This is about my favorite show in Phoenix area which unfortunately I missed this year. Oh well, can't have it all. A few samples: 1960 AC Aceca-Bristol Coupe, 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB Series II alloy body, 1960 Lancia Flaminia Sport Zagato. An interesting one from the parking lot, a 1951 Riley RMB which a late friend of mine (Bill Lewis) in Cal used to own. I was looking at it when the current owner asked why I seemed so interested and I told him it looked like an old friend of mine's car that was one of the founders of the International Association of Automotive Modelers back in the early 50's. Then he took me around to the back and asked if I noticed the badge? We had a really good conversation and was going to get together later. About 2 weeks later was when I got t-boned from a moron running a stop sign and never did get back with him. But it was good to see the car and know it was in good hands.

All beautiful motorcars, all great images, but the Riley is in a class by itself!

Thanks for these.

Nice looking cars. Those kind always seem to have good lines. Easy on the eyes and probably fun to drive around. Thanks for the photos.
