Hi

Restoration costs and too-valuable-to-expose-to-the-real-world woes be damned! It's Magnificent!!!!! I've been fascinated with this amalgam of Dietrich and LeBaron styling features executed prefectly as a '34 Twelve. Thanks West for posting this.

It was a badly abused survivor, herefore a daunting restoration, I applaud the gentlemen with the financial resources plus willingness teaming with craftsman skills to return this masterpiece to perfectly restored status.

Pebble Beach may well be about money and ego but so what? So too are a good many local shows which are but venues for smaller fish to publicly demonstrate their 'wealth' by sinking the family fortune into a vehicle.

The healthy way to attend Pebble Beach is to wear your best historian's hat only, enjoy the opportunity to see rare and wonderful survivors of an era never to be duplicated.
