2009 SOVREN PACIFIC NW HISTORICS // PADDOCK & PRE-RACE

The SOVREN Pacific Northwest Historics are to the Northwest, what the Monterey Historics and Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance are to the California automotive scene. A collection of automobiles and personalities that might otherwise go unnoticed, this years SOVREN event, while slim in turnout, was a great opportunity for Northwest motorsport enthusiast to see some of the most fabulous race cars ever produced (see above). That said, follow the link for a look at some of the lust-worthy metal that made an appearance this year... [read more]

The Seattle based Liberty Motors, Ace Cycle-Car. Somewhat similar to the Morgan three wheeler, this V-Twin powered ride was a hit at SOVREN.

The first and only time I have seen a Cord in person. Manufactured by the Auburn Automobile Company from 1929-1932 and again in 1936 and 1937, this was a rare opportunity to see a very rare car.

While there were a few woody's on hand, this Chrysler certainly caught our eye.

There were a great deal of vintage Trans-Am car in attendance, relatively speaking, and it was great to see this 1970 Boss 302 Mustang out on track all weekend.

A few vintage Harley-Davidson's were in attendance, but 'The Flying Merkel' was a particular favorite of ours.
