A Tucker on Rodeo... very cool to see a Tucker on a street again, and not in a museum






Jay Leno's Chrysler Turbine at the Rodeo Dr Concours, engine compartment





Though I didn't see the sign saying it was Jay Leno's, since there are less than a handful existing, and Beverly Hills is really close to Jay's Burbank garage, I figure it's his. 

1914 Woods Mobilette model 3, and the first time I've seen such a rare car at the LA Roadster Show, it's great to see the variety of roadsters!


so very unusual in the one passenger / one driver and them not being able to sit next to each other





comparison of the narrow Woods to the red Buick. 

BMW's "Cargo Donkey" is an obscure vehicle from a prominent car maker

an extremely significant Chevy collection, you probably haven't heard of

one of the 5 Grand Sport Corvettes, and it was driven by Penske
the "Pass In The Grass" Dale Earnhardt Sr Monte Carlo,
the SR2 Corvette that Zora Duntov drove, and Bill Mitchell designed
