Event Coverage Pebble Beach '09 ***PICS***

That Veedol decal is awesome !

 

Thought you would like that one Alex

 

Pardon me, do you have any grey Poo-Poo?

 

It makes me laugh when I see comments like this....yeah, the rich folk are very obviously in evedience at the show, and you can buy a $500 bottle of Champagne there if you like, but...the majority of people there are regular car guys like you & me....

The guy that owns this stunning 1928 Daimler Double Six 50 also drives a 900hp Challenger

 

you don't know who Sammy Hagar is?? played with Montrose in the 70's.. solo after that and sang for Van Halen for a couple years til eddie became an ass. likes red shoes

great slide show. those old cars are works of art.

 

Great job Dave, thanks for posting. I think the photos this year were especially spectacular.

 

Thanks Mike, the sun was actually in & out this year, last year it was very overcast all day

 

As usual Great pics Dave!

If you need a "caddie" to lug your camera equipment around on the links next year,I'm your guy!

 

Great pics... you must have a lot of patience. All the ones I took had somebody walking through frame.

The Bugatti Type 51 is the most beautiful car. It is not to be beleved in person. I highly reccomend heading to Monterey for Pebble Beach and the Historics at least once. It's a little pricey but you won't be disappointed.

 

wow, great pics and nice showing this year

 

Take a number & join the line...I actually have an assistant there every year...same guy

 

Thanks for the killer photos, Dave!

 

THX Dave! Great pictures, quite the gathering. It reminds me of something....
I'm broke, & I did something wrong.

 

Right there with ya man....

 

Yeah ... I saw your shot of that Buick in the parking lot ... and was gonna razz you about it ... but decided against it - just in case it was a owned, "built", and/or painted by a fellow HAMBer ... I really didn't want to turn this into a "Drama Thread".

... now pass the Grey Poupon

What? You don't like my blue striped pants and red shoes? They told me it the latest thing at my haberdashery. Anyway, it's funny that you got some pics of cars I missed and I think I have a few you don't have. Too bad the sun went away at the end of the day as that is some great lighting. Great shots, Dave. Much better than mine. I just get too excited. There was some kind of a custom Zephyr looking thing that drove across the grass at the end of the day and I didn't get anything but a quick glimpse of it. Possibly a convertible?

 

Thanks for the picture show.

 

I will take the 57 berlinetta with the double hump roof.. but the spyder is looking good also..

 

Yeah...The Zagato Berlinetta was mega cool...that roof was amazing, but the California Spyder is still my fave

 

Thanks for the great pics. One of those "must do's" I just love those "blower" Bentleys

 

Excellent Pictorial Thanx a LOT !!

Klaz

 

Great coverage Dave.

But I need to know how you can remember all those names. Coupe, roadster and sedan confuses me!

 

Its a case of...Photograph car, photograph accompanying entry info sheet & repeat...a lot, then open up Flickr in 2 windows, one with car one with info sheet...and lots of typing!!

 

You do a amazing job Dave, thank you !

 

Well the '53 Cunningham C-3 and the '39 Mercedes-Benz W154 Grand Prix did it for me. Thanks for the pics. I gotta make it out there one day.
