I never fail to get a little chill from a Duesenberg.
So buy a closed one.
Let me know your Email address and I will send you dramatic Tour photos taken very close up, in my face, at the corner of Agujito Rd and Mulhouse.
Pebble Beach = most amazing collection of cars anywhere! I sure hope I can make it there someday. These photos have been great!
1952 Ferrari 340 Mexico Vignale Berlinetta is sure a headscratcher. I am no Ferrari expert, so I have no idea what it is, but my guess is that a vintage Ferrari had an affair with an American Funny Car and this is their love child.
I agree, lovely lines but odd proporotions and those weird little fins…
The 1955 Ferrari 250 Europa GT Pinin Farina Coupe Speciale is another funny one. I imagine that if you’re the owner every time you look at it you have to have a little conversation with yourself about whether the rear fins “work”. For me, I have to say it’s a no.
Love those Pierce Arrow’s! It’s a treat to see those other early classics too.
Maserati A6G Zagato for pure beauty, that quality which causes my permanent complaint about present cars: even in high-end stuff, no-one even seems to try for delicacy or refinement.
To contradict myself, there are some truly odd proportions amongst some of this collection, so even in the venerated Classical Times from which, like the ancient Greeks, we are endlessly descending, it seems there was more than the odd carbuncle about. You have to wonder if, for example, that hunched Vignale Ferrari at the end would be paid any regard at all, were it not for the badges and history and, let’s face it, price.
It’s interesting to see Pinin Farina attempting repeatedly to provide a fresh or novel grille for Ferrari in the early ‘fifties. Did you ever think you’d see a vertical grille on a Ferrari like the one on the ’55 375 America ?
