.

Every car has a story to tell. We’d love to include it. Submit your story and photos and be part of celebrating the spirit, craftsmanship, and excitement that define CVAR.
