Just registered for the event. I plan to head out in the wee hours of the morning on the event day.
Sounds good to me. I'm still on deck to host something next year but I'm better suited for summer sometime.Are you volunteering Vince for March 22nd?
If you host something Peter, be sure to offer some nice wine like those we had at the Roosevelt and of course, be sure to invite me
Todd: Will do in the invite. Maybe July or August though. Are you planning to go to the Desert Concours?
Todd, I have yet to see a party take place without you... Have you improved your skills on taking pictures?
I think they should have made the entrance fee much cheaper the first time around. It doesn't say what to expect for your $70 per person. I think it should be a substantial show for that price.
tubeguy, Here is a list of cars invited to the show. Desert Concorso is a new and exciting automotive event coming to Palm Desert California. It will feature Italian Cars, but not only Italian cars. In addition to inviting all the great Italian marques, Desert Concorso also invites historically important GT, racing and sporting cars from, but not limited to, Germany France and the UK. Yes, the new Desert Concorso is expanding the Monterey format adopted by our sister event Concorso Italiano by welcoming other great brands. (see below list) The Desert Concorso is a wash it, wax it, and show it Italian car show centered around all the great European marques. Selected Hot Rods Invited We here at Desert Concorso also recognize that there is a very large Hot Rod community in Coachella Valley which contains some incredibly sophisticated cars so we would like to invite no more than ten 32 Ford roadsters with exceptional engineering or design qualities, and no more than ten old-school Rat Rods. If you have a 32 Roadster or an old school Rat Rod that can qualify please send a series of photos and a letter detailing the story of your car. In addition to all the Italian and other European works of art, we believe a few unique hot rods are something Car Guys will want to see. Acceptable Cars for Desert Concorso: All Italian cars including Italian designed cars Original purpose built racing cars 32 Ford roadsters limited to 8 Old School Rat Rods limited to 8 53 - 54 Corvette limited to 8 55 - 59 Corvette limited to 8 61 - 62 Corvette limited to 8 63 - 67 Corvette limited to 8 Aston Martin all years McLaren all years Jag XKE and earlier Bentley all years Rolls Royce upon acceptance Porsche pre 1967 911 & all 356 limited to 8 models each Porsche purpose built racing cars all BMW racing, 2002 & earlier, plus Z8 limited to 8 each, 2-doors only Pre 1966 Mercedes and racing limited to 8, 2-doors only Renault 5 Turbo Delorean Bugatti racing and GT cars Other interesting cars will be considered please contact the office for clarification. So you might say something for everyone.
Awwww, I didn't realize that non-Italian cars could be registered....can I change from 16M to CGT? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Trying to talk him in to it. He would need to have the Rolls approved for entry in the show. May be his last chance as he is planning to move back to London this summer.
This is NOT the pricing, nor the problem at "Desert Classic" (the longstanding superb show the Merrigan's put on annually for Charity --without the zero at end: Desertclassic.com ) every year, now Feb.22-23 at Desert Princess hotel, Palm Springs. Same great people--the real deal. Check out pricing, etc. The other event is by the crew that do Concourso Italiano in the summer, up north. Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of confusion created.
