Aside from rocks and dirt, anything that makes it past 100 years old is either tough or fortunate. The 1907 Thomas Flyer that recently appeared on Jay Leno’s Garage is both. It made it through the grueling 1908 New York to Paris Race, eventually wound up in the hands of car collector William F. Harrah, and later became an exhibit at the National Automobile Museum in Reno, Nevada. https://lnkd.in/gAgXZHmY

One of the most iconic American cars of the 1950s is the 1959 Cadillac. Not only was it part of a new wave of cars from General Motors, but it also featured the tallest fins of the era. However, some lean into the cleaner, elegant ’60. One of the prettiest examples of the latter, a 1960 Eldorado Seville, will be crossing the block at the Barrett-Jackson 2025 Palm Beach Auction April 24-26th. https://lnkd.in/gF6Wp2X9

Now 91 years old, Paul Bracq has made a significant impact in the automotive world. The French designer was appointed Design Director at BMW in 1970 and played a role in the development of at least four different models in the several years that followed. Even today, he remains active in the industry and has been a judge at events like the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. One of the cars Bracq drew was the BMW E24 6-Series. The Pick of the Day is a 1985 BMW 635CSi listed for sale on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Stanton, California. https://lnkd.in/gqXrQAm5

How lucky I am! Sometimes it’s tough to find like-minded people who can appreciate a few hours of car talk. There are several people who live on my street who “get it,” and I finally got a chance to spend time with them and their sweet machines over the weekend. Dubbed the “Rock and Roll” car show, the Pavilions event in Scottsdale has been taking place every Saturday afternoon for decades. I remember attending it when I first moved to Arizona 20 years ago. The nice thing about the show is its variety – there is always something for everyone. https://lnkd.in/gbpHHuh8

There are car enthusiasts out there who always buy the newest version of a particular model. You may be one of them, a person who has always driven Ford Mustangs and always makes sure to buy one from the latest generation. At the 2025 Arizona Concours d’Elegance, I met Tim Trani, who went the opposite direction with his love of Bentleys and ended up buying the 1958 S1 Continental Flying Spur you see here. https://lnkd.in/gfHRsFxM
