Sports Custom class at Pebble Beach

They started a new class this year at Pebble Beach. There were some nice entries and a few bizarre.




Original flatty.

Bob Hope's at once.



They do a street show on Tuesday called the "Carmel Concours". It is a free street show. Pretty good cars there.


Plymouth 1933 ?


Owned by the same guy since 1957



Meanwhile over at Bonhams


At the jet center



Maybe more later....

 

I can never get enough of Cole's 3 window. Thing's beautiful. The orange and black roadster in the picture above it is pretty awesome as well.

 

Sweet stuff!

 

split windshields give me wood.

 

Great pics!

 

Beautiful cars! Thanks for posting!!

 

Hey Somer, thanks for posting....who won the hot rod/custom class?

 

Class U: American Sport Customs

1st 1948 Norman Timbs Emil Diedt Roadster, Gary & Diane Cerveny, Malibu

2nd 1947 Vince Gardner Studebaker “Bubble Top” Roadster, John N. Allen, Naples, Florida

3rd 1939 Paul Planette Coachcraft Mercury Roadster, Derby & Paula Ahlstone, Ventura

 

If I remember right it was built by Terry Cook. It is beautiful in person.

 

The Bob Hope car, looks like Bob Hope.

 

Good job Gary and Diane !!! Geoff too...

 

Asphalt Outlaw Hero, I owned a specialty Body shop doing metal straightening and lead work. I worked on a number of Pebble Beach cars. Good folks to work for. They don't mind paying money in return for perfection. Gee, I miss it already, heehee! The show is the best of the best. Thanks for the post. What's a Dixie boy doing at Pebble Beach?

" You only got shot at me, and then, I was looking in my rearview mirror "

 

Great Pictures, looks like a good turnout of cars and you went to afew of the different events. Did you go to the Quail?? Would love to see more...Alan

 

That black and orange thing is awesome. Why don't more cars have wheel pants?

 

This Dixie Boy is a judge in the motorcycle class. I write for 3-4 magazines too. I use to be stationed near there so it is always fun to go back. Some of the coolest cars/bikes in the world show up at the different shows there. There is a lot of free shows too if you look around.

 

,,,not as much as this one does.

 

This '28 Nash Speedster with a 6cyl Chevy posted and sold here on HAMB recently....I'm still kicking myself in the ass for not buying it. I believe it sold for way under $30k and was full of beautiful custom made parts.

 

A few pics I took...

 

A few more...

 

And the best shot of the day goes to...

 

Cool photos!

 

I wonder if anyone knows who owned it?

if only there was a detailed thread showing its build......

Anyway, I hope Kurt gets a ride his daughter loves

 

nevermind I believe a t-bird came his way, plenty of passenger room

 

I can't tell if I have a wife-induced headache right now or if you just hit me over the head with the Sledgehammer of Sarcasm.

 

Newbies..................

 

Thanks for the coverage. Talked to Rocky tonight, he just got back from there.

 

car is almost as ugly, but not quite.

 

Nice Glasspar G2.

 

I don't care what the front side of that blonde looks like, her dog better get those god damned feet off the paint unless it wants to be tossed in a Vietnamese restaurant's to-cook pile.

 

I didn't see any photos of the Cunningham... Was it in this class? Very cool car.
