Some things that caught my eye at the Rodeo Dr Concours yesterday

Packard Pinin Farina, 1952  full gallery from the 2013 LaJolla Concours http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/04/1952-packard-2-dr-fastback-design-by.html

"Built especially for Robert Montgomery by Fleetwood"

The Johnckeere Rolls Royce http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/Jonckheere%20Rolls

how many hinges do you think a Pagani has? a half dozen? more?

the Mercedes Benz at Rodeo Dr looks great, I wonder if that's a factory color or aftermarket

as cheeseball corny as it is, this is still a piece of 70's Evel Knievel Harley memorabilia

Beverly Hills Fire Dept 1928 Ahrens Fox, restoration completed by inmates at Norco Ca rehab center state prison

the Norco prison, is double capacity, is the only [California] prison to house felons along with low-level, drug-addicted inmates, and in February 2007 the California Office of the Inspector General found that the recidivism(re-arrested) rate of the drug program inmates was better among prisoners that DID NOT go through the program than those that did, despite the 36 million dollar drug treatment program. Well, it's good to know that they do better work restoring fire engines than they do fixing drug addictions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Rehabilitation_Center  

Bentley

cool badge design, the same shape as the wheel knock off fasteners

1000 Miglia Alfa Romeo at the Rodeo Dr Concours

I think that the most special parts of an antique car are the little things that aren't factory parts. The dealership that sold the car putting a tag on the dash or glovebox door (like last weeks Dodge at the San Marino) or a timing tag from El Mirage, Harpers, or Rusetta, or like this garage tag. Of course, some cars are one of a kind, but for the rest, there are more than one, and they all came from the factory the same unless they had something happen to them of significance, like winning a race, etc.

Interesting fairing

Alfa Romeo was the featured marque of this years Rodeo Dr Concours
