The 2014 La Jolla Concours d'Elegance and its companion Motor Car Classic attracted more than 200 cars. Automotive Traveler's Classic Car's Editorial Director Richard Truesdell attended and complied this photo album book. Held at Ellen Browning Scripps Park on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, the event kicks off the 2014 concours season on the West Coast, coming as it does a month after the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. This year the winner of Best of Show, pre-war, was the 1930 Bugatti Type 46 Faux Cabriolet owned by Richard Adams. The winner of Best of Show, post-war, was the 1952 Cadillac Ghia owned by The Petersen Museum.

Now in its 20th year, the Rodeo Drive Concours d'Elegance has been listed by Frommer's as "300 Unmissable Events in the World." On what is often said to be the world's most fashionable avenue, the theme for this year's show was the Jet Age. This was the period immediately following the end of the Second World War characterized by optimism, aerodynamic styling, flamboyant tail fins, wide white walls, and massive amounts of chrome. This year's event also celebrated two 50-year anniversaries, for the iconic Porsche 911 and the ground-breaking Learjet. Each was marked with special displays, in the case of the Learjet, a full-scale mock up on Rodeo Drive of the all-new model 85 business jet. The organizing committee assembled an outstanding collection of cars from the classics of the 1920s to contemporary supercars like the McLaren P1 with its 900-horsepower hybrid gas-electric drivetrain. Held every Father's Day, the Rodeo Drive Concours d'Elegance is totally free for spectators and is unique in all the world.

The 2014 Fabulous Fords Forever show brought together more than 1,700 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. Automotive Traveler's Classic Car's Editorial Director Richard Truesdell attended and complied this photo album book highlighting the vehicles that the Ford Car Club Council selected to be featured which included the 50th anniversary of the launch of the Mustang in 1964, the 55th birthday of the Galaxie and the 75th birthday of Mercury. Held annually at Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, the event celebrated its own 29th birthday this year and is billed as the largest Ford-only event on the West Coast. The book also displays the the Johna Pepper award for the event's top car, a 1965 Ford Mustang fastback owned by Neal Polan and the Bill Stroppe award for the show's best truck, a 1967 Ford Bronco owned by Kiyoshi Uchiyama.

Automotive Traveler's Classic Car is a new print-on-demand classic car publication aimed at a world-wide audience. It is inspired by the great UK motoring titles like Octane, Classic and Sports Car and Thoroughbred and Classic Car as well as US titles like Motor Trend Classic, Cars and Parts and Automobile Quarterly, all no longer published. Automotive Traveler's Classic Car hopes to fill that void. Automotive Traveler's Classic Car covers postwar cars from 1945 to 1990. While the magazine will cover priceless classics, it won't ignore more mainstream cars. This is our preview issue and the cover feature is the 1979 Le Mans-winning Porsche 935 Kremer K3. Other features include three cars from the early sixties, Chrysler's Ghia-bodied Turbine Car, a one-off, two-seat Studebaker Avanti and an elegant six-cylinder Fiat Abarth 2300S Ghia coupe. The final feature is classic American muscle, a 1969 Chevy Camaro Pace Car, but not the well-known Indy Pace Car, rather one of seven Camaros built for pace car duties at NASCAR speedways in the southeast. It is just one of the seven known to have survived. The contributing columnists to Automotive Traveler's Classic Car talk about their own classic car experiences, each in their own engaging way. TV host Lance Lambert remembers his first close encounter with Studebaker's Avanti as a 15-year-old who pedaled to his local dealership more than 50 years ago. In his car culture column, Contributing Editor Nick Guzan talks about the legendary Aston Martin DB5 made famous 50 years ago in Goldfinger. And the issue concludes with Joe Babizsz telling the story of the Swiss origins of Chevrolet, the most American of automotive brands. Unlike traditional print magazines, Automotive Traveler's Classic Car, is interactive. Embedded in almost every feature is a QR code allowing you to call up videos and slide shows on your smartphone while you're reading the magazine. Automotive Traveler's Classic Car spans the print-digital divide bringing you the best of both worlds. Automotive Traveler's Classic Car is produced for car enthusiasts, by car enthusiasts, giving you a unique reading experience that will fuel your automotive passions.
