As
an auto aficionado, the annual Concours d'Elegance at Pebble Beach --
the world's greatest car show -- has always been atop my bucket list.
Best
in Show: 1937 Horsch droptop. Horsch was one of the 4 German marques
that merged as Auto Union, known today as Audi. Silvery silvery
goodness.
Another
of the marques that made up Auto Union was Wanderer. Here's an
unrestored roadster from the '30s, complete with vintage Veedol
cheesecake decals on the decklid.
Early Postwar Fiat Topolino, coachwork by Zagato. Maybe the prettiest tiny car you'll ever see.
A couple of crazy 1941 concept cars
Sidemount tumor on a Duesenberg
this car was expected to fetch in the range of $12 million, challenging the record price ever paid for a car at auction.
1939 Auto Union D-type. Chassis #19, the only authenticated surviving example of perhaps the greatest racing car of all time
