In a past life, I wrote about the Miller 91 that Car and Driver editor Karl Ludvigsen found in a dank barn in France, and brought to the U.S.--and later saw installed in the National History Museum. Today, it's another spectacular Miller that made its way to the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours...

  Design studios rarely receive the kind of comprehensive museum treatment of established car brands. It's no easy thing to assemble a cohesive group of cars that eventually were sold by different car companies, each with a different purpose in mind. As one of the honored marques at this year's...

While Mercedes-Benz made a show of its own with a massive gathering of its 2010 SLS AMG sportscar, it also found a place of honor on the lawn at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance with this near-perfect 1930s roadster. Shown for the first time at the 1934 Berlin Motor Show, this...

The Bugatti 57S Atlantic was, in many ways, ahead of its time. Even now, over 70 years later, it features elements just beginning to make their way into the average passenger car, such as aluminum body panels. This example, on display this weekend at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance...

Who needs a reason to look at photos of collectible, unique, rare, or storied racing and sports cars? We sure don't. So we won't give you one this time around. If you've enjoyed these peeks through our lens of the many brilliant bits and pieces of the Quail gathering, hang on for a roundup of the...

Call it a wrap - yesterday's motorsports gathering, The Quail 2010, is over, and with this post, MotorAuthority is switching gears to tomorrow's Pebble Beach Concours. Our first outing to the Quail Lodge's eight-year-old affair brought us an up-close view of some stunning race cars from the 1950s...

  With a frail Carroll Shelby at the helm, The Quail 2010 paid homage to some of the greatest Mustangs in history on Friday. And if you've never seen a 'Stang older than the 2011 BOSS 302 we brought you yesterday, the Quail's collection of pony cars provided an instant history lesson. Paired with...

  While The Quail 2010 celebrated 45 years of Carroll Shelby's Mustangs in a prime collection of GT500s, GT350s, KR convertibles and one bare-metal shell of an ur-Shelby Mustang, a smaller circle of roadsters connected the dots between the 'Stangs to Shelby himself. A curated quartet of Shelby...

Bugatti. The very name spells vintage luxury--or, if you're more modern-minded, outright speed and power. Though with its current German parentage, the Bugatti of today bears little resemblance to the classics of Ettore. Delahaye, on the other hand, has fallen off the map for all but the dedicated...

After you drown in high-cholesterol classics from Bugatti, Packard, Allard and Shelby all day at The Quail 2010, it's easy to overlook some of the simply amazing cars in the parking lot of the Quail Lodge. The cars left idle on the Quail greens alone would put whole concours events in less moneyed...

  This year's Quail motorsports gathering underscored the "motorsports" half of the equation, with a display of rare race cars that avoided the destruction you might expect to happen to lightweight, fragile classics like these two exceptional cars. The 1955 Kurtis 500SX above has a unique...

This selection of the Alfa Romeos on display at the 2010 Quail Lodge Motorsports Gathering shows a sampling of the Italians on display.

It's almost time for the most prestigious classic-car event in America. This weekend, High Gear Media will be covering the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance from stem to stern--with some driving time with a pair of exotics, a side trip through The Quail's impromptu collection of singular...

Everything from the rarest to the latest will be present.

The price of entry is just $32,100--with an unmet reserve.

If you're a baseball fan and a car nut, you might want to book your tickets for next month's Mecum Monterey Auction: superstar slugger Reggie Jackson is sending not one, not two, but 15 cars to the block. In a press release, the folks at Mecum highlight Jackson's prized 1969 ZL1 Chevrolet Camaro --...

The ICONIC AC Roadster is a rebirth and reimagining of the legendary Shelby AC Cobra.

The one-off design is heralded as a "return to the golden age of picnicking."

The Shelby up for auction at Mecum's Monterey event is not your ordinary GT350.

The reports indicate a lightweight topless version of the 911 could be on its way back.
