I really like that Pierce coupe of yours AJ. 

Not mine John. Currently in the Pierce Arrow museum at the Gilmore.

 

A last minute favor for a friend.

Here's a photo of one of the Pebble Beach Best of Show finalists, the 1937 Bugatti Type 57S, taken the day before the Tour d'Elegance, "in the wild."  I was walking on Asilomar Ave., a residential street near the seashore in Pacific Grove, heard an unusual engine sound, and was able to get this shot of the car, likely on a test drive before the Tour.  

 

My Monterey Car Week experience this year was at more plebeian events (Classic Motorsports Cruise-In, the Little Car Show, Rotary Rally, etc.) that bring in lots of interesting sub-classic, sub-exotic cars, mostly from Northern California.  Still had a blast!  We were driving a Volvo 1800E, not only in the Monterey area, but for the 400 mile roundtrip from home.  Maybe next year the non-Pebble Beach events can have their own thread here.

Ed was running the exhaust open.

Thanks for the explanation A.J. It makes sense that Ed would be making as much noise as possible! (LOL)

That was a very nice Bugatti, the Corsica body was installed in England, that is why it has Lucas fender lights and windshield knobs that look British. . Bob

On the field………530 AM. 

Ed,

We have been talking a lot about the 1930 Pierce I just bought.

What I am trying to figure out is which one is you in all of these pictures

I'd like to put a face to the voice.

 Thanks Ed.

The next thing we need to do is actually, somehow, meet up in person

I’m certain we will.........when I’m in the neighborhood I’ll stop by, should be in the next 90 days......or at Hershey.

There is a fair amount of driving during Car Week, fairly nice neighborhood. We went whale watching this year, everyone should go once. Bob

Shots from early Sunday and the shuttle bus that took us to the field and back again when we left for the day. Turn right at the take a part for the week Mercedes Benz building. We got there early and the first lot was not filled. When it is full you drive out to 17 mile Drive and park on the ocean side and the busses collect you there.

Bob,  when we do our "how to" thread next year you need to tell us how the parking & shuttle works for the regular guys.  

 

I was trying to give advice to friends and I had no idea how to do it.

I have no clue how the shuttle functions............but it would be good general knowledge just for getting around on show day.........

Sure, but first a Thank You is in order to the entire staff and all the workers that make Pebble Beach happen. On Sunday just drive to the right of the Mercedes Benz portable building, the lots next to it are for reservations only, no big deal, just keep driving. If all the lots are full then continue on until you can park on the coast line. The bus will make the same loop all day and pickup and deliver people.
