View Photos from the Little Car Show
Monterey Car Week is all about big numbers, but it can also be about small wonders like these from the Pacific Grove Little Car Show. Scroll through for some gems.
A small car show without a Meyers Manx is not a small car show. For some reason, this tangerine orange 1970 buggy and its matching owner were the first thing that caught our eye.
Clearly we aren't over patina yet, and why would you be, when it looks as good at Kurt Tamashiro's 1958 Porsche 356.
Though she be but little, she is fierce. Despite its small size and 750-cc engine, this 1959 Fiat Abarth Zagato 750 coupe was raced all through the 1960s. Look at the double bubble roof, for helmet clearance. The 750 is built out of a Fiat 600, with aluminum bodywork around a tube frame.
If they aren't little enough, cut some out of the middle.
It's not all older classics. This 1992 VW Corrado flew the modern classic flag.
We didn't think it was possible for a Bugeye Sprite to look more excited, but this series I Austin-Healey with its clamshell up looks like it wants you to pick it up for a hug. Well under the 1800-cc rule, the Bugeye's 948-cc engine made 43 hp and could go from zero to 60 in... about 20 seconds.
Author's favorite, the mini-wedge of a 1976 Fiat X1/9.
Another car with a puppyish expression. Look at that cute little 1960 Messerschmitt three-wheeler.
