Here in California every year there is a non-competitive vintage rally that starts at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. The rules are that the car be of 1957 year model or older. Most of the cars were European, but there were some American too. I thought that many of you might find this interesting even though there are no Z's. I hope it is anyway.

Here are the pics. I will post more later. By the way, these are some of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen.

Take care,

A very nice Ferrari 250gt California convertable..

I have never seen one of these in person. There were two!

Here is one of my favorites; a early 1950's Jaguar XK120.

Here is another nice looking Ferrari(is there such thing as an ugly Ferrari???). I am not sure of the model type.

The name is Bond, James Bond. Hehehehe

If you like this sort of thing, you really ought to get to the Monterey Historic Automobile Races held at Laguna Seca each year. You'll think you're in Heaven.

This years featured marque is Ferrari. There will be many other marques in attendance, but you'll be drowning in Ferrari's

There was three of these, one being a Gullwing.

I went to the monterey historics 3 or 4 years ago and the theme was Maserati and there were more Ferrari's than Maserati's there. The parking lot was comparable to the cars in the races. Here is a Ferrari 250gt TDF(Tour de France). I love these cars too.

Maserati racer

Here is one for alfadog

I have a ton more pics. If you are after a certain marque I can post more. I have more of Jaguar, Ferrari, Porsche, Alfa Romeo, Cristalia, Triumph, AC, Pierce Arrow, Mercedes, and probably some more that I cannot think of or have no clue what they are. I hope you guys like the photos. There should be a Z rally. That would be cool.

Take care,
