Monterey, August 13, 2010
Friday is concours day once again! On the schedule the
Concorso Italiano at the Laguna Seca Golf Ranch and The Quail
at Quail Lodge in Carmel Valley.
Concorso Italiano always attracts a vast number of Italian cars,
plus there is an area set aside for non- Italian exotica. The Ferrari
element of the event is usually the largest, and this year was no
exception with over 350 examples on display, looking like a
predominantly red carpet flowing down the fairway. They were
predominantly modern examples, although the sixties era was
well represented with some nice 250 GTs and 275 GTBs. At the
modern end of the spectrum the 2008 Ferrari Special Project
Number 1 was displayed.
Elsewhere on the field the Lamborghini display was pretty
impressive, with the unique Muira spider and the first Countach,
not to mention the lurid array of paintwork on the many
Murcielagos and Gallardos present, including one with a wild
graphic design all over, even extending to the glass! The selection
of Maseratis was also impressive, with numerous sixties
examples.
