Another Cool, Old Pebble Beach Racing Shot

August 3, 2011. A coming highlight for me this month is a research trip to the Concours d'Elegance in Pebble Beach and the car racing at the Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca earlier that week. The trip is research—and research of the most delightful kind—for the new book I'm writing about imports and an American import car pioneer. As part of this research I've been exploring a photographic archive with great old black and white photos of the early days of the Pebble Beach Road Races, such as the one of Phil Hill a few blogposts below, and this one of a race driver who is not having his best day.
