David,
Thank you. Great photos, cool collection. Great plates, I'm trying to guess who DG is..... Probably "Da Guy" or something like that.
I had an opportunity to go to a Cars n Coffee in the LA area a few years ago, WOW! Way better than what I'm accustomed to in Michigan.

I had a chance to go to the cars &coffee in Irvine early Sat morning several yrs ago, much like what you saw, quite a mix, but there were also some cool hot rods when I went.
The bump is typically referred as a Gurney bubble.

Yes, I love Technology
Thanks for great pix. Went to the closest local show I have around here last Saturday - one of many here in North-West Indiana. We see about 99% American iron around here, so I have to get an occasional "exotics fix" through postings like yours. I still drool over XKE's after all these years.

Nice photos!
What a great turnout.
Our local Cars & Coffee has turned into a bunch of factory cars. Very few classic cars or anything of interest anymore.

Very nice David! I like what they have down with the new Ford GT. I used to be a huge fan of Porsche’s but alas it seems as though that has passed me by years ago likely due to seeing them all over now due to the various models. Love the old classics though of anything.

Nice pics! The name for that hump on the top of the older Ford GT in your first picture is a Gurney Bubble.

Yep, and both of those GT's were owned by him. I was joking around a bit in the first post. He lived in Newport Beach before passing away this past January. I didn't ask who drove them to the gathering but if I see them again I'll try to find out their current status.

I saw one of these one time IN a restaurant up in Oklahoma City. They had cut it up and made it into a salad bar. I refused to eat there.

Wow, quite a show, David! I remember reading an article several years back in Road and Track where the editor of the magazine was having dinner with Dan Gurney and his wife. It was Dan's birthday and as dessert was served, a red Ford GT pulled up in front of the window where Dan and his party were seated. It had a red bow tied around it ... Dan's wife surprised him with quite a birthday gift!

I got the “Dan” reference right away... I heard he passed away I thought he lived in PV, guess not
Where was that ‘gathering’ at?
