Following a one year absence, The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering is returning to Carmel, California with more than 200 rare automobiles. The 18th iteration of The Quail is set to pay tribute to the “50th Anniversary of the Alfa Romeo Montreal” and “Automotive Couture, French Cars Featuring the 50th Anniversary of the Citroën SM.”
“What makes The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering a truly remarkable event, aside from the extravagant setting and fine culinary offerings, is its unbeatable selection of vehicles from a variety of genres, manufacturers and time periods,” said Kai Lermen, General Manager of Quail Lodge & Golf Club. “Pre- and post-war sports and racing machines meet the newest innovations from leading manufacturers at our event. It’s a wonderland for the automotive enthusiast.”
Some particularly noteworthy vehicles that will be displayed during the August 13th event include a ‘1931 Duesenberg Derham Tourster, 1937 Bugatti 57S Gangloff, 1967 Shelby American King Cobra Can-Am and 1978 Lamborghini LP400 Countach Periscopio.’ The 1937 Bugatti is celebrated for having one of the earliest supercharged engines, whereas the Countach Periscopio is a rare model of just 150 examples. In addition to these remarkable vehicles, guests can expect to see a full range of pre and post war automobiles, including race cars.
Once again, the event will feature the ultimate garden party with five culinary pavilions as well as the event’s highly anticipated fireside chats. The Bonhams Quail Lodge Auction will also be returning and taking place concurrently with the event.
