Welcome back to another exciting and exhausting year in Monterey California! I would like to say Congratulations to the RM Restoration team for their amazing work on the 1933 Delage that won “Best of Show” at the Concours d’Elegance! Congratulations to the RM Auction’s team for their hard work at the auction which brought in more that $67 Million over the course of a 3 day auction. And, last but not least… Congratulations to Max for making it through as Car Weeks best auctioneer while feeling ‘just slightly’ under the weather! (I’m not biased, I’m just his biggest fan!)

Can I just tell you how difficult it is to get photos like this at the Concours! There are THOUSANDS of people there waiting in their spots for hours to snap this photo! A little Charm goes a long way!
As I seem to do every year, I leave my “good” camera at the hotel because by the time the concours comes around, I’m too tired to be bothered to carry it!
So let this once again be proof that you don’t need an expensive camera to get great photos! These were taken with my Canon PowerShot Elph – $150 two years ago!
We won’t see these on billboards, but they still look great!
Congratulations to the Patterson’s for their win!
Star Spotting at the Concours!
Celebrities onsite included Arnold Schwarzenegger, Patrick Dempsey, Ed Hermann, Jay Leno… and of course those that you ‘think’ that you see like Rob Lowe!
A man that needs no introduction…
1949 Delahaye Type 175 S Roadster – Sold for 3 million at auction.
1958 Ferrari 250 “Pontoon Fender” Testa Rossa – Didn’t sell at auction, but did make it to $10.7 million at the highest bid! Apparently, just not enough money!
The Auction… very exciting moments! Good job Steph!
When it’s all said, sold and done… we’re off to Monterey’s Fisherman’s Warf for breakfast!
