Palm Springs Modern II

"Butterfly" homes are a Mid-Century Modern mainstay, and abound in Palm Springs and its environs.

Minichamps’ M-B 190SL and Spark’s 280SE came from MBUSA's Classic Center in Irvine, CA. Between the 1:1

cars on display (some for sale) and models available for purchase, you could easily spend a day there.

Mexican orchids in this hidden oasis make a fitting floral backdrop for the Madison’s 1956 Lincoln Premiere in Island Coral.

I'm still enamored with Minichamps' Bentley S1 Continental Flying Spur, Four-Light Saloon,

one of 20 made during the car’s nine-year run.

A top up version of Madison's '56 Lincoln in Shenandoah Green, shown here in front of the iconic Kaufman Desert House,

Richard Neutra's 1947 Palm Springs masterpiece. One of the five top home designs of the 20th century,

with one of the best '50's motorcar designs.

Hasta la vista,
