2013 Concours D'Elegance Polyphony Award and demo

[CarBastard]

That Concours D'Elegance looks to me as a royal snoozefest.

Old people, rich people, a lot of mispronounced french words, retirement home soundtrack, a lot of cars from my least favourite time period...sheesh.

To each their own, but it seems to me like a really boring reunion. Still, very excited to see what car will Kaz give his blessing to this year. Fingers crossed for something that roars it's engine so hard it'll blow off the hat of everyone there...

Fail #2 with the Complex Simplex....

 

[Shant J.]

I'd love to see Lincoln finally added to the series.

Fail #2 with the Complex Simplex....

Ha Ha Ha! Look at those chain drives! Hard to start like my old chainsaw!

 

[eran0004]

That 1925 Lincoln Roadster is sweet!

 

[Shant J.]

GAH

Continental, not Lincoln!!!

The 1956-1957 car was a separate brand.

That Indianapolis is awesome. o_o

 

[GranTurismo916]

Lincoln has a lot of sub-classes...

And that Indi looks a bit odd.

EDIT: The guy hit the curb. xD

 

[Duphman]

That orange Lincoln is beautiful.

Never knew Continentals weren't originally Lincolns.

 

[Ameer67]

Dat 1955 Indianapolis Boano Coupe.

They got the 1956 right.

 

[CarBastard]

"It's not your grandfathers Lincoln, is it?"

Yes, and it's the first car I've seen since watching this stream that hasn't made me yawn. Very funky looking, though I can think of prettier cars. The tripple exhausts looked amazing though.

 

[SCER]

That orange Lincoln is beautiful.

Never knew Continentals weren't originally Lincolns.

 

[eran0004]

I love that blue Packard Roadster

 

[GranTurismo916]

That Packard Dietrich is awesome.

 

[Ameer67]

Imagine that thing in GT6. Then we're talking.

 

[Crumpet]

That orange Lincoln is beautiful.

Look at the state of that.

 

[GranTurismo916]

More Lincolns. One of these need to make it into GT6.

 

[Shant J.]

Never knew Continentals weren't originally Lincolns.

They were, actually.

The 1940-1948 Continental was a Lincoln, while the 1956-1957 one was a separate brand. The later ones went back to Lincoln.

 

[Duphman]

The 1940-1948 Continental was a Lincoln, while the 1956-1957 one was a separate brand. The later ones went back to Lincoln.

Ahhh, its a bit like Mazda and the Infini/Autozam/Eunos brands of the early 90s.

 

[GranTurismo916]

9.4 Liter....

 

[Suzumiya]

Rancho Palos Verdes represent! (Well, San Pedro is close enough. )

Nice car to represent, too!

 

[eran0004]

Wouldn't mind to have that Duesenberg Phaeton.

 

[Ameer67]

Give me that Duesenberg J! Now!

 

[CarBastard]

Less Pebble Beach, more Monterey Motorsports Reunion!

 

[Duphman]

Love that swooping aluminium trim

 

[Shant J.]

I'd kill for an R-Type Continental.

 

[ildd]

Yay, we're out of the era where a 8 liter engine produces 35 HP and every car looked nearly the same...

 

[GranTurismo916]

Yay, we're out of the era where a 8 liter engine produces 35 HP and every car looked nearly the same...

Yep.

 

[Panoz]

Give me all them Astons. DB2/4 Bertone Roadster mostly.

 

[CarBastard]

Yay, we're out of the era where a 8 liter engine produces 35 HP and every car looked nearly the same...

Amen to this.

Talking about Aston Martin's anniversary, am I the only one who wants the V12 Zagato that recently raced the Nordschleife and the car they made a couple of months ago for the anniversary??? PLEASE KAZ, PLEASE!
