Yeah, the tour no longer has it's lunch stop in Carmel...I guess it was getting a little too busy with all the people trying to get a look at the cars. A good way to check out all the cars on the tour...and hear them run...is to be where they queue up for the start. It's in PB, right at the Gooding auction tent. Need to be early though...by 7am it starts getting busier with more people arriving.

Then the founder/organizer, a guy named Freedman, passed away and that was that. It has yet to return
This guy actually ran Tuesday's 'Concours-on-the-Avenue' which was absent last year due to his passing. That Tuesday slot's now been taken by 'Concours-for-a-Cause'...a similar event with the same mix of cars.

That mid-day Thursday stop in Carmel was part of the 'Tour d' Elegance' for cars that'll be shown in Sunday's concours.
