[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="34085"] words: Bill, photos: George Achorn, Denis Podmarkov For the past several years, a band of us would get together and flock to the town of Monterey in mid-August to indulge in our automotive fantasies. Actually, we were there to work but who can just work when you're surrounded by some of the most rare, old/new, gorgeous, and exotic metal around?

The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering at Monterey Car Week 2019

  [gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="33920"] Named for the golf lodge on whose lush grounds it is held, “The Quail” may very well be the most exclusive car event of the weekend. Tickets are three figures and sell out quickly after becoming available. Security is tight, though incredible food and celebrities are plentiful once inside. All that said, it’s obvious that Quail is enthusiast produced. Fireside chats with racing legends, car and concept reveals, e...

Event: Automobilia Monterey at Monterey Car Week 2019

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="34282"] This gathering of vendors in Seaside, CA is a great way to begin the week.

Event: Exotics on Broadway at Monterey Car Week 2019

Throw in ample “carparazzi” photographers and kids simply seeking flaming-belching exhaust snaps for Instagram, and it becomes quickly apparent how diverse the world of expensive automobiles can be. Exotics moved from Monterey�...
