    Henk, did you notice ScionDriver and Savageduck skulking about when you shot the Alfa?
    Also curious if that L-29 was anywhere nearby...
    Never own more cars than you can keep charged batteries in...

    subtle difference, I shot the car on the 13th (Quail) and Savageduck in on the 15th (Laguna) when the Pebble show was going on. I am sure you have also seen that car several times in the past
    The Cord does not look familiar, unless the car at Pebble was very heavily photoshopped (see attachment, not an entry)

    I usually don't go this far in editting my pictures. I really liked the wide front of this Espada, but I really hated the background (a bunch of cars, signs, buildings etc in very harsh sunlight). I converted the pic to B+W and made a cutout of the car. I guess it would have been better with a clear or really cloudy sky.

    Not sure if this is too much editting for this competition...

    Yup. I was at Laguna on the Sunday dragging myself all over the place. It took my legs two days to recover from walking all over and climbing up to the corkscrew several times.
    I did not see the Cord at Laguna, and I doubt it would have been part of the historics. So ScionDriver must have captured it at another location.

    ...and that was not the only Alfa there.
    For example this 1928 6 cl Sport.(not an entry)

    Yeah, for the record I was at the Auburn, Cord, Duesenberg Museum in Auburn, IN. Haha. I just moved into the area and got free tickets. Wonderful museum. I'm excited for the ACD Festival and Auctions in a couple weeks time.

    Just pokin' fun because the photos are so similar... the window reflection on the fender makes clear where the Cord is.
    Of course, none of us can resist that shot, regardless of the car
