Supercar Sunday

Supercar Sunday
I stopped by Supercar Sunday at Woodland Hills Promenade this past Sunday. As usual a terrific turnout but only 3 lonely Jaguars, 2 XKRs and 1 V-12 XJS. Usually, I've seen one or two F-types but not this time. For those in So Cal, it would be nice to get a contingent of Jaguars there one Sunday, meet for breakfast at Corner Bakery (in the parking lot), and actually get to know some of our forum brethren other than by our usernames. The beautiful Carnelian Red convertible parked in front of my silver coupe belonged to the father of a young man visiting from England (he's got an Aston Vantage at home) . What was interesting was the top, it was a tweed comprised of the red (burgundy) and black, and was just great.
Let's try to set a date in the New Year and get together.

My son-in-law is from Auburn, Indiana - the home of "The World's Greatest Classic Car Show and Festival" - an annual reunion the week before Labor Day for Auburns, Cords, and Duesenbergs, which is where they were manufactured. https://www.acdfestival.org I've been there and highly recommend this event. All the restored A-C-D cars drive into town in a parade, with drivers and passengers in period costumes, and park around the courthouse - which is like stepping back in time. While you're there, don't miss the amazing A-C-D Museum with two floors of exhibits including incredible "one-off" Duesenbergs, Lalique crystal hood ornaments, and Mr. Cord's office as it was on the day he died.

Auctions America also holds a HUGE auction in Auburn, Indiana on Labor Day weekend, to coincide with the Festival. Auctions America's Fall Auburn Auction

Now that I'm a year older, it doesn't look so bad, and might actually be a better match than the tan top on mine.

prettybluefin,
Congratulations! Beautiful coupe! Ralphwg and I are considering going to a meet in Palos Verdes on Sunday morning. I had some minor surgery on my heel and depending on how much pain I'm in tomorrow afternoon, I am going to try and meet Ralph. It is at the Golden Cove shopping center at 9am at the corner or Hawthorne Bl. and Palos Verdes Dr. W. It's an all British Car meet and greet.

Hey Ted and Ralph, I'll be in LA from March 11 to March 18 with my daughter for her March break. If there is a meet during this time maybe we can meet up.

There is a photo day at Automobile Driving Museum Photo Day. that I bought a ticket to. checkout the link (I think it will work) . I just tested it and it is not a link. You can Learn about the museum here: www.automobiledrivingmuseum.org. It is located almost adjacent to LAX. Glen, it would be good to meet up again.
