Monterey Car Week,
Little Car Show

If you’re a fan of classic small cars, The Little Car Show during Monterey Car Week will be right up your alley in downtown Pacific Grove, California. There you can find a wide array of “mini, micro, steam, electric and arcane vehicles of 1800cc displacement or less from around the globe.” And it did not disappoint.
It’s not every day that you get to see an NSU Prinz 1000 TT or a Renault 5 Turbo 2 homologation special. And that’s the normal cars.
We also found a 1969 Austin-Healey Sprite with a Sprinzel hood, an Ashley GT fastback, Peugeot 404 cabriolet and a 1958 MG Magnette ZB Varitone. Of course, there were a bunch of Minis, which had their own area.
On the way out we spotted a pristine, two-door Fiat 131, with all the upgrades. We left a car under the wiper. Contact us, please!
Proceeds from the Little Car Show goes to a good cause. It supports the Pacific Youth Center and Veterans Transition Center of California.
I have attended the Little Car Show twice, although it features many unique "small" cars they seem to lack having "Little" cars in attendance. It would be great if a Messerschmitt or Isetta would show up. There must be some small or micro car owners in Northen California that would be willing to display their vehicles. I would but I'm 2,500 miles away.
And we have some more photos from the Little Car Show. What’s your favorite here?
