Palos Verdes Concours

[1,6 HF]

Adan Figueroa and I have organized the Lancia class for this year's Palos Verdes Concours d'Elegance next Sunday, 13 September. More info here: http://www.pvconcours.com/

This year's theme is Italian, the featured marque is Maserati, and the organizers decided to give Lancia its own class for postwar cars 1946 - 1974. Adan & I looked at this as an opportunity to really introduce the marque to those who don't know it, or at least don't know it well. So we've put together as wide a range of cars as we could. Here's the list of cars:

1954 Lancia Aurelia B20
1955 Lancia Aurelia B-24 Spider

1958 Lancia Flaminia Berlina
1959 Lancia Flaminia Sport, Series 1

1960 Lancia Appia Berlina, Series 3
1961 Lancia Appia Sport

1965 Lancia Flavia 1.8 PF Coupé

1966 Lancia Fulvia Coupé 1.2
1969 Lancia Fulvia Berlina GTE
1970 Lancia Fulvia Coupé 1.6 HF

1976 Lancia Stratos HF

Unfortunately, we lost our 1964 Flavia convertible, as it's not roadworthy. And the Fulvia 1.6HF won't be mine; I'm completely re-doing the front end and electricals, and it just won't be ready in time.

Should be a good show.

Hi Ed,

Great job, sounds like it is going to be a fantastic show. That is indeed a monumental line up of post war Lancias!

Best regards,

Tim

Thanks, Tim. I'll post pictures afterwards.

Great lineup Ed, couldn't have ordered it any better had you had free access to all Lancias. Nicely done, and in case anyone forgets, these events take an awful amount of time. Thanks from us all!

Thanks, Geoff. I didn't do this alone; as I said, it was a collaborative effort. And I really wish we had that Flavia convertible. Or a Touring Flaminia GT or convertible.

Still we must have done something right; the organizers changed our field location to be right at the main entrance. Lancias will be the first thing the public sees as they walk through the gate.

Ed, congratulations to you and Adan on pulling together such a great and representative group of Lancias. That number of diverse Lancias can't help but elevate the tone of the whole event.

I'm only disappointed that I won't be able to attend and see the cars in person. But I hope that some of those who do attend will post their snapshots so that I can drool over them later.
