One of the most enjoyable events of Monterey Classic Car Week, The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, returns to the lush green grasses of Quail Lodge & Golf Club in Carmel, California, on Friday, August 19.
This year’s event will celebrate multiple featured themes, including: Rivalries of the Ages; the 100th Anniversary of BMW Celebrating Motorcars and Motorcycles; a Retrospective of Laguna Seca Raceway; the 50th Anniversary of the Lamborghini Miura; Supercars; the Great Ferraris and Sports and Racing Motorcycles.
More than 200 rare motor vehicles, selected from private collections around the world, will be on display, including: a 1957 Lancia Aurelia B20 “Outlaw” Coupe, a modified take on the car that won its class at the 1951 24 Hours of Le Mans by a full lap, and finished 2nd overall in the Mille Miglia; a 2016 Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus, recently winner of its class at the 2015 24 Hours of Nürburgring before being displayed at Villa d’Este; a 1934 Packard Chassis Coachbuilt Body, owned by Metallica frontman, James Hetfield; a 1966 Lola T70 Mk2 Can-Am car that left the factory as a roadster, but has been converted to coupe form for vintage racing; and a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder whose pedigree and history earned it the title of “The Most Significant Porsche Class Winner” at Amelia Island in 2008.
