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.
Here are some of my photos from this event, which is free to the public.
Let us know what you think in the Comments.

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
