Hoods Up!
28 April 2005
I returned to the MFA's show Speed, Style, & Beauty, an exhibit of some cars from Ralph Lauren's collection. This time it was Hoods Up! night, which happened only once a month. This was way cool, not only because I could see the engines, but because it attracted the true motor heads.
1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing Coupe
You gotta love this car. The body sculpture and classic styling are really hard to capture in a photo. Standing beside it, the car just radiates build quality and solidity. It has the subtle lines and curves of something that could only have been mass produced, but it has the quality of something that could only have been made by hand.
1962 Ferrari 250 GTO
My friend Erik (Doctor It) Miller, put this car on his list for Santa.

I suppose as long as you are wishing, you might as well pull out all the stops. My source says this is "one of the rarest, and most expensive Ferraris ever produced."
1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 Mille Miglia
