Concours on the Avenue 2012 photos

I spent the day in the Monterey area.  We spent the morning gawking at cars in Carmel.  Then it was a gigantic and tasty lunch at Phil's Fish Market at Moss Landing.  We followed that with Automobilia.  What piqued my interest at the memorabilia show was a one-page, double-sided, color brochure from a Dutch dealership for the Maserati Quattroporte II.  On the reverse side, it had the car's specs in English, French, and Italian.  Alas, at $80, it was too rich for my blood.

This is the walk from our car to the show.  First, a shark for Shark Week.

A Morgan with lots of patina.

One is not like the other.

We have a neighbour with twin V8s in his rod, but they're not side by side.
