Here to give Wallens some competition in the 911 category. '85 coupe freshly washed and coated. Took it down to the local golf club for the pic to pretend I'm concourse-level-fancy (which I am not). Only prop I have to verify the timeliness of the photo is the most recent CM magazine.
"Road Trip" planning or "TR3 and Tea"
1961 Triumph TR3A, props, my faded cap from Monterey 2005 on the Bonnet, plus the latest CM magazine, CM from 2005 plus the latest Moss catalog with a lovely TR3 on the Cover, CM Decal on the Z quarter window and a Grassroots Motorsports license plate holder...And who could go anywhere without a map.
The 1970 Z in the garage is ready to roll, packed with 1960's Samsonite luggage. The Z is the same one that's on the 2005 CM cover on the TR bonnet.
OK, so it's a long way from Monterey Bay. The Z and I enjoying the Candlewood Lake view in CT.
1970 Datsun 240Z, props CM T shirt and a CM window sticker.
The Z is the Classic Motorsports Magazine project car from a few years back.
An awesome handling and performing Z.
Nice looking Z. Looks strangely familiar somehow.

If you don't mind my asking, did you buy your elan in San Francisco. It looks like one I was considering. I think you beat me to it.
Here's my (unrestored survivor!) 77k mile 1990 Infiniti Q45 wearing period correct BBS wheels, from the best possible angle I could take it with my most recent CMS magazine
We're still celebrating 2018 when Datsun and Nissan were the honored marque at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. One of the best days EVER in my 17 years of owning this 2003 350Z and for all of the Z cars competing on the track!

1958 Jaguar XK 150, we always bring to car week and enjoy driving around to all the events and auctions. Next year will be better than ever.
Hmm, I may have to grab a picture of the Porsche whenever I move it ths week. I just got some of the Berkley this E36 M3 stickers, would that count for a prop?

Absolutely!
1956 TR3, Born on Date 22 Feb 1956.
Unable to make the trek west this year, had to settle for a local Cannery Row!
My 1989 Rolls Royce Silver Spur. 72k miles and climbing. I use it as much as possible. It is like driving a small english cottage, is about as sporty as one and gets about the same gas mileage. Lots of leather, lots of wood, lots of repairs. Ascot included to represent Pebble Beach Concours attire.
In reply to 230SL :
That is so beautiful. We have been wanting one of these for so long!

Thanks for entering. I guess we need to start thinking about Infinitis becoming classics. Yours is 30 years old!

I've never been to Monterrey, so I don't have a prop. But this picture is closest to how I imagine Monterrey might look.
My 1987 (W201) 190E 2.3-16 vintage racecar. It should qualify for the Best Mercedes and Best 4-Door categories.

That it does! Beautiful Mercedes–those just look right with a roll bar in the back seat.
MY TR2 ON ANOTHER "ROAD TRIP". Fortunately last year my wife and I were able to take a six week "ROAD TRIP" That covered a lot of world class Car Events, including all of the Monterey Car Week Events (including Classic Motorsports Kickoff Event), Reno Hot August Nights, Bonneville Speed Week, tours of Jay Leno's Garage and all of the great southern/ central CA Car Museums along with a great Drive up all of the California, Oregon and Washington Coastal Highway. Had a lot of nice open road and even some whale watching. Doesn't get any better than this, even the weather was perfect. 2020 has left me looking at a lot of car pictures of last year and other online car sites wishing for the "good old days".
Stay Safe and Godspeed into the Good Times, Best, Bill.
Anne's 1970 Austin Mini Cooper S waiting for the next car show?
HORSEPOWER, BUDWEISER AND THE TR2 at a car show in Nebraska. Remembering the day!
In reply to Tim Suddard :
It's totally a classic. It's been eligible for historical plates in Ohio for 5 years now. It's kinda sad having just turned 40 that cars half my age are now "old" and I wouldn't have tossed just any infiniti up, but this thing has been pampered since day 1 and I'm trying to keep it up because it's a gorgeous car if you can get past the no grill thing. I actually washed it for the picture(Griot's wheel cleaner is pretty awesome)
Presenting my somewhat customized 1976 Cosworth Vega. In 2017 it suffered the penultimate humiliation of being kicked to the curb as truly Cosworth(less) at the California Concours d’Lemons. Though hanging my head in justifiable shame, I did nonetheless muster up the courage to score a cool T-Shirt in remembrance of the ignoble achievement.
My second entry: 2004 BMW M3 coupe parked besides Lt. Frank Bullitt's 1968 Ford Mustang.
