Visiting the Concours d'Elegance - August 2018

My wife and I love to visit Monterey, CA each year for our anniversary - but this year, we happened to visit the same week of the Concours d'Elegance!  So here are the pics!  Let's start with a Raptor (actually it's an F-150 converted) with the Gulf Livery - our '17 Avalanche in the background :)
