San Marino Motor Classic 2018- A terrific show and venue!

ClassicPromenade — Tue, 17 Jul 2018 23:37:23 +0000

I was asked by the Chief Judge of the San Marino Motor Classic to be the chief class judge for the American Classic Open class. It just so happens that not only is it always one of the more difficult classes to judge, it was also the largest class in terms of the number of cars being judged. It ended up being a gorgeous day, lots of work judging, but well worth the effort!!

Pebble Beach Concours Tour d’Elegance in a Rolls-Royce

ClassicPromenade — Thu, 02 Jan 2014 19:59:26 +0000

I had forgotten to post a blog about the incredible tour Heather and I had at Pebble Beach this last year (2013). Our friend, John Ellison, had his delightful Phantom V Rolls-Royce State Landaulet entered into the Pebble Beach concours and we were invited to tour in the car on the Thursday before the concours.

The Tour d’Elegance is the most fun part of the entire Pebble Beach weekend. It is roughly 60 miles long through some of the most wonder sites in the world: 17 Mile Drive, the Laguna Seca Raceway, downtown Carmel and Big Sur!!

I’ve been fortunate to be in the Tour about six or seven times over the last 15 years. This was particularly fun because the Phantom V was one of only a handful made over eight years. To buy one new you had to be the ruler of a country. The only other PV State Landaulet ever at Pebble was exhibited by me. So this was especially meaningful for me!

Private Tours of Only Yesterday and John Ellison’s Collection!

ClassicPromenade — Thu, 02 Jan 2014 19:43:42 +0000

We had the opportunity a couple days after Christmas to tour two of San Diego’s best collections. Check Speilman’s wonderful collection at Only Yesterday was a delight to see (photos not allowed). He has three sections to his collection, the 50’s and 60’s convertibles in a very cool shop setting, then an elegant 1930’s classic car showroom with gorgeous CCCA classics (think Duesy, Packard, Lincolns, etc.) and then a very important military history museum. We loved the tour and it is always a pleasure to see Chuck.

Next we drove 15 minutes to John Ellison’s collection. Here we saw about 40 gorgeous Rolls-Royce’s, Bentley’s and Cadillac’s along with several very cool 50’s and 60’s convertibles. Both Chuck and John are dear friends and are as gracious as you will find. If you ever have an opportunity to see their collections don’t hesitate!
