Check one off the automotive bucket list!

[svt2888]

...or two...or three...or...

If you want to check a bunch of cars off your automotive market list then the Pasadena Art Center Classic held every Fall at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA is the place to be! Where else would you see a Ferrari 250GTO, the famous Gulf Livery Porsche 917, a BMW 507, Porsche 959, Jaguar XK-SS, classic ultra rare Alfa's, Bugatti Type 57 Atalante, Voisin C27 Aerosport, concept cars, as well as other ultra rare cars. Then to top it off you get to meet and intermingle with the who's who of the automotive world. The chiefs of design from major automotive manufacturers where there as well as many famous automotive writers and car collectors. This event is definitely worth the price of entry and is a can't miss.

Just feast your eyes on the greatness that was present:

I just want to say I love you for taking so many pics of that 51 desoto.

Not overly keen on the wheels but with the modern mopar powerpack I can forgive em.

That delta race car is a crazy looking thing! Hope it gets to race.

What I don't like about the car is that they painted fake patina on it. I detest fake patina.

As to the Delta Racer, they're supposed to be developing it to race it at Le Mans.

Yet again sir, you deliver top notch documentation of stunning motors.

Kudos

.... and 917...... wibble... oh to have been Count Rossi

Marvellous.



Just FYI - the clickable URLs at the bottom of your posts never work. (The photos do, just not the links at the end.) It's always easy enough to find the galleries on cncpics.com, but just wanted to let you know...

Thanks for the tip. I think it must be a forum software issue. I make the post once and spam....errrr....share it on several forums. But each has different software and I've noticed sometimes the links don't work. Need to fix each individually....

I didn't notice the patina was fake I don't see the point.

I'd still have it tho, it's only paint.

It's the first pic of a 51 station wagon I've seen, don't suppose you got any pics of the rear?

The man he say it's not a Desoto, it's a '52 Chrysler Wagon with a Desoto front end, and the patina is all real. I believe him.

Awesome cars.

Hmmmmm, I'm not sure what to think now, I like the car(s) but I'm not sure I agree on his ethos around building them. He seems to come across as too much of a stylist and not enough of a car nut. Might just be me, I am rather green with envy of his art Morrison front clip...

Strange how ugly lumps of nondescript metal can give you a boner... Just me??

Ummm...I saw the car in person...I walked all over it...the patina was a fake as the patina on the modern engine it has. The car had just been finished and I could smell fresh paint all over the car.

I've seen it done a bunch of times to builds such as this. You see a car far afar that looks like a "survivor", you rush to it excitedly, only to get the smell of fresh paint that has been made to look old and beat up.

This was the car that I was most surprised to see at the show:
