    A Little Bit of Monterey in the Redwoods

    As my wife and I were driving up from San Diego to Humboldt State (Arcata, CA) to visit our daughter, we came upon a dozen vintage autos touring on their way from Seattle to Monterey. A few of them were from overseas, Europe and down-under.

    We came upon these vehicles while traveling the "Avenue of the Giants", stopping at the Visitors Center.

    The fuzzy thing is one of those beaver hand-puppets they sell all over the coast. I guess the owners thought it looked cute on the gearshift.

    I believe that the "bottle" is a cover over the dynamo on the Bentley 6 1/2 model, but I'm no expert on 1929 Bentleys... I thought that it was a supercharger cover, but that model wasn't blown...

    I'm not familiar with pre-war classics, but they are awesome.

    My hat is off to these people taking their classics on the road for multi-day extended excursions.
