different wheels. Different headlights. Different car.

I think the epitome of the "melting candybar" look is the Porsche Boxster.

I think this one was better from Jag since it captured a lot of the feel of the old E-Types (one of the best looking cars also IMHO):

Yep. Jag was the featured marque when I was there, so it was at Palo Alto too.

I think the W140 Mercedes S-Class is a timeless classic. The original Big Body Benz.

For some reason, I've never made it to the Palo Alto Concours. My sister and her husband live in Menlo Park so you'd think I could put it together. Maybe next year.
