[Leica] Ira's Mucho PESOs - 2008 Newport Beach Concours d'Elegance

[ISILVERMN at aol.com (ISILVERMN@aol.com)]

I've finally found the time to work on these pictures taken a few weeks ago  
at The Newport Beach Concours.  This first set is B&W, taken  with the M4/35 
Summicron on Tri-X, with a yellow filter.
 
To my eyes, nothing on four wheels was so lovely as this 1937  Talbot-Lago:

The Alfa-Romeo 8C 2300 Zagato remains one of my all-time favorites:

Having sparred with a Fiat throughout my college years, here's a rare  one:

I'm working on the (Canon) color pictures now and I'll post a few over the  
next couple of days.
 
As always, comments, critiques and suggestions are always  appreciated.
