Pebble Beach Automotive Week!

the Pebble Beach Automotive Week has started

It is that time again, for the mega car event called the Monterey Car Week & Concours D’elegance. It runs from August 5th thru the 15th this year.

The event dates back over half a century, where only 200 of the best collector cars in the world roll onto the legendary 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links to be shown and compete. Only a handful of these will receive official recognition for style, technical merit and historical accuracy.

But, the Concours is only the final event in a packed week celebrating the classic automobile! All over Monterey County, classic cars take to streets, golf courses, parks and the world-renowned Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, surrounding visitors with automobiles from today and yesteryear.

Owners’ Corner

Larry G.’s 2016 & 1975

I am a Ford/Lincoln and Chrysler, Jeep Ram dealer in Delaware. However, growing up my Father and brother had GM dealerships. So GM products were our heart and soul. Especially Corvettes. My brother had a 65 and a 67 coupe. How ironic it is that both of my Corvettes 1975 and 2016 were both traded in on Lincolns. I bought them both without even driving them. So here they are. The 75 convertible has 19,000 original miles and two tops. One of the only years that has a removable black “vinyl” top. The 2016 in Laguna blue has 8,900 original miles. Scheduled for September Show on Ocean City, NJ boardwalk.

What Mike Likes about this C8 Corvette Convertible:

“These G.S.’s have always been popular, but I’ve noticed a recent upsurge in activity. So, if you’ve dreamed about having one of these striking collectible Corvettes in your garage, it might be time to go for it!

Prices are on the rise, and this is one of those you’ll look back at in a few years and say; “why didn’t I buy that one Mike had!”

After all, Mike nose, he can smell a a good deal a mile away!!”
