Here is a new opportunity for car lovers. Cars-On-Line readers who use our Car Show Calendar may be aware of the interesting little show called the Motorsports Gathering (used to be refered to as The Quail Run) at the Quail Lodge & Golf Club in Carmel Valley, California. It is one of the more exclusive attractions this week during Monterey Car Week, the week-long series of collector car events that lead up to the Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance. This exclusive event has been made available to the public now with a special program just announced by the Quail Lodge & Golf Club called the Quail Moto Rally Experience. As part of this promotion, you can book a stay at the Quail Lodge any time of the year and then rent a collector car to take on the famous pre-planned road rally through the scenic and winding country roads along the Monterey Bay area. You'll be able to rent vehicles as diverse as a 1937 Mercedes-Benz Limousine to a 1968 Camaro SS Convertible or 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 replica for the four-hour tour. Tours include foodie tours, or visits to local vinyards. One of the tours includes a picnic tour of Pinnacle National Park. Click here to watch a promo video from The Quail Lodge & Golf Club.

We just got back from Hot August Nights in Reno, Nevada this past weekend. This show just keeps getting bigger every year. The Sunday parade down the strip in Reno started at about 10 AM on Sunday morning and did not end until noon. Now that's a lotta' cars. We've never seen anything llike it. If you missed our live coverage, you can review the photos and videos of this past weekend at this link. Seeing all the 1950's and 1960's cars on the main drag was like stepping back in time to an era when the car culture was king. It's heart warming for us Baby Boomers. They call it the World's Biggest Car Show and they have a right to claim that name.

We congratulated the Hot August Nights Cup Award winner this weekend in our blog report on the awards ceremony. (Follow this link to see who won.) But we also held our own contest for Best of Show with our COL readers. They picked a 1933 Ford Roadster built by Customs & Hot Rods of Andice, Texas. Tracy and Harold Chapman's beautiful '33 Roadster was a class entry in the Hot August Nights Cup competition this past weekend. They told us there were over 100 custom fabricated or modified parts on this incredible street rod build. It received the most votes on our Facebook page as Best of Show for our Hot August Nights review. Our readers obviously have more traditional tastes.

Here is a real deal 1970 Plymouth Cuda V Code with a shaker hood. The private seller from Dumas, Pennsylvania says it is all numbers matching. Take a breath. That's amazing ... a shaker Cuda V Code 440 6 Pack with all numbers matching. Add to that ... it comes with a Super Track Pack option 4.11 rear end. He says the Tor-red Cuda is an original California car with a black vinyl top, and has been inspected by Mopar historian Galen Govier. And he says it was restored in 2000. It has a new ECS turn down exhaust, and new Polyglass e60-15 tires. A full set of photos of the restoration in progress is available to view. What a find for a top Mopar collector. You'll be interested to know that the price is below what the price guides say is the average value.

This year's Fall Auburn Auction on Labor Day Weekend is shaping up to be the one big national auction you just can't afford to miss. The Fall Auburn Auction by RM Sotheby's is part of the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Festival held in Auburn, Indiana, August 29-September 1, 2019. RM Auctions is anticipating over 700 vehicles will cross the auction block for the giant sale. The auction sale at the RM Auction Park during the A-C-D Festival has been going on for 46 years. The lineup of featured cars is amazing. Here are some we discovered in their inventory this week:

A brilliant 1933 Chrysler CL Imperial Dual-Windshield Phaeton will be offered for sale at this year's Fall Auburn Auction. It will be one of the star cars you will see for sale on Saturday. What is significant is that it will be offered at No Reserve. Yes, we said at No Reserve. The history on this car is well known. It was purchased new by a famous boat racer, Lou Fageol. During its history it was owned by both college students and millionaires. They say it was restored in the 1980's.

Ford has made the purchase of their coveted exotic super car, the Ford GT, so exclusive that buyers far outnumber the few GT's available. So to have an opportunity to buy a 2017 Ford GT such as this one at the Fall Auburn Auction should excite today's exotic car enthusiasts. They say this is the only one produced in Riviera Blue. It has a 647-horsepower, 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

It is probably the most important car Buick ever built. The 1953 Buick Skylark Convertible was designed to make a statement that Buick was the dominant luxury car company of its day. This beautiful example is one of a huge number of 1950's cars available in the Fall Auburn Auction sale. A frame off restoration was performed about 10 years ago. Prior to that it was an AACA senior First Place Award winner. It is one of 1,690 produced for Buick's Anniversary Year.

Is the Dodge Charger or the Plymouth Cuda the most popular muscle car for Mopar enthusiasts? That question may be arguable. But there is no doubt that this 1969 Dodge Charger 500 SE is in high demand among Mopar collectors. It will be among the top muscle cars for sale during this year's Fall Auburn Auction at the end of August. This one is offered from the RPM Collection. A new restoration, it has the 440 Magnum Dodge big block motor. One of only two in this color.
