The California Mille, a 1000 mile tour through Northern California, starts at the Fairmont Hotel atop Nob Hill in San Francisco with a casual car show and champagne lunch. As this was my third year attending, I began to see some familiar cars and faces. The entrants vary widely from rare race cars to comfortable cruisers. Enjoy!

A Caddy powered Studebaker Starlight. Great styling.


A Buick Special wears it's Peking to Paris dust proudly.


The Pre-War version of a McLaren F1- the Supercharged Bentley


A great Caddy

A Mercedes Benz 300 SL Roadster seems to be a logical choice for this event.


And SCDC's best in show and what we would choose to drive on the California Mille; a black on red Austin Healey roadster with a raked windscreen and wire wheels. Let's go!

Special thanks to Steve and Kathy Pedone.
