The Rogers Collection
For John Rogers, a lifelong passion for collector cars began at just 16 years old with the purchase of a 1959 Cadillac four-door flat-top. Over the decades, that enthusiasm has grown into an extraordinary automotive journey, with several hundred cars passing through his garage. His involvement in the concours world began in 1985, when he showed a custom 1936 LaSalle street rod at the Cincinnati Concours d’Elegance. John’s collecting philosophy has always centered on the unusual, the distinctive, and the exceptionally rare, with a particular appreciation for low-production automobiles. His collection has included everything from fabulous American cars of the 1950s to classic Jaguars and, more recently, Corvettes representing every generation of America’s sports car.
