007, You have a great collection of pictures.

Have you been to the Concorso Italiano show here in the US? It is a great show. There are always 50-100 different Lamborghinis there. I have not missed a show in many years.

Where is the show exactly? I would love to attend. Is it open to the public?

I can't think of a better way to spend a few vacation days.

Jeffrey,

The Concorso Italiano is held each year in Monterey, California (near San Francisco) in August. It is always held on the Friday closest to the 17th. This year's event will be held on August 16th.

It is open to the public. The event is quite expensive as far as average car shows go, but this show is far and above average. If you do plan to attend, I recommend getting your reservation up to a year in advance. Every hotel for 200 miles is booked almost a full year in advance. I make reservations at each event for the following year event.

Concorso Italiano

During that same weekend there are usually 4 top end auctions scheduled: Blackhawk Collection, Kruse Auctions, Christies Auction, Brooks and others, all of which have a very impressive lineup of automobiles. The auctions take place at various times and do charge for entry.

Throughout the whole weekend, the Historic Races at Laguna Seca are held. The races are based on classes that range from the old Ferrari 250 GTOs and 250 TRs to GT40s, Vintage Corvettes, and everything else that has ever raced in its day through the years.

On Sunday is the Pebble Beach Concourse. It is also quite expesive, but has an attendance of automobiles that will likely never be seen in public again. The subject matter of autos is more along the lines of vintage Packards, Lincolns, Cords, and others, but the sights are worth the time.

If you are most interested in the exotics, I would recommend Concorso Italiano. If you are looking for a vacation that will top all others, I would say, go to all of them.
