From Tony Sundstrom:
Good One Howard,
You really made me stretch my poor simple brain on the Pebble Beach questions, and a couple I only got partially, but here goes;
1. 1957 Maserati 250 Fantuzzi Monoposto Spider
2. 1954 Kaiser-Darrin
3. 1929 Duesenberg Model J Murphy Bodied
4. 1908-1912 Stanley Steamer
5. 1934 Hispano-Suiza J12 Fernando + Darrin Coupe De Ville
6. 1933 Ruxton Budd Bodied Sedan (1 Of 16 That were at the show)
7. 1907 White Model G with Jay Leno driving
8. 1948 Tatra T87
9. 1934 Hispano-Suiza Fernandez+ Darrin Body
10. See #6
Again, without looking anything up, I’d swear that Deusy’s an SJ (supercharged) - see the hood side grille and external pipes. Hey - switching #10 was sneaky! Sam, III
