1MPALA interior

Ford Galaxy 500 (before '500' was a name for a lame Taurus replacement it meant top of the line)

Mustang GT/CS, making good use of that extinguisher
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3524.jpg)
Roadrunner Super Bird. Imagine being 11 years old, car crazy and living in the era. Yep, I seen one of these on the local Chrysler Plymouth lot.

WRX got nothing on this wing

Day 2
Concourse On The Avenue, Carmel
Found on the street
What looks like a Charger meetup is merely two rental cars trying to find a parking place
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3555.jpg)
Porchee Spyders meet up
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3582.jpg)
Fill up with $4/gallon Carmel Shell gas
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3578.jpg)
Rolls rolling by
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3558.jpg)
Stingray on the hunt
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3518.jpg)
Carerra for sale and very bored looking lady
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3516.jpg)
Cobrah
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3460.jpg)
Army
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3458.jpg)
Benz on Scenic Drive
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3379-1.jpg)
Best car in town -
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3583.jpg)
See ya tomorrow for the littlest pieces of crap show from Pacific Grove.
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/rr.jpg)
Got three events lined up after that - a rally from Pacific Grove, a day at Laguna Seca for the historic races and the Concours D'Lemons.
I remember seeing some other meetups in a parking lot by the wharf that was more my taste with 60s and 70s cars. Hope to bring more of the rest of Monterey Car Week.
Goal is to find a Monte someplace. Really, is there no honor out there?

Day 3, My quest for free car exhibits continues - today with "The Littlest Car Show". Little cars and a little show. Weather today was overcast and chill.
First, 4 wheel machines
There was an awful lot of Fiat representation here. One of several X 1/9s
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3584.jpg)
A scattering of Fiat 500s, past & present. Though the present was looking more like a sales pitch.
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3598.jpg)
Sales pitch also applied to the 2nd Tesla at a showing in 2 days. Since the factory is 90 minutes (whattzzat, range of one full charge?) away I guess we can expect to see them. But there was a sales pitch going on. Anyway, this red battery runner looked a lot nice than the Comet Cleanser Can green one I saw in Carmel's street show.
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3585.jpg)
Lotus 7
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3591.jpg)
Yes, its a Honda
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3588.jpg)
Honda interior. I'd be afraid of breaking that stalk of a shifter
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3589.jpg)
Honda again. I'd seen Honda cars from the very beginning of the 600 micro car. This was interesting to see.
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3590.jpg)
Also from Japan, this Toyota "Sprinter Trueno". Meh. Looks like any old beat up Celica commuter.
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3608.jpg)
Citroen 2CV. Didn't have cupholders in those days.
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3619.jpg)
Under the hood of a Citroen 2CV. Interesting shift linkage that goes to a **** that sticks out of the dash.
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3620.jpg)
Morris Pickup. A friend named Rocky had a Minor, it was best known for vapor locking and we'd have to pull over and wait it out. Rocky's short term cure for vapor locking was to carry a cooler of brews. Vapor lock? Pop a top and take a walk.
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3621.jpg)
Best of the class IMO. Triumph Herald. Only like because I once owned a TR3. I sympathize.
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3627.jpg)
Triumph has tilt front end.
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3613.jpg)
Hey, hey its the Moke
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3623.jpg)
Moke runs Hoosier wheelbarrow tires
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3624.jpg)
BMW Isetta.

Day 3 continues at Pacific Grove's "Littlest Car Show"
3 wheels
Didn't we see the stability of these demonstrated on "Top Gear"?
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3586.jpg)
Odd little capsule, it's a Messerschmitt
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3595.jpg)
After seeing that odd thing I was surprised by another one a block away!
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3615.jpg)
BMW 3 Wheeler
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3618.jpg)
Morgan
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3606.jpg)
Morgan. Exposed Valve springs, wow.
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3607.jpg)
Morgan. What do the levers on the wheel do?
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3605.jpg)
Electra King. Pimpin' with that Caddy hood ornament
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3601.jpg)
Electra King
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3602.jpg)
Found on the street - 2 wheels
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3628.jpg)
Gets 83 MPG the owner claims. Craig Vetter, designer and inventor of the Windjammer fairing,Triumph Hurricane Motorcycle and fuel economy motorcycles
![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/barovelli/DSC_3632.jpg)
There's nothing free scheduled for tomorrow so I don't expect to find any camera worthy items to post - check Friday for more!
