Here are just a few of my favourites:
Jaguar E-Type
1968 Lotus F1 Race Car
1965 Shelby Cobra
1959 Austin Healey 3000 Mk1
I literally took over 400 photos of about 150 cars that were in town today at the 2014 Concours d'elegance at Cobble Beach, a golf course here in town. It is an international level car show that draws in competitors from all around the world.
Last years winner was a 1928 Isotta and this years car of show has not yet been announced. Each year you are not allowed to bring back the same car as the year before (actually its within 4 years). Which means it has different cars every year.
A quick list of some of the cars I saw:
2014 Lamborghini aventador
2014 Pagani Huayra
2014 McLaren 650S
4 different Jaguar E-Types
1903 Colubus Electric Car
1867 Henry Seth Taylor Steam Buggy
1964 Porsche 356 SC Couple
1963 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster
To put the atmosphere into perspective, most of the cars were worth well over 100, 000, many of them well over 1 million dollars. Many of the owners had canes, tweed coats, and pipes/cigars. They arrived via helicopter, or yacht. Their wives had fur coats and the most pompous hats I have ever seen. While we viewed the cars, we were played classical music. To attend the event your car must be INVITED by the directors of the show.
