Design, Heritage, and the Drive to Win
In a world where beauty often fades, Lee and Penny Anderson continue to prove that true elegance only deepens with time. At the 2025 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the Andersons claimed their second Best of Show title—this time with the extraordinary 1924 Hispano-Suiza H6C Nieuport-Astra Torpedo, a gleaming embodiment of pre-war artistry and aviation-inspired design. Crafted by Nieuport-Astra with a polished aluminum body that echoes the spirit of early flight, the Hispano-Suiza is more than a car—it’s a sculpture in motion. Restored with the Andersons’ signature reverence for heritage and detail, it captivated judges and enthusiasts alike, standing as a testament to their enduring passion for preservation and storytelling.
But this win is not an isolated triumph—it’s part of a larger narrative the Andersons have been quietly shaping for years. At Villa Korta Katarina & Winery, their Relais & Châteaux estate on Croatia’s Pelješac Peninsula, they’ve undertaken a meticulous architectural restoration that mirrors the same devotion to craftsmanship. Once a forgotten waterfront hotel, the property has been reborn as a sanctuary of design-forward luxury, where limestone walls, Adriatic breezes, and Plavac Mali vines converge in poetic harmony.
Whether restoring a Hispano-Suiza or reviving a historic villa, Lee and Penny Anderson remind us that true luxury lies in the details—and that timeless design, when paired with heart, always wins.
Congratulations to the Andersons on this extraordinary achievement. Your vision continues to inspire.
