Hi Nobbc,

I went to the Saturday Show in Tiburon. Great cars and a wide  
variety. Some hot rods,
vintage American Iron and European. The top car at the show was a  
1938 Delahaye
Roadster. Absolutely stunning. Also a Jaguar D-Type that was a  
factory racer in the
day. Reg. number OKV 3. Also a C-Type although that one was a replica.
Lots of Austin-Healeys, Triumphs, MG's, Alfa Romeo's, Porsche's. Two  
1930's Packard
roadsters. A Model T "Station Hack" that was interesting.
Worth the drive.

Wendell
