IML: Imperials at Pebble Beach Concours

["Bob Schmitt" <BSBRBANK@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all -

While admiring a 1936 Imperial LeBaron Airflow at this 
Concours last Sunday, I ran into mailing list member 
David Whitney. He sent me down to admire a '33 
Imperial that was also quite nice.  Photos to follow!

The show (and entry fee) was quite spectacular - 
perhaps nearly 75 very rare Alfas - racers, custom 
bodies, prototypes.  Including the 3 B.A.T. cars!

The cars and exhibits near the show were also quite 
interesting - where else would you expect to see 5 
Maybachs, for demo rides/drives?  On the upper putting 
green was the Firepower and a Maybach limo.  It's 
handler was slightly testy when I remarked the trunk 
seemed a bit small - he said it would handle 3 golf 
bags.  Guess the driver only gets to carry the bags 
and not get to play.  It would be interesting to get 
the specs for the trunk and compare it to my '66.

Shannon & I drove up and back in my '69 Alfa Spyder - 
a little toasty through the Salinas Valley on the way 
home.  Quite a contrast to the foggy ride up along 
Highway 1.

Bob
