1935Packard Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 A few more. Obviously this is only a small fraction of the amazing cars at the show, but they're the ones that caught my eye the most given my interests and taste. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8E45E Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Too bad Pebble Beach won't schedule a time for ' press (or professional) photographers only' with no other spectators around. The best photo in this set is the one of the gray '31 Bentley. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig From what I can tell, there are lots of people aiming to get great pictures with no people in the background, and some going to great lengths to do so. I just didn't happen to be one of them.

alsancle Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 The judges were at that topper MB and a civilian with a camera was ordering everybody to move, including the judges, so he could get a clear shot. Would have been interesting if everyone tried that approach. a scheduled photo time is unrealistic given how condensed the time is but just as the cars are in the field before the spectators get there you can get clear shots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I sure do like to see good pictures of beautiful cars without being blocked by other people. However, I also enjoy seeing people in the backgrounds as well. In part, I like to see people enjoying a wonderful day. I also sometimes get to see people I know in the backgrounds! And I really enjoy that! Thank you for sharing the photos! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

28 Chrysler Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Can you post the video down in the "photo and video" section so it stays toward the top longer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dobbin Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Thank You 1935Packard, I enjoyed the car pictures and even the well dressed people. A welcome change from T-Shirts & Shorts at most car shows, especially the folks in period clothing. Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937hd45 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Ed, The Rolls looked great, congratulations on the award. Just a quick comparison with the 1928 down the row showed a nice upgrade with the cowl lights to fender light transition. What was the reasoning behind the free hanging rear fenders, does the frame flex that much? Just a detail I noticed. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE POLLARD Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) What's the make / model of this vehicle ? What a beauty !! Thanks for all the photos that have been posted.

1937hd45 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Steve, That is a 1909 Thomas Flyer six cylinder K 6-70 Flyabout. Besides the program everyone can get a copy of the Car Guide with the history of every car entered.There isn't enough time to see every car in detail, but it makes for great post show reading.

STEVE POLLARD Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Thanks Bob.... It reminded me of a toy Matchbox that I had as a kid.... I googled the name and it came up !

dl456 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 What is the story on the blue Auburn cabriolet in 35 Packard's post above? Runningboards and fenders? Body builder? Any more pictures? Thanks, Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Saw your question: On a RR PI the fenders are actually well bolted to pretty much everything. Many have a full inner fender incorporated too and that was to allow a one size fits all fender to be applied to many different body styles. My RR PI had maybe 15-18 bolts, including to body, splash apron, running board, and gasoline tank cover (w/no bolts into frame). And, I doubt a RR PI frame has any flex to it whatsoever. Also, while the car was made in Springfield Massachusetts, make no mistake about it a RR PI is as English as English cars come, excepting perhaps its buffalo wire wheels.

The Rolls Roadster at Pebble Beach had no bolts (or holes for them) and a finger wide gap between the rear fender and running board and splash apron, by design I'm sure, just wondered what the theory was.
