Pics From Palm Springs Concours....

[MBZ 500E]

Last Saturday I helped judge cars at the Palm Springs Show and Shine event and was invited to show my car at the Palm Springs Concours the following day. The show and shine was cool but the concours was absolutely amazing. My car was unfortunately too young to be judged, cars had to be 1975 and older to be judged. Here are a couple of the cars that really stood out:



This ones an early 60's Lincoln Continental:

Delahaye with white ostrich skin interior.:shocked . This had to be one of the most beautifully designed cars at the show.

For the performance minded enthusiasts....Patrick this ones for you. :wavey



This is the engine bay of a Mid 70's Detomaso Pantera. The paint is a Glasurit Red with no additional colors added, just pure red. The entire frame was wet sanded and polished to perfection including the exterior, no sanding marks or swirls anywhere!:bow The engine is a DOHC Ford Crate Motor putting out over 600Hp! The block has been shaved to fit into the engine bay and high polished before installation. This car obviously never see's the road, it just gets trailored from show to show, nearly a 100 Point car! :bow

Beautiful cars!



It's just a shame that some of them never get driven.. after all, that's what they were made for! It's like clipping a birds' wings.
