Genevieve, the movie about the London to Brighton run







the movie is about a guy with a wonderful wife, and she has been putting up with his annual run in the London to Brighton event, and this time, he bets the family savings that he will beat his old pal, the guy in the yellow 1904 Spyker, that his 1905 Darraq will finish first between the two of them

It might seem like I live in the best car show are in the world, because of so many wonderful cars of all eras, like this large number of brass era autos... and the fact that this isn't the only Velie I've found here in San Diego, the other is a 1911 http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/08/1911-velie-at-lamesa.html

1908 Chalmers Detroit 30 ( named by the new owner of the Thomas Motorcar company so a car company would have his name)
