Wow - Pebble Beach Cars

[AngliaGT]

I ran accross a Porsche 356 owner in our part of town.
Had a "Pebble Beach" logo on the side of his car.He told me where they were staying in our town.
I went down to see for myself....& WOW,one incredible car after another.There was -
A Hispanso Suissa (sp),a Marmon,Delahaye,a Lincloln V12,
a couple of Pirece Arrows,an interesting Ferrari (250) variation,a 250 coupe,an incredible 250 Lusso,a Chrysler Ghia coupe (the owner left the key in it - tempting!),an early
Rolls Royce (LHD - Springfield built?),plus a couple of others.
The pictures are still in the camera - I'm waiting until my Wife comes home so I can have her download it.
These cars are headed to Pebble Beach,& I was SO fortunate to be able to view them.

Around here, the only place you'd see rare cars like those all in one place would be a museum! That woulda made my day!

I hope you got photos.

All parking lots should look like that.

Doug's computer photo illiterate?

Lovely! And what I really like is obviously, they are being driven somewhere (rather than trailered).

Also, nice Gullwing. That yellow Corvette looks so out-of-place in these shots.

Those regular 250 Ferraris (below) used to be fairly unloved. Around '72, I worked in a place in Lakewood, NJ where the owner got <span style="text-decoration: underline">two</span> of them real cheap (each was semi-wrecked but rebuildable). He cut each car in half and welded the "good" frames together and made a front-engine, V12 sports racer with an aluminum body. I recall going to Lime Rock with it on a test day. It made great sounds!

We dumped the "bad halves" of the frames and both bodies in the scrap yard. Today, those pieces would be worth thousands $!

Don,

Yes I am!

Nial,

They looked much nicer in person.The photographer doesn't
do very good work..... but he works cheaply.
