Carmel Concours On The Avenue – 2018

by Mike –

This past Tuesday August 21 the Carmel Concours On The Avenue kicked off Monterey Car Week in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Much of the downtown area is reserved for the show cars and all of the shops and restaurants are open. It is a great time walking around the beautiful cars in a beautiful town.

My friend Tom and I arrived early before all of the cars. We spent time looking at the cars and we took a break in a favorite bar/restaurant where we ran into more friends. We then had another walk around to see the cars we missed the first time.

  1. I chuckle.. waaay back when I was a HS student tinkering on cars planes bikes with my chums, “hanger night” we calked it, one of the guys saved up his afterschool job money, sold the $500 s1 etype and bought the ~$2,500 400gt albeit with a missing engine and broken windshield. Eventually found that beautiful compound curved glass and sympathetically installed a 327 corvette engine. Teenager budget.. That car flew. What i distinctly remember about it looking at the front end it was noticably asymmetric side to side, like two different panel beaters were turned loose on it. Lovely car but a homemade quality. It eventually was sold to someone w deeper pockets that did indeed find an original engine and brought it back to spec.
    Replaced with a used MB6.3

    A good holiday weekend to all
