I was lucky enough to hear about this show on "Drive Chicago" last weekend and my wife straightened me out as to which day it actually was, I thought it was Saturday the 23rd when infact it was Sunday the 24th. This show was open to the public but the cars were INVITE ONLY, so I knew there would be NO junk and it couldn't have been better, this was the best show I've ever been to due to the variety which you'll see!

There was alot of people and there was alot of heat and humidity, so I wasn't able to get the types of cars that were there, the older Italian exotics threw me for a loop to say the least and there as some UNBELIEVABLE cars to show you, so please enjoy the pics:

I was lucky enough to park on the main street of Geneva and parked between this and a S2K, lucky me!

Look at those hips!

Two great FoMoCo products right next to each other, Continental Mk II and the classic 57' T-bird!

Near the actual show, this caught my eye for sure, Citreon!!

IMG_20140824_123751_zpse3kv3rzr.jpg


Yeah like mid-years weren't going to be at a show like this, LOL! This is a 65' w/ the rarest color combo for the year, black w/silver interior!

IMG_20140824_123909_zpst8gj5dfk.jpg


Its BRG, proper!

IMG_20140824_124216_zpspod8thsx.jpg


Now I'm not cultured enough to appreciate the classics from the 20's and 30's but this car stopped me dead in my tracks and had me talking to myself! 1932 Auburn Speedster, pics do this car NO justice, trust me!

IMG_20140824_124403_zps9ivxgi6m.jpg


Maserati race car, I would've loved to have heard this fire up, why, BECAUSE RACECAR!

IMG_20140824_124652_zpsduu0eh0p.jpg


Not sure what model Ferrari this is but it looks very cool!

IMG_20140824_124714_zpsieokqbmj.jpg

IMG_20140824_124902_zps0fmx1jy8.jpg


....Did you catch your breathe after the above car, ok, we'll continue, another Alfa!

IMG_20140824_124932_zpst2o5uzru.jpg


Someone help me out there, I have NO idea what this is but because I've never seen one and it really stood out, I snapped a pic!

IMG_20140824_124941_zps0lqjh1vq.jpg


1969 Pantera DeTomaso...concept car maybe???

IMG_20140824_125009_zpsj6bblodm.jpg


Ok, I have more pics but I wanna stop here and start another post, so please, don't post anything till I'm done, thank you! Wait till you guys/gals see what's coming up next to start the post, think rallye ICON!
 
Now this is just something you don't see everyday unless you have one, period!

1993 Lancia Delta Intagrale EVO

I would rather drive the above Italian masterpiece over the next car....why, well, just look at it! Can you imagine getting out of this car w/o gold chains, parachute pants and a muscle shirt....???, yeah, me either. I'll never understand why these cars get so much pub, its a cartoon character....

IMG_20140824_125524_zps8m3oxfhc.jpg


Now here's something I would love to be seen in, actually, I want to drive one....badly!

IMG_20140824_125718_zpsmsgmqpfq.jpg


Mogan, love the color combo!

IMG_20140824_125749_zpszhuse2pt.jpg


You can clearly see where Jag got the styleing cues for the S-type, its undeniable!

IMG_20140824_125810_zpsbjqprqri.jpg


Yet another ICON, BRG to boot....!

IMG_20140824_125834_zps9lrpktxq.jpg

I'm not into "brass cars" at all, but I really, really liked this one!

IMG_20140824_130421_zpsl1pqx6w6.jpg


Can"t spell the name of this but I'll try...Misserschmitt

IMG_20140824_130611_zpspi5lszdw.jpg

IMG_20140824_130714_zpslga72tzf.jpg

Classic MG!

IMG_20140824_130921_zpsdx6zuqvv.jpg


Now were going to take a stroll down Porsche street, the PCA had an entire street to themselves, prepare yourself for greatness!

914

IMG_20140824_131514_zpsmq9r18fm.jpg


I heard a lady call this color "baby poop" brown, LOL!

IMG_20140824_131554_zpsiqnkxtpy.jpg


Ok, its not white but it is triple black and I know this is a family show but let's just say I was at "automotive attention" here!

