Our car club had an outing and concours yesterday at a country inn in Hopewell Junction, NY. A one-hour drive from Stamford. Took the Alfa and entered in the concours. It ran fine to and from at speeds up to almost 80 mph. A member asked me what car I brought and I told him the Alfa Spider. He told me it was "very original", i.e. paint nicks and all. Most of the other 16 cars were pristine and immaculate including a 1955 Buick that had been in the family since new, a 1967 Corvair Corsa hardtop, 2 Rolls Convertibles (one of which I voted as best in show), two DB4 Aston Martins, two Ferraris, two Maseratis, a Jaguar F car, a Bentley sedan, Porsche Boxster, Porsche 911, a Mustang, an AMG Mercedes convertible and one or two more I can't recall. Also there was Chuck Schoendorf's Cunningham C3 coupe (not entered in the concours), a well-known car around these parts. No LBCs as we understand the term, unless you count the Astons, but one of them did win First Prize as best in show. The steak or salmon dinner was delicious. This inn had been taken over last year by 6 sisters, all of whom waited on us. We wished them the best of luck. Do you consider an Aston Martin - even a DB2, DB4 or DBS, an LBC? How about a McLaren?
