I'm an unabashed lover of small cars. And small women, too. (Well, not that small!) The first and only time I saw an Amilcar was in a parade preceding the Sebring, Florida, 12-hour race in 1963. It was also my first exposure to a classic car event, as they were relatively rare in those days. The Amilcar was being driven by the famous woman racer and journalist Denise McCluggage and while I didn't get close enough to be enamored of Ms. McCluggage (who is still driving and writing, by the way) I immediately fell in love with the Amilcar, a very light and sporty 2-seater of the 1920's. Forty-three years later I got to see one again, this time driving on California Highway 1 in the Pebble Beach Tour d'Elegance. As you'll note from the photo, she's a pretty skinny old gal but seen from a side view, quite racy. Approaching us is a 1925 Amilcar CGS Duval Sport owned by Ed Godshalk.
