Event Coverage Pebble Beach 2008 pics

and a pic from Concours Italiano...



Looks like the So Cal roadster

Melissa's reaction to getting up **** early on Sunday to get out on the green.





Likely the most important custom ever, the Buick Y Job.


1959 Indy Roadster. Owner said it was a handfull at 150 mph and he couldnt imagine driving it faster, although they did back in the day.

 

Buick 2 seat Roadster




Buick Centurian



Buick LeSabre

 

Thanks!

 

Woodies !!!

Buick


A LaSalle woody? Who knew. Ordered new by the widow of one of the Dodge Bros. and used at the Meadowbrook estate outside Detroit.


If LaSalle had a woody, it stands to reason the Caddy had one also.





While we are talking Caddy, here is a 1961 Cadillac Pininfarina Brougham. Custom bodywork by Pininfarina.

 

thanks for posting the pics ... keep 'em coming!

 

Thanks for those! Got any more?

 

Thanks for posting. I'm sorry I missed it this year.

A couple of questions;

Did you get shots of Shirley's Alfa?

Did you make it to Laguna Seca?

Thank you.

How would one go about finding out what year each dream car was built? Would be pretty interesting to know how far ahead of production some ideas were tried out.

 

Unfortunately I didnt do either. I was taking pics for a publication, so I concentrated on traditional styling at Pebble

Didnt go to Laguna, I took Saturday "off" and relaxed. Had an event to go to Sat. night so I rested up.

 

Thanks so much for posting these.

 

A Rolls Royce Merlin powered special

 

A Caddy V16 ch***is. This is how you would get it from Caddy and then take it to your coachbuilder. A true custom. Order up the basis of your car, then have the body commissioned.

The current owners drove this on the Pebble Beach Tour, about 60 miles up and down some pretty twisty roads. They had a blast.



Look at the distributor!!!


2 tiny carbs feed this beast.

 

You think your 6 volt headlights are dim, check these acetylene lights.



Another pic from Concourso Italiano... crazy metalflake on a dune buggy.

 

I looked for ya....didn't see ya tho!

Nice stuff, check out mine elsewhere!

 

we were in early, out early. We left at about 1:30pm after showing up at 5am.

 

man... how do you remember the firing order of a V16?

good stuff... got more?

 

Wow, thanks for the pics!

That Rolls Royce special is something else. Sorta the great-great-grandfather of Papagallo's vehicle from "Road Warrior".

 

Never saw the Lasabre with a top on it before - sure does look strange.

Sure would be great to see that stuff in-person. Really got to make it out there some year.

Thanks for the pics

 

Damn pics wouldn't upload on my Mac ... had to use my Windows XP box ...

 

Wouldn't this interior look great in a 60's style Model A coupe???

 

Thanks, First full side view I've seen of the car, stunning!

 

Thanks for posting.

 

Chop top
Just a question, do you know the owner of this Lasalle six doors woodie? i found a Cady 1946 six doors woodie, just two were made that year one for the cowboy star Jim Audrey and the second one for a Mexican Expresident. i willapreciate your help.
Regards form mex

Hum

 

Outstanding pictures!

 

Every year, when this show rolls around, I kick myself for living on the wrong coast. Wonderful photos. Can't remember seeing the Y-Job with the top up. So much work to build the Rolls Royce engined monster, and really it's very awkward looking.
Thanks for getting up early and posting. This old guy in GA appreciates it.

 

Love the concept cars and the futureliner...thanks for the pix!

Love this brake scoop! All fixed on to the stub axle I guess.

 

I'll find the name and see if I can get you some contact info.
