When Men Were Men and Sports Cars Were (Real) Sports Cars

Filed in archive Concours by Philip Powell on August 20, 2006

1913 Stutz Bearcat

Today, Sunday, was the last day of the Monterey classic car week, culminating in the 2006 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. 173 of the most magnificent automobiles ever built were on display, divided into classes by eras, continents, body styles, race types, and rare unrestored examples. The two featured marques were France's Delahaye and Voisin. Held in one of the most exquisite (and expensive) sites on earth, the Pebble Beach show is awe-inspiring to say the least. Because all the cars are very, very expensive, one might also describe it as a lawn party for the rich. Entry to the show is $175, which definitely weeds out the less well-heeled and makes me glad I was blessed with a media pass. Over the next few weeks I'll show you some of the 145 shots I took with my new Nikon Digital SLRlinks but for now your treat is limited to three in deference to my advancing years and the fact that after seven activity-filled days, I'm exhausted. We'll start with an early sports car, a 1913 Stutz Bearcat. The expression of the gentleman on the right says it all.