IMG_20140824_131636_zpsmxgbncnf.jpg


Again, look at those hips!

IMG_20140824_131659_zpsqowokfik.jpg


Love the TURBO decal on the fender, actually drove an 89' Turbo S to Otto MINI near Philly about 6 years ago for a customer to pick up coming from NY, drove back a brand new JCW MINI (but that's another story)

IMG_20140824_131737_zpskrwwpm2w.jpg


You just can't deny a 911 w/ Fuchs!

IMG_20140824_131804_zpsrwxh3yol.jpg


Just look at the paint on this 930, are you kidding me!

IMG_20140824_131831_zpsw5edruat.jpg


Last year for the proper, air-cooled turbo 911, the 993 and just look at this car and its stance and rims, perfect!

IMG_20140824_131845_zpsokjokzqx.jpg


The hips have been taken in a bit but its still got a little bit going on back there!

IMG_20140824_131952_zpsvlhkpxwh.jpg


Early, early 911...

IMG_20140824_132059_zpsb0u5ttdv.jpg


....and now for something completely different (and BIG)

IMG_20140824_132156_zpsaeecyhil.jpg


Like I said, different and different is good, oh so very good!

IMG_20140824_132440_zpsyjrxvktp.jpg


British and BRG, what a beautiful thing!!

IMG_20140824_132725_zpshsq7gone.jpg


IMG_20140824_132746_zpsce2rqcjh.jpg


61' "Bubble Top", one of my favorite classic Chevy's, period! (just add Torque Thrusts and serve!!)

IMG_20140824_132920_zps2avsfbtu.jpg


The MINI Moke, originally designed for the military, very cool!

IMG_20140824_133117_zpsakgliihr.jpg


...and so this wraps up the pics from the Geneva Concours D'legance, hope you enjoyed the pics :props:
 
Wow, that's a ton of great pics. Thanks for sharing.

NO problem Run, I like posting pics and sharing and adding commentary and I'm sure I might come off like Jeremy Clarkson sometimes but oh well, LOL! My license plate says CPT SLOW, so go figure and I'm short like Richard Hammond, I guess I'm always in TOP GEAR:dblthumb2:
 
Hey, what a cool place to be ! Just amazing cars, you did a very good coverage calling each one by name, even if we cannot spell them ahahhaha!

Thanks for taking your time sharing everything so well detailed with us,

For sure a MUST SEE Thread by anyone who love cars.

Kind Regards.
 
Thanks Tato, I'm sure a similar show from your country would net some amazing rides as well, would love to see what "exotic" down there, well, sides "waxings", LOL!

Im glad that i can prove to my family im not the only car's crazy ;)

I used my old Smart phone, it has a slide out keyboard FWIW because for me its not natrual to not feel the keys, LOL!

Cfhicago is awesome for cars and food!

I really enjoy your car passion:

1 - Citroën
2 - it's a Ferrari 250 Europa
3 - it's a Ferrari 275 GTB;
4 - it's a Iso Rivolta Grifo. Iso also designed the Isetta which was the competitor of the Messerschmitt KR200 you also took a picture of;
5 - it's a De Tomaso Mangusta

:props:
 
I was waaaay off on the GTB, sorry, LOL!

Enough eye candy there to need a visit to the dentist . . . or optomitrist . . . cavities cavities . . . :dblthumb2:
 
I have always loved those Jag XKE's, but that Triumph in British Racing Green is the winner in my humble opinion! Thanks for the great pics......well done.

Now I have to go back and start wiping the drool off my keyboard.

Funny thing about that one a guy actually walked by and thought it was black, LOL!

Thanks everyone, I promise to post the pics from all the good shows I go to and comment on them. I've been corrected about the Ferrari so I may not be spot on everytime but my "pashen" (as Barry Mequiar says) will always be there, so never a pic without a comment, compliment or complaint, LOL!

59' Corvette w/ an Art Morrison chassis and modern LS drivetrain and a Callaway C4, back when 380 hp was a real big deal!
