Among the most exquisite cars in display at Pebble Beach I finally got to see a drive able version of a color shape.

There is no way I could go to Pebble Beach without playing. Sweet pictures though and some really nice cars. Also that is the new NSX right?

Thank you for sharing! Those are some truly incredible cars. What's most incredible, is how they are able to keep it in true show car condition after all these years, especially in the "original, unrestored" category.

I think I would have to spend a few weeks in Monterrey, that way I could enjoy the Concours D'Elegance and play Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill, Spanish Bay, and so on!

I know I'm reviving an old thread here but I made it to Pebble Beach as well and found a few cars not pictured here I thought I might share, though from the Quail Motorsports Gathering the day before the concours.

Ferrari race car

And the custom made Ferrari for the street to match the race car

1919 La Bestioni Beast (this thing was HUGE)

Lamborghini Veneno

Stingray Corvette

Me sitting in the Pagani checking it out for a while

Last of them, me after my Bentley Continental GT Speed test drive.

Excellent pictures all the way around...

The "custom" Ferrari is the P4/5. The race car was built after that. Both or based on the Enzo. Ironically, the owner of those car's and I got into a lengthy debate on detailing. As you can see by the finish of the paint, he clearly doesn't know what he is talking about.

Interesting collection of cars...

pretty amazing how much disposable income some people have to invest in something they just enjoy.

That's funny! I was kind of surprised to see a car in that show with its paint in the condition that the Ferrari was in.

With all the nice cars there I completely forgot to get a picture of the new BMW M4 they unveiled, the one and only BMW at the show.

There are a lot of great cars with terrible paint conditions.

I'm finding that out real quickly. I just joined the PCA and went to a cars and coffee meetup and only 1 car there had a nice finish on the paint, the rest were swirled up and the older ones were a bit faded and in need of some buffer love. Until I correct my car though I have no room to talk as mine has a nice Cobalt Swirl Blue paint job.

Luckily there are plenty of people who do care, but most are clueless and like to remain that way (regardless of income level and/or vehicle type).
