Concour on the Avenue
Carmel by the Sea, California.
Tuesday, August 16, 2011, over 200 unique classic cars converged on the quaint town of Carmel, for a highly organized car show know as Concour on the Avenue. 2011, will go down in history as the largest gathering of automobiles for this show since its inception in 2007. Produced by Doug & Genie Freedman, this is truly an amazing car show
This is considered by some as the kick off for Monterey Week. Spectators can come to Ocean Avenue and be treated to some outstanding and rare rolling works of art. As with any car show, conversation is encouraged. The owners of these cars are anxious to share the stories about their cars. You will find race cars, classic sports cars, American muscle cars, hot rods, and even a vintage Ford tractor.
I would highly recommend coming to Carmel in August for the Concour on the Avenue show, which is always the Tuesday of Monterey Week. -Jeff (more photos on the pdxcc facebook page)

The Allure of the Automobile - Portland Art Museum
;)
Portland, OR
The Allure of the Automobile
The title of the exhibit at the Portland Art Museum, “The Allure of the Automobile,” suggests a fantasy like experience. In my opinion, that is just what you get. The cars on display are truly works of art, taking the viewer back in time to a very different place of form and function. Don’t expect to see a lot of cars here, this is quality over quantity. There are only 16 cars, but they will not disappoint you.
The automobile gave freedom, independence, to some the car you drive is a reflection of who you are and your personality. The cars you covet, are a reflection of your passion. I am very passionate about all types of cars. I like to see the beauty in the design, to hear the roar of the engine, and the feeling of cruising down any open road with the window down is a perfect day.
I highly suggest you visit the Portland Art Museum, between June 11th and September 11th, and answer this question; “What does the allure of the automobile mean to you?” I also suggest you share this experience with someone interested in automobiles, or introduce the younger generation to these iconic machines. -Jeff (The full album is posted on facebook, www.facebook.com/pdxcarculture)
