Saratoga, CA car show today...

[JeffKeryk]

Little bit of everything. If course being Saratoga, lots of Ferraris and other exotics. Here's my favorites today. The 63 Riv was stunning, the Dino was perfect, but perhaps my favorites were the Speedsters.

And what's a cool great show without a cool Packard?

 

[fantastic]

Awesome!

Man those Dinos were snubbed by "real Ferrari" owners for years and not worth much of anything. How times have changed. Were there any classic Rolls Royce's or Bentleys?

Looks like a great day! Sunshine on all those fine bodies. I bet someone will say, Yeah & the cars too ........
What is that first big black one? A Buick Riviera? I am thinking Buick with that front end.
I really like that tall standing Orange Crate "gasser" race car. Bet that is one of those "hang on for your life!" going down the tracks machines! Its probably just for show these days. The last one has $$$$ all over it. Did you get a chance to see what that one was? I know there are some Packards that occasionally turn up at car shows. Could that be a Duesenberg? It just looks like big time money in the bank! A beauty from the front.

 

[daves87rs]

Very cool!

 

[joekingcorvette]

Very nice! I love car shows.

 

[GMBoy]

Beautiful show! I gotta say I am amazed Kalifornia even still allows those cars on the road as crazy as it is.

 

[slo town]

Wish I'd known about that. I have to be up there tomorrow afternoon. I could have easily come up this morning and stayed at The Oaks tonight.

We could have met each other, Jeff!

Edit: And BTW, the weather looks like its perfect self.

I didn't see any and the show is pretty small, just downtown Saratoga. The crowd loved the Dino; it got way more than its share of attention.

It's a 63 Riviera. The last one was a Packard. It was hard to get pics with all the people, and we got there right after it started.

The weather cooled off this weekend; low 80's up to about noon. Great for walking.

They do this show very well. As you know, there isn't any parking in downtown Saratoga. They shuttle you in from West Valley College. Easy peasey.

 

[JeffKeryk]

Lotta Mustangs and 67 Chevelles. Corvettes well represented.
A pair if split window 63's:

2 1st gen; a 54 and 57

An early Turbo 911, next to a hot little red Italian beauty!

Who doesn't love a gorgeous no-post 65 Goat with a 4 speed and trips?

 

[JeffKeryk]

Impossible to get a clear pic of this Merc!

 

[demarpaint]

Nice!

 

[slo town]

That Goat!! Only thing I'd do is lower it a half inch. I'm not talking about slamming it, which would ruin it. (As an aside, my Dad had a 1965 Pontiac Grand Prix 389 with dealer installed Tri-Power.)

Big mistake polishing or chroming those wheels on that 911 Turbo. I'd undo that the very next day if it were mine. Tires look suspect too. They look like off brand all seasons.

Did you see any Healey 3000s there?

I met my wife, Sue, in the crosswalk walking on to West Valley campus one morning. We liked each other the instant we laid eyes on each other. I'll never forget how she looked over and smiled at me. Our 47th wedding anniversary is August 6th. And within a week, on literally our second date, I took her to Laguna Seca for the races.

3000's, Bugeyes, MGAs and others. Lotus was well represented. I don't know the newer ones, but they were crazy!
Oh yeah, the Yenko 69 Camaro was showroom condition.

 

[JeffKeryk]

Jaguars! I absolutely hate these cars, because I am just stupid enough to buy one... One of the most beautiful cars ever. Freakin' love those spokes!

You're killing me Jeff! E-Types make my heart flutter!

You gotta love their inboard rear disks and fully stressed half shafts!

We have the best cars. Yesterday there was a V-Dub show in San Juan Bautista.
Here's last year's show. All locals.
