The winner of the 2025 Classic Motorshow’s Owners’ Gem vote is a 1961 Dodge Dart Seneca owned by Julia Lila from Helsinki.
Earlier in the year, private individuals were invited to enter their beloved classic vehicles into the Owners’ Gem competition. From those submissions, ten finalists were chosen through an online vote and showcased at the exhibition. Among these, visitors cast a total of 1,875 votes, with Lila’s Dodge Dart Seneca receiving 375 of them.
Lila’s winning car represents early 1960s American design, combining futuristic lines with the iconic tailfins of the era. Julia Lila says she had long dreamed of owning a well-preserved classic car that would capture the spirit of the 1950s and offer relaxing summer drives. The Dodge Dart Seneca perfectly matched her vision and has also brought her into a warm community and lasting friendships through the car hobby.
Second place in the Owners’ Gem vote went to the 1975 Ford Escort Mk1, owned by Esa-Pekka Saarinen and Jarkko Lapinsalo from Kuusankoski. Third place was claimed by Markku Viitanen from Porvoo with his 1907 Cadillac Model K.
