Marchioni takes you through one-of-a-kind show cars that appeared in vintage auto show programs, plus experimental prototypes that were never meant for production.

Expect bold ideas, hidden stories and engineering experiments that rarely leave manufacturers' studios and labs. The talk runs until 7:45 p.m. Tickets are free.
