Why A Classic Car Turns so Many Heads
Posted by Bullz-Eye Staff (12/09/2016 @ 8:55 am)
To many motoring purists, cars aren’t really cars anymore. With all the built-in technological features like sat navs, backup cameras and parking sensors, it could be argued that all the fun has been taken out of driving. Long gone are the days where you could risk driving somewhere, getting lost and having to rely on an old map to get yourself home again. That is an era perfectly encapsulated in the classic car, and with people restoring them as a hobby and driving them with pride, we should celebrate them. You can always get a quote here if you are a proud driver of a classic automobile. Here, we take a look at why classic cars are so appealing.

The Ultimate Car Show at Pebble Beach
Posted by Gerardo Orlando (08/24/2011 @ 11:08 am)
I knew I was in for a treat when I traveled to Pebble Beach this past weekend with Infiniti. Any trip to the beautiful Bay Area that included a visit to the iconic Pebble Beach golf course would be memorable. But visiting during the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance provided a completely unique experience. The Concours ranks as the most prestigious classic car show in the world. I was stunned by the number of beautiful cars that were on display. It’s a car enthusiast’s dream event, but anyone who appreciates great cars would have an unforgettable experience.
Infiniti took the opportunity around this event to introduce two impressive concept vehicles, including the JX Concept crossover which made its debut at an elegant evening event and the Etherea concept which was introduced for the first time in North America. The Etherea was introduced on Saturday morning on the 18th green at Pebble Beach, which would be the location for the Concours on Sunday (see photo below).
The Concours is the signature event for car enthusiasts, so all weekend we saw a virtual parade of amazing vehicles. Everywhere you turned you could spot old and new Ferraris, Bugattis, Rolls Royces, Aston Martins, Lambos and more, along with classic American cars as well. In the days leading up to Sunday, tons of vehicles we on display. One of my favorites was this 1968 Dodge Charger R/T:

Scenes from the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance
Posted by Gerardo Orlando (08/22/2011 @ 11:33 am)
We were thrilled to be guests of Infiniti for this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, which is one of the most prestigious classic car shows in the world. We were in Pebble Beach the entire weekend as Infiniti unveiled its JX Concept crossover and also introduced the Etherea concept for the first time in North America.
The Concours d’Elegance culminated on Sunday, and above we have a slideshow of some of the scenes from the event. It’s stunning how many rare collectibles are on display at this event, and all the cars are displayed on the 18th hole at Pebble Beach. The day starts early, as guests and media are on hand to watch as each classic car is driven onto the course as you can see in the second photo above. You can spend the entire day there admiring all the cars. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Ferrari 250 GTO so you’ll see several photos of the Ferraris above.
We’ll be posting more photos from the weekend here and on Dashboard News and we’ll be publishing a recap of the event as well so check back soon.
