Here is a pic of it at Willow Springs in '55.
Chasing Dick Morgensen in his Morgensen Special ( the car that became famous as "Ol' Yeller" later on, when Max Balchowski owned it...)

 

Can't wait! Its always good to look at stuff we'll never see especially more so over here.

 

Come on Dave, more pictures please. I've seen you take more pictures on a Thursday night at Big Dog.

Your

 

Its a Brookville Body

Deuce Factory Rails

And a crate Chevy

Oh....and yours for a mere $125,000!!

 

Just home Brian....editing now!!

 

Penfifteen - That roadster was about a two year old build (it had two LA roadster show plaques on the inner firewall, along with a SoCal decal). It was Brookville steel and what I would call basic - nice, but nothing original jumping out at you. The asking price was $125k.

 

Awesome pics.

How cool is this Alfa 33...

 

OK...heres some more!!





1956 Ferrari 250GT Boano Cabriolet...1 of 1.. Purchased from Enzo Ferrari in 1956...One owner from new!












Needs no introduction....








Just how cool is this tail lamp?




I'm off to bed.....still got almost another 100 or so to do!!

 

Sleep well, you have 100 photos to post tomorrow!

 

That wasn't on the lawn was it???

 

Hell no!!

It was on in one of the sales tents!

 

Dave, what's this? Aside from the "duck" I love it!

Is there an official Pebble Beach concourse website at all?

 

Blimey....I dunno.....I thought you would have recognised it!!

1932 Bucciali TAV V12 Saoutchik Berline.... according to the program!

WOW! Not often do you see a Rolls-Royce that looks racy. The gray Michalin tires are a real nice feature.

 

Thanks... I was wrecking my brain over that one.

And I only sort of remembered it because I read an article once about a guy building a replica...

 

Thanks Dave....oddly, I was just speaking to a panelbeater mate...I described the car and he picked the name straight away...truly a freak!

Supposedly, (so he says) they were a reasonably "undercooked" car....great ideas, but possibly short on development, so they weren't too reliable.

I don't care...I'd have it if I could!

 

Still got a bunch more to edit!! Bear with me....

 

got a bunch too, and some hi def video. Will get to it in a couple of days.

Sorry I didnt hook up with anyone, or get any inside party invites out... but it was a busy weekend. Writing up 6 stories and 2 video reviews, lots to do.

pics to come.
