Quail 2009
September 4th, 2009
Unless Ben get’s himself out from under his Europa distraction and writes something up, this will be our last report on Monterey Car Week 2009. Pretty amazing year. And big THANKS to Les Ellis for all the photographs from so many of the best events.
Without further ado, the Quail…
From Les:
The Quail is the most expensive show during car week and has restricted tickets to 3,000 each year. I’m not sure they sold out this year, though they have for the last 3 or 4 years.
It has wonderful cars but is becoming more manufacturer oriented (Jag, Lambo, AMG, Prosche, all on hand). That’s understandable as this is the best spot for them to contact their potential clientele. Quail is also moving to “lifestyle” (fashion, food, cigars, wine, etal.) rather than just cars. Still its great as limited attendance means the CHANCE to get a photo.
And photos he does get… though he seemed to manage just fine at the more crowded events too.
As always, when in the area, the best place to pick up grand Les Ellis prints is at Woodies at Crossroads in Carmel. When not in the area, you can always contact us for more information via email at infoATcv-classiccarsDOTcom.
