Spyker C8 Aileron To Debut At Pebble Beach, Dilute Show Even More
We've just heard the Spyker C8 Aileron will make its North American debut at this weekend's Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance. We've already seen the Aileron make it's worldwide debut at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show, so color us jaded if we're not terribly excited by this news. In fact, we're beginning to get a bit annoyed with automakers treating Pebble Beach like the Detroit Auto Show. At the current count, debuting this year is the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport, the Pininfarina Hyperion, and one other (much more interesting) car we can't tell you about 'till tomorrow morning. Sure would be nice to have, you know, old cars at the show too.

Hertz To Auction 25 Shelby Mustang GT-H Convertibles At Monterey Kruse Auction
Only 500 2007 Shelby GT-H Convertibles were made for Hertz's Rent-a-Racer fleet, but if you want one, 25 of them will be for sale at next week's Kruse auction in Monterey. True, you could probably build your own by bolting on a few parts to a standard GT Mustang Convertible, but if you're convinced a GT-H driven some of the hardest miles known to man by a series of cement-footed Ford fan-boy tourists will have some level of future "value," then by all means, head on over to the Auction. Sure, you'll have to pay $100 to get in the door plus a 10% commission on the car, but with so many of the yellow-and-black Mustangs under one roof, you may end up with a steal. (Hat tip to Buckster!)

Porsche "No. 1" Coming To Pebble Beach
The Porsche officially known as the Type 356-001, but affectionately known simply as "No. 1," will be making it's first ever appearance in North America at this month's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The forefather of Bruce, originally designed by Dr. Ferdinand back in 1947, was supposed to be at the '98 Monterrey Historics for the brand's 50th anniversary, but was damaged in transit. Apparently it took another ten years for Porsche to decide to try it again — as the car now heads over to us from the fatherland to celebrate Porsche's 60th anniversary. So if you're a passionate Porsche purist, this may be your only chance to scope out "No. 1" on these shores for quite some time. The car's full story is in the press release after the jump. More » -

Bugatti Veyron Targa To Bow At Pebble Beach, Car Snobs To Feign Disinterest
The Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance usually plays host to the reveal of at least one high profile, high-dollar piece of driveway candy every year. This year is no exception with the Bugatti Veyron Targa expected to make an appearance and drop its very expensive top. And when we say expensive, what we really mean to say is ridiculously expensive. More » -

Pininfarina Hyperion, Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe-Based Convertible To Premiere At Pebble Beach Concours
The coolest thing about the Pininfarina Hyperion isn't its swooping, yacht-influenced lines or abbreviated passenger compartment. It's that this isn't a concept car, it's a one-off coach-built special commissioned by a wealthy enthusiast. Other details on the Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe special haven't yet emerged, but expect to see the Hyperion in full at the Pebble Beach Concours in August. [via Pininfarina]

Farewell, Monterey. Hello Again, L.A.
For dirt-poor gearheads with a penchant for the unloved and inexpensive as well as a passion for history, craftsmanship, design and wonderful noises, scoring a chance to hit the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and its attendant and ancillary events is like being handed a golden ticket to an automotive fantasyland where Ferraris scream in the distance as one falls asleep at night, while race day is populated with barking Offenhausers, thundering big-block V8s and spitting, yowling Coventry Climaxes. New cars appear and old cars reappear, sometimes weathered by the ravages of time, others restored to a high-gloss sheen that's likely better than the condition in which the vehicle first arrived in its original owner's hands. We'll go so far as to say that although it's presented in a high-buck format, you owe it to yourself to experience the Monterey weekend at least once in your life. It's that good. If you missed our reportage due to excessive sleep and/or family life, fear not — we've got a link to the insanity here. What's more, there's plenty of goodness left to share throughout the week. Break out the eye peeler. -

The Jalopnik Yuri Gagarin Memorial Timepiece Collection
While judges scour and pore over fine examples of coachwork from Zagato and Scaglietti, chassis and engines by Duesenberg, Aston Martin — and even a hand-picked selection of hot rods by ingenious American hoodlums — in search of a winner, Bumbeck and Johnson scoured the field for the odd little gems that most embody the spirit of awesome. Sometimes it's a detail as small as a primer bowl on a rack of Webers. Others, it's the pure aura of gigantic gobs of awesome, most strikingly displayed by the Napier-Railton Brooklands oval speed-record car. Plus, some brave individual manhandled the beast through the Corkscrew yesterday at Laguna. And what could be better than that?
