Hot Rods at Pebble Beach 2005

Hey There
Just got back from Pebble Beach, and wanted to post the winner of the Hot Rod Group. The Calori Coupe took home the #1 spot. Also the Dean Batchlor award, for exellence.

This makes all the long hours worth it!
Enjoy the pics
One pic of the Car
The grey cat in the other is Jack Calori himself, 83 years young

 

You take out a loan to get in....or did they take your first born?

Who won the flamethrowing contest?

 

it's been 20 years since the last (and only) time i went to Pebble beach.

now they want $150 to get in

it really isn't about cars,never was.
any chance that car will be at a show i can afford?

 

Any pics of the other customs that were there?

Thank you so much for posting this restored Calori Ford. I have been looking foreward to see it finished for a long time. And it is fantastic.

Do you have more photo's of the other custom cars at the concours. Like the Ralph Jilek 40 Ford etc.

 

Hollenbeck? That in the pic lead me to believe you are Daryll?

 

Thanks for posting the photos, I just read the list of winners on another website. The '36 looks great!

 

Too rich for my blood- but oh whatta car. Good job.

 

Yep it was pricey but worth it every two years,
and yep I am Darryl, in the photo left to right

As far as the other cars, I will see what photos I have, I do have video of them all, I will see about photos
The Calori Coupe and the Valley Custom 40 will be at Pleasanton this weekend (Good guys show) from there I am pretty sure the Calori is going to Peterson Museum
Later

Yeah, cant hide that mug! Welcome to the HAMB, thanks for the pics, now we want more!

 

Very cool to see fresh pics of the Calori Ford. Thanks.

 

Darryl,
I heard about the restoration & purchase of this car from Don Orozco.
Jack,also owned a mighty fine 29 A-bone rdstr. Wonder where that's at?
A few weeks back I was @ Jim Lattins working on a deal & these wheels covers came up, n.o.s.-still in the boxes,He said that he was looking for Bill G's ph#, Told him to call Roy Boy. Looking to put a $ figure on those covers.
I guess he got ahold you guys! I remember back several years ago when you were doing the ACME body shop thing,then I read that you married a Brizio.
Not Roy though,even though that's So. San Francisco =.
Jorge is just getting all kinds of cool resto's done, Also saw the Hemified 34 3-W. last year while it was being built.(haven't seen it done yet though).
You do great paint work good luck with the car @ Pleasant-stone
Job #1=Well Done!!!!!

What a shame to store a car that screams "DRIVE ME!". Damn nice work, though.

 

My buddy Bryant works for a shop here in Phx. that works on old, exotic cars. They do a lot of work for folks like Barret Jackson and the Imperial Palace. Right now he is working at Pebble Beach.

I was at another freind's house on Saturday afternoon when Bryant called on the phone. He said "Guess what I'n doing right now? I'm sitting in the Jack Calori coupe and I'm talking to Jack Calori!". Bastard!

 

Nice to finally see the finished car.Congratulations to the award and the wonderful restoration.I hope we will see many more pics.

 

any more of those photos coming?

 

looks more like a sled then a hotrod...... just my two cents...

 

Thanks for pics!!! I hope we will see more.

 

Another great one saved. Nice job. Fordnutz.

Here is a shot of the finished Coupe
He has quite a collection going with more to come

 

Daryll,
Thanks for the pic of the coupe, went over to your website & saw it there first (re: the Sam Barris Merc) You guys did a ,wonderful job it. Are you working out of Roy's shop or did you get another place? I seem to remember hearing that you were part of "TEAM BRIZIO".
How is the Damien Roadster coming out?
I have the orignial chassis out from under that. Last time that I saw that one-she had been repaired pretty badly.When Mumford bought it along with the BB truck, it was supposed to be a good bod. I guess Damien talked John into selling him the roadster cuz with all the paint on it she looked good for a late 70's early 80's amature resto job.
That just goes to show ya what a lot filler, primer & paint will do.
Keep up the great work.
Kevin

 

I have a few of the customs and a couple of a Rolls that was bodied in Belguim in 1925.

last rolls pic

 

Wow!

 

This Rolls is bitchin', I can't help but think of what a bitchin' mega buck rod you could build designed on the lines of this thing.

 

Best I have been able to find this is the company that bodied the car in 1925

They now appear to only body tour busses.

There is a bit more info.

We just stood and stared at this car.. Can you imagine driving down the road in this car in the mid 20's? We thought that it would have been a great design for a Bat-mobile!
