LA Auto Show 2008


LA Auto Show 2008 - not as busy or interesting as the past, but some very interesting stuff anyway.

Art Center in Pasadena had a special exhibit - the best of the show, so we'll start here.

It's Gary Kaberle's continuation of the Bertone Alfa B.A.T. series, BAT 11 first shown at the Geneva show earlier this year.

On to the rest of the show - starting with Porsche

Nice logo in the hall

And model Cayman framing....

Jerry Seinfeld's 550 Spyder

Seinfeld's 550 is original - not paint cracks around the coachbuilder's emblem.

I have a thing about these Spyder emblems. Shot one at a previous LA Auto Show.

If only they could hav emade the Boxster look this good...

911

Lots of red brakes and cars in unusual colors

Red metallic - a touch of bronze

And black wheels are in style
